John Lennon
John Lennon is a true legend. He’s one of the founders of “The Beatles”. He is also a political activist and one of the ten greatest Britons of all time, according to the BBC poll. John had been collecting stamps from his childhood. Although his collection does not contain any special rarities, it is well-known in the world of philatelists.
Freddy Mercury
Freddie Mercury is a cult musician, brawler, and reveler. His "Bohemian Rhapsody" is recognized as the song of the Millennium, and he himself has forever entered the history of rock music. Few people know that young Freddie was going to become an artist, and even studied at the school of painting. He started collecting stamps even earlier — mostly from Zanzibar, his homeland, and later his collection expanded.
