    The Royal Mail is celebrating Queen Elizabeth II's 60th anniversary of the Coronation with a series of six stamps.

    They all seem OK, apart from this one, which doesn't look anything like her.

    It's taken from this full-length portrait by Nicky Philips.

    Unsurprisingly, it has received a fair bit of criticism.

    But it's kind of hard to get this one out of your head, isn't it?
