The Royal Mail has unveiled a special set of stamps featuring portraits of Queen Elizabeth II in memory of the late monarch.

The new stamps – the first set to be approved by King Charles III – will go on general sale from November 10 and will feature images of the late monarch through the years.

A photo taken by Dorothy Wilding in 1952 to mark the Queen’s accession and coronation will feature on second-class stamps. The first-class stamp will include a photo taken by Cecil Beaton in 1968 in which the monarch is standing in her admiral’s cloak with her head tilted to the left.

A portrait taken in November 1984 by Yousuf Karsh will appear on £1.85 stamps, and a photo taken by Tim Graham in 1996 while the Queen attended a banquet at Prague Castle during her visit to the Czech Republic will be the image on the £2.55 stamps.
