Rejected petition Put David Attenborough on the new £50 note

David Attenborough deserves to be on the new £50 note more than anyone else. He is a British household name and has brought so much wonder and joy to our lives, showing us the natural world in ways more spectacular than any other person. Attenborough is a national treasure and we owe him the honour.
