Bee Gees 50th anniversary stamps

The Isle of Man Post Office commemorates the long and illustrious career of the Manx-born Bee Gees with a set of eight stamps which chart the group's progress through the years. Robin, Barry and Maurice were all born on the Isle of Man and have always felt a strong attachment to the Island. The stamp sheets, first day cover envelope, presentation pack and special folder all feature lavish gold foiling and will be available online July 1st from the IOM Post Office website. The images on the stamps are derived from the covers of many of the group's milestone album covers. The stamps, and a special Bee Gees coin issue, will be unveiled by Robin and Barry Gibb at Douglas Town Hall this July 10th. Prior to the unveiling Douglas Borough Council is to confer the honorary Freedom of the Borough on Robin and Barry Gibb and their late brother Maurice.
