Date of Issue : 16 April 2013

Royal Mail issued a stamp commemorating  classical musician Benjamin Britten. Britten was born in Lowestoft and lived for much of his life at the Red House in Aldeburgh. His image is included in a set of 10 “Great Britons” stamps – released on 16th April - celebrating people in sport, journalism, music, politics and the arts whose anniversaries of birth fall in 2013. The Britten Pears Foundation (BPF) and Aldeburgh Music have a number of events planned this year to celebrate the composer’s 100th anniversary.

Others include former prime minister David Lloyd George, legendary football manager Bill Shankly and actress Vivien Leigh
