The stamps feature images of fireworks, while the sheet features images of celebrations by Chinese communities from around the UK including London, Belfast and Glasgow.

The sheet also features paper-cut dragons created by artist Rebecca Sutherland.

This is the first time Royal Mail has celebrated the Lunar New Year with a stamp release.

Stephen Agar, spokesman for Royal Mail, says, ‘Royal Mail is delighted to be marking the Lunar New Year with this sheet of stamps, to be part of the celebrations that are held in the UK and worldwide.’
