Royal Mail stamps are rising in price today - with the cost of a first class stamp going over the £1 threshold for the first-time ever.
The price of a first class stamp has gone up by 15p, from 95p to £1.10, while a second class stamp is now 7p more expensive, up from 68p to 75p.
The 16% increase for a first class stamp is way above the current level of inflation of 10.4% - and comes on top of a 10% increase from last year.
