A Correct answer
Explanation

Shakespeare is correct - he was the first non-royal to appear on a UK stamp in 1964, marking the 400th anniversary of his birth. This broke a long-standing tradition of only featuring monarchs and royal family members on British stamps. Churchill appeared later in 1965 after his death.
