WATER and land speed record-breaking legend Donald Campbell will play his part in history once again as he joins nine other celebrated Britons on Royal Mail’s special ‘Eminent Britons’ stamps.

His daughter, Gina Campbell, helped launch the stamps and is thrilled her father was chosen as one of the distinguished people to be recognised by Royal Mail in this way.

“I’m humbled and honoured my father has been chosen to join these truly great Britons on these stamps which will help remind us of the things they have given us and achieved,” she said.

Among those on the stamps are former PM William Gladstone, tennis pro Fred Perry, football legend Sir Matt Busby and author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
