Carry on Hammer Stamps
London Barbara Windsor, a former star of the Carry On films, joined soldiers from the Household Cavalry in London to launch a set of Royal Mail stamps marking 50 years since the release of the first of the saucy comedies and the first Dracula movie from Hammer Films.
Carry on Sergeant and Dracula, both produced on shoestring budgets, kick-started a series of classic movies that were loved by millions.
The six stamps feature posters of three each of the best-known Carry On and Hammer Horror productions, including Carry on Cleo and The Mummy.
Ms Windsor, who posed with soldiers at the launch of the stamps, said: “Carry On was part of growing up for so many of us. It was a great honour then to be involved and I'm thrilled that Royal Mail has chosen to recognise these films in such a special way.”
The stamps go on sale today.
