ERITH post office has been selected to sell stamps picturing gold medalists within 24 hours of winning.

The post office in Erith High Street is just one of 17 in south east London to be picked and will be open seven days a week during the Olympic Games to allow customers to buy the stamps.

The Team GB Gold Medal stamps will be available to purchase individually at the standard 60p First Class price or in sets of six stamps for £3.60.

This is a first for next day stamps for Royal Mail.
