The old paper £5 notes cease to be legal tender tomorrow.

The old fivers need to be spent by tomorrow, May 5 - but there’s no time limitation to when you can take them into a bank and change them for the new polymer notes.

The Bank of England said all its notes retain their face value for all time. 

If your bank, building society or Post Office is not willing to accept these notes they can be exchanged with the Bank of England in London by post or in person.

There’s information on how to exchange old fivers on http://www.bankofengland.co.uk/banknotes/Pages/about/exchanges
