Royal Mail has kick-started their 2024 stamp schedule with a set of stamps and a miniature sheet dedicated to the Spice Girls, the biggest girl band of all time.
A statement from Royal Mail said:
'The Spice Girls are global superstars, feminist icons, cultural figureheads and one of the most successful British bands since The Beatles. Between 1996 and 1998, when Spicemania was at its peak, they dominated the airwaves and stormed charts around the world with their inspirational ‘Girl Power!’ ethos and catchy pop hits. They have sold over 100 million records worldwide and scored nine UK number one singles.'
