Royal Mail has unveiled its Christmas stamps for this year - featuring scenes from the Nativity.

The series of five stamps have been jointly created by graphic designer Gareth Howat and illustrator Rebecca Sutherland.

The stamps depict familiar scenes of Mary and Joseph travelling, baby Jesus, an angel, the shepherds and the Three Wise Men.

This year's collection marks the 60th anniversary of the first-ever Christmas special stamp.
