Rita Ora has been “honoured” with her own postage stamp in her native country Kosovo in a heart-touching tribute.
The gift was a suprise by the country to mark her 32nd birthday on Saturday (November 26) and after more than 10 years at the top of the international music scene.
Rita who recently reportedly married Taika Waititi, took to Instagram to share a picture of the gesture, which revealed her face perpetuated on the stamp.

“I am so sorry that I’m not able to be there and receive this in person due to work commitments, but when I can, I will be sure to come and visit you and show my appreciation! Thank you!
