Royal Mail is releasing a set of Lord Of The Rings stamps to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the first film in the hit trilogy.
The fantasy and adventure series began as a series of novels with the same name, written by JRR Tolkien and published in the 1950s, which was adapted into the award-winning film series – which has since spawned a string of spin-offs.
The main collection of eight stamps celebrates characters including Sir Ian McKellen as wizard Gandalf, Orlando Bloom as elf Legolas and Elijah Wood as hobbit Frodo Baggins.
