The Bank of England’s staff wish to express their heartfelt condolences to the Royal Family, following news of the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

As the first monarch to feature on Bank of England banknotes, the Queen’s iconic portraits are synonymous with some of the most important work we do. Current banknotes featuring the image of Her Majesty The Queen will continue to be legal tender. A further announcement regarding existing Bank of England banknotes will be made once the period of mourning has been observed.

50's in the process of being phased out/updated anyhow. That's what we'll all be carrying for a pint of milk or a loaf in about 12 months...

They're collectors items now so save them for antiques roadshow in 50 years!

I'm an American. I don't have a dog in this hunt. If you want my opinion, I think she did a pretty good job of helping establish a post-Empire identity for the state, but that she also did some fairly tone-deaf things along the way. Not as many as Philip, mind, but still the sort of tone-deaf things that people of privilege do. It's a mixed-bag record where she definitely gets plaudits for comporting herself with dignity in public. Compare to later generations' conduct in the public eye, and she looks pretty darned good.

If I'm from someplace with a different history, there's a good chance I feel differently. Saying 'Cromwell' in an Irish bar without 'James' immediately in front of the word is a good way to start a fight. There's not a lot of love lost there.

That's fair enough it just seems people seem to hate on The Queen, the person, for what the Monarchy represents and its dark past, which is just wrong, the Queen as a person was far from evil or crap and doesn't really deserve the hate that the monarchy itself might deserve
