STORY: Photographs of the new specimen notes were released showing the monarch on all four of the country’s banknotes (£5, £10, £20 and £50).

The Bank of England said that the new notes are expected to enter circulation by mid-2024. Current banknotes featuring Queen Elizabeth would remain legal tender and would only be removed from circulation if worn or damaged, the bank said.

Charles became King in September following the death of his mother Queen Elizabeth, who died after 70 years on the throne.

Erika White, 38, said her son initially spotted the makeshift home on the lawn of her end-of-terrace urban home at 6.35am. The baffled finance analyst confronted the brazen trespasser - and said initially he ignored her polite request to move on from her front garden in Dartford, Kent. She "couldn't believe the audacity" of the sleepy camper and it was only when she told him she'd call the police he upped and went.
