The places and things that make Britons most proud to be British have been revealed in a new survey – and it’s the classic treat of fish and chips that takes the top spot.

It garnered 61 per cent of the vote, with the NHS in second place (56 per cent), and Big Ben and Buckingham Palace joint third (50 per cent).

The late HRH Queen Elizabeth II was also chosen by the British public, taking joint fourth place (49 per cent) on the list of what makes Brits most proud to be from Britain.

Also making the list was an old-fashioned Sunday roast with all the trimmings (joint fourth, 49 per cent), the Tower of London (fifth, 47 per cent), the Lake District (sixth, 46 per cent) and a proper cup of British tea (joint seventh, 45 per cent).

Brits also admit that Sir David Attenborough makes them glow with pride (joint seventh, 45 per cent), as does a well-risen Yorkshire pud (eighth, 43 per cent) and the iconic James Bond (ninth, 42 per cent).
