LONDON (AP) – The Royal Mail is planning a tribute to Britain’s Olympians that really sticks – a set of gold medal stamps.
The postal service says it will issue a stamp honoring every member of the British Olympic team who wins a gold medal during the games. It is promising to have them on sale within 24 hours of the athlete’s victory.
The stamps go on sale Friday, the opening day of the games. The Olympics run through Aug. 12.
