U.K to Honour Winston Churchill in New Curreny

Britain is set to honour Winston Churchill, its revered war-time prime minister, with a banknote featuring his portrait and the famous declaration: "I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat". 
Churchill's image will appear on a new £5 note to be issued in 2016. The blue-green design sets Churchill against the backdrop of Westminster and the Nobel Prize medal, which he won for literature in 1953.
