Calls have been made for more women to be celebrated on banknotes, with only three females having appeared as the main historical figure on the reverse of Bank of England notes since 1970.

Sarah Coles, from Hargreaves Lansdown, said that women’s achievements have often generally been played down by society in the past.
She said: “It’s not just a problem with how people are selected; it also comes down to society itself, and the way women have been sidelined in history.
