The Spice Girls have been honoured with a set of Royal Mail stamps to mark the 30th anniversary of the British band’s formation – the first time the postal service has dedicated an entire stamp collection to a female pop group.

The 10 main stamps feature performance images from the 1997 Brit awards – including Geri Horner’s union jack dress, fashioned from a tea towel – as well as various headlining shows and their reunion for the closing ceremony of the London 2012 Olympics.
