New £50 note featuring Alan Turing goes into circulation
Note honouring mathematician, computer pioneer and codebreaker contains advanced security features

The new £50 note goes into circulation on Wednesday – but with consumers increasingly going cashless, for millions of people it may be months or even years before they see or touch one.

The Turing £50 will join the Churchill £5, the Austen £10 and the Turner £20, all of which are printed on polymer, a thin and flexible plastic material that is said to last longer and stay in better condition than paper.

Old paper note valid until further notice.

Brexit: EU citizens given 28-day deadline to apply to stay in UK

Immigration enforcement officials will begin giving EU citizens who live in the UK a 28-day warning to apply to remain, the government says.

But the Home Office will allow people indefinite time to complete an application for settled status if they have a reasonable excuse for delay.

There is a week to go until the deadline for applications.

Woman tried to bring Greece to her garden during lockdown - but didn't expect this

A woman who decided she was going to bring a touch of Greece to her garden this summer is staggered at how tall one of her plants has grown.

Beverley Wallace, 51 from Matson knew that her Echium Pininana plant could get tall and maybe expected it to grow to around six feet tall.

Yet the plant has far exceeded her expectations and measures at a massive 14ft and four inches tall and keeps going.

US tycoon McAfee found dead in Spanish prison

Anti-virus software entrepreneur John McAfee has been found dead in his cell at a Barcelona prison.

Just hours earlier, Spain's National Court had agreed to extradite him to the US to face tax evasion charges.

The Spanish Justice Department said in a statement that "everything indicates" Mr McAfee took his own life.

A controversial figure, his company released the first commercial anti-virus software and helped spark a multi-billion dollar industry.
