Postage Stamps
John Hedgecoe (born 1937 – died 7th June 2010)
Quote from http://www.amateurphotographer.co.uk
‘It’s strange to still see my photograph on the stamps after all this time,’ John reflects. ‘I think they tried to do a new one some time ago, as they do on the coins, but the Queen said she preferred the existing one.’ The story has an odd postscript. ‘Some years after it was taken, the Post Office claimed that the image had been shot by Lord Snowdon,’ John remembers. ‘So I sued the Post Office, and I won.’
