Royal Mail has revealed new images of a set of stamps that celebrates 20 years of children’s TV show Peppa Pig.
To mark the anniversary, 12 stamps featuring Peppa Pig and her friends and family will be available to buy.
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. You can watch the video via the Royal Mail website.
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.”
Senior vice president of Global Licensed Consumer Products, Hasbro, Marianne James said: “As a lifelong best friend, Peppa Pig encourages kids to jump in together and confidently treat each first step as a new adventure – from the everyday to the epic.
“Getting mail in the post is an exciting and special treat for little ones, and we cannot think of a better way for families to embrace this first experience than with Peppa Pig stamps from Royal Mail.”

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
