A former RAF headquarters has been featured in a selection of stamps marking the anniversary of the Battle of Britain.

Six commemorative stamps have been released by the Royal Mail to mark the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Britain, which was fought in the skies over southern England during the Second World War.

Included in the set is the Operations Room at the Grade II listed Bentley Priory, Stanmore, which served as the Headquarters for Fighter Command during the battle.

Along with the commemorative editions, Royal Mail vans in a selection of locations close to RAF bases will also carry an image of a stamp from the set.

The stamps will be on sale from 16 July 2015 at www.royalmail.com/battleofbritain, from 8,000 Post Office branches across the UK and by calling 03457 641 641.
