Since images of real people have been appearing on Bank of England banknotes, Queen Elizabeth II has featured on the obverse of all Bank of England banknotes since about 1960.

Since the late 1970's, the Bank of England decided to put famous or historically significant people on the reverse of their banknotes.

The One Pound note featured Sir Isaac Newton until the One Pound note was withdrawn in 1988.

The Five Pound note has featured the Duke of Wellington, George Stephenson and most recently, Elizabeth Fry.

The Ten Pound note has featured Florence Nightingale, Charles Dickens and most recently, Charles Darwin.

The Twenty Pound note has featured William Shakespeare, Michael Faraday, Edward Elgar and most recently, Adam Smith.

The Fifty Pound note has featured Sir Christopher Wren, Charles Dickens and Sir John Houblon. The new style Fifty Pound note released recently features Matthew Boulton and James Watt.
