A special set of stamps is being issued to mark the 20th anniversary of the popular children’s TV series Peppa Pig.

Royal Mail revealed images of 12 new stamps featuring Peppa and her friends and family.

Peppa and George, Suzy Sheep, Danny Dog, Daddy Pig, Mummy Pig, Grandpa and Granny Pig all feature in the main set of eight stamps, as well as a miniature sheet showing the characters having fun at a party.

A special video has also been created, featuring Peppa, Daddy Pig, Mr Zebra and one of Royal Mail’s very own posties as they deliver special invitations to Peppa’s party, which can be viewed at www.royalmail.com/peppa.

David Gold, Royal Mail’s director of external affairs and policy said: “Peppa Pig, her friends and family have brought joy and laughter to global audiences of all ages for two decades.

“These delightful stamps will brighten up the day of anyone receiving mail with a touch of Peppa’s charm.”
