The Post Office is issuing a special edition collection of Mark Cavendish stamps which go on sale at the end of this month.

A souvenir sheet includes images of the Laxey man winning the 2011 World Championships and the Green Jersey in the Tour de France.

Cav said he’s proud to feature in the collection and is delighted with the images selected.

The first stamp in the set features him celebrating after winning gold for the Isle of Man in the 2006 Commonwealth Games.

The stamps were designed by Ruth Sutherland and the presentation pack text was written by Douglas-based cycling journalist and Richard Allen.
