7 is incorrect, the correct answer is Sir Winston Churchill, in 1965 (scenes from Shakespeare plays were on the 1964 stamps designed by David Gentleman, but Shakespeare himself was not depicted).
Hi Tim – According to the British Postal Museum & Archive, Shakespeare was indeed depicted on the 1964 stamps, alongside the scenes of his plays. The original page I linked to has been removed, but you can find another link here with images and dates. http://www.collectgbstamps.co.uk/explore/issues/?issue=61
