Queen will be the third British music group ever to be honored with a set of stamps by U.K. postal agency The Royal Mail, following The Beatles in 2007 and Pink Floyd in 2016.
Thirteen stamps celebrating the contributions of the legendary band will go on sale to the general public in the U.K. on July 9.
Eight of the stamps will depict Queen album covers: 1974's "Queen II" and "Sheer Heart Attack," 1975's "A Night at the Opera," 1977's "News of the World," 1980's "The Game," 1981's "Greatest Hits," 1984's "The Works and 1991's Innuendo."

Rounding out the collection is a stamp featuring a famous 1974 pic of the group taken at its first-ever photo shoot.
"Wow...stamps featuring our albums! What an honor," Queen drummer Roger Taylor said in a press release. "We must be really part of the furniture now! Thanks Royal Mail for stamping on us! In gratitude."
Queen guitarist Brian May added, "It's hard to put into words what I feel when looking at these beautiful stamps…Sometimes it's strange to wake up and realize the position in which we are now held -- we have become a national institution! And nothing brings this home more than this incredible tribute from Royal Mail."
