For the tribute to Diana, Princess of
Wales, on the 10th anniversary of her death, seen left, more than 100 stamps of a set of five featuring Diana’s portrait were used on the candle alone, symbolizing Elton John’s memorial song “Candle in the Wind.” A huge amount of thought went into the creation of the portrait and its use of symbolism.You can see more pictures of Peters work and read how he makes up the designs on this website.

I would love to see a portrait of the Machin Cast made up entirely from the definitive bearing his name.
What about it Peter?
Just to clarify, Elton John first sang "Candle in the Wind" in 1973 to honor Marilyn Monroe. He then re-used it for Princess Diana.
