Paul McCartney is probably one of the most prolific and celebrated song writers of all time. From his early days as a member of The Beatles and his successful collaboration with John Lennon through to Wings and beyond, he has composed some of the world's best-loved songs. He was twice inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame: in 1988 as a solo artist in 1999 and is recognised by the Guinness Book of World Records as the 'most honoured composer and performer in music'.
His extraordinary career is celebrated by Royal Mail in a splendidly colourful collectors' sheet with a pane of ten stamps and labels depicting him at various stages of his musical career.
