UK A-Z Part 1

Here's that overused word "iconic" again. On 13 October Royal Mail will issue UK A-Z Part 1 stamp set, an alphabetical tour of "iconic" British landmarks beginning with Antony Gormley's Angel of the North and concluding with Lindisfarne Priory (title link). The second part of the set - letters M to Z - will follow in April 2012. CLICK for a BBC News slide show with jumbo images of the first set of stamps.
