This is all a bit academic now, but most of those listed are ineligible for being on the back of any £100 Bank of England note, because the B of E stipulates that the person must be English (Bank of Scotland and Clydesdale Bank issue their own notes with Scots on; Wales as a principality probably counts though) and dead - usually for a long time (only Babbage would be eligible from this list, I would guess). So the original list is quickly whittled down to:
CS Lewis
Charles Babbage
Douglas Bader
Freddy Mercury
George Harrison
JRR Tolkien
John Lennon
Laurence Olivier
Princess Diana
Sir John Mills
Stephen Lawrence
Winston Churchill
In any case, the obvious choice is John Peel - RIP0 -
cs lewis would get my voteI don't know half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.
