Royal Mail in the UK is issuing a set of 15 stamps celebrating the Spice Girls as they mark their 30th anniversary.
Emma Bunton, Victoria Beckham, Geri Halliwell-Horner, Melanie Chisholm and Melanie Brown – otherwise known as Baby, Posh, Ginger, Sporty and Scary Spice – came together in 1994.
After the release of their chart-topping debut single ‘Wannabe’ in 1996, they became global award-winning superstars.
The 10 main stamps feature images from their performances from 1997 to 2012, including at the Brit Awards in 1997, and at the closing ceremony of the London 2012 Olympic Games.
A further five stamps, in a miniature sheet, are individual images of the band members from the Spice World photoshoot.
According to BBC News, this is the first time Royal Mail has dedicated an entire stamp issue to a female pop group.
They arealso the sixth music group to feature in a dedicated stamp issue, after The Beatles in 2007, Pink Floyd in 2016, Queen in 2020, The Rolling Stones in 2022 and Iron Maiden in 2023.
The stamps go on general sale on January 11th 2024.
