PEOPLE are being asked what theme they would like to see represented on the next series of banknotes, in a Bank of England consultation launched on Wednesday.

Bank of England banknotes have showcased notable historical figures since 1970, when William Shakespeare became the first person other than the monarch to feature.

The Bank said there are many ways to represent the UK on banknotes, and six potential themes have been identified. They are notable historical figures; architecture and landmarks; arts, culture and sport; noteworthy events in history; innovation; and nature.
