Swimmer Ellie Simmonds and her fellow Team GB's Paralympic gold medal winners have been immortalised on first class stamps.

Just like they did with the Olympics, Royal Mail are commemorating the athletes' amazing achievements by putting them on a set of special Paralympic stamps.

Among those to be honoured are cyclist Sarah Storey, the first gold medal winning Paralympian, and Ellie.

Ellie swam her way to a nail-biting finish in both the 400m freestyle and the 200m individual medley, earning her two gold medals and her own stamp.

Meanwhile. Hannah Cockroft, gold medalist in the women's 100m T34, not only gets her own stamp but has been named the sexiest Paralympian by FHM!

The commemorative stamps are available in over 500 post offices across the country now.
