After their first class victory over Australia, England's victorious Ashes cricket team are to be honoured with a set of stamps, the Royal Mail said on Wednesday. England triumphed over their oldest foes and the world's best side, winning the five-Test series 2-1 to reclaim the Ashes trophy after a 16-year wait.
Images of England's new sporting heroes will feature on the special commemorative set, but it is not yet known which players.
All-rounder Andrew "Freddie" Flintoff was named man of the series.
Of particular interest will be the 68 pence stamp (one euro, 1.24 dollars) - needed to send a letter to Australia. Royal Mail spokeswoman Julietta Edgar said: "England's victory in the Ashes series certainly counts as a momentous occasion, making it an ideal topic for a set of Royal Mail special stamps. "I'm sure the public will love using these stamps every day to continue the legacy of this sporting achievement."
The Royal Mail issued a special set of stamps after England's rugby union team won the 2003 World Cup, and when London won the right to host the 2012 Olympic Games in July.
