A series of stamps were released last month by Royal Mail in honour of the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death. This series of Shakespeare stamps features quotes from Shakespeare’s plays and poems to acknowledge that he is the most published author and most performed dramatist of all time. It is believed that William Shakespeare died on 23rd April in Stratford-upon-Avon. The stamps are not the only way that the 400th anniversary has been celebrated… interestingly the Royal Mint has also produced a special edition of the £2 coin and there is a special edition of the London Underground Tube Map.

Now I am looking forward to using my new stamps.
