Early use of McCartney stamp.

The Music Giants V: Paul McCartney stamps were issued on 28 May, as detailed here.

As mentioned in a comment on the original post, at least one 1st class stamp is recorded as being used two days before the official release date.  NB says that it was "Sent from Colne, Lancs BB8 so presumably bought at Skipton Road PO BB8 0NQ". 


1st class McCartney II stamp posted two days before issue.

    In the caption under the second picture, should the stated date be "26/05/2021", i.e two days before 28th May?
