A new set of stamps is being issued marking 70 years of legendary Beano comic character Dennis the Menace.
Six stamps feature images of the perennial naughty schoolboy from a black-and-white comic strip in 1951, meeting his baby sister Bea, adopting his faithful dog Gnasher and finding out that his father is a grown-up version of Dennis from the 1980s.
The stamps are based on original strips from Beano comics of the time.
