A painter, sculptor or designer will be the face of the next £20 note and the Bank of England is calling on the public to have their say.

The Bank is asking the public to nominate “people of historic significance” from the world of the visual arts, although the final decision will be made by the governor, Mark Carney.

The public have two months to choose their candidates. As well as painters and sculptors, the category includes fashion designers, film directors, ceramicists or architects. Living people and fictional characters are barred.

I would have said the inventor of the television John Logie-Baird but since he's a Scot he can fvck right off!

Do NOT Vote Alexander McQueen.

Joseph Mallord William Turner who painted extensively in Sussex would get my vote.

I'm with HT on this. He was a brilliant writer as well. He wrote The Guns of Navarone and Where Eagles Dare.
