Other than members of the royal family, living beings are not to be pictured on England's stamps (notable exceptions: a series of anonymous children, and a slip-up in 1999 when Roger Taylor, the very-much-alive drummer of Queen, was included on a stamp with the group's late singer, Freddie Mercury). Model and actress Erin O'Connor (soon to be an Absolutely Fabulous guest star) will become another exception to this rule when she wears a Philip Treacy hat (and hats by three other designers) on a series of four stamps timed for Royal Ascot, which starts on June 19. Photographed in Paris on May 10, 2001.
