In Britain, a grandiose project is completed to determine the "greatest British in the history of the kingdom." The survey organized by the Air Force , in which more than 30 thousand people took part, revealed 10 best.
The top ten included: Queen Elizabeth I, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, naturalist Charles Darwin, Admiral Horatio Nelson, an English bourgeois revolution, the Lorde Protector of England Oliver Cromwell, physicist Isaac Naponon, poet and dramaturg William Shakspir, engineer Izammar Kingdom Brunel, who designed the cliffon bridge in Bristol, Princess Diana singer and composer, member of the Beatles group John Lennon.
Among those who did not enter the top ten, Captain James Cook, Sir Francis Drake, Johnny Rotten, Margaret Thatcher and Jeffrey Choser. The current Queen Elizabeth II did not reach the final, although in a hundred great British was named. On the other hand, it is amazing that the ten engineer Brunel entered the top ten.
The representative of the second BBC television channel Jane Ruth says: "I think that the dozen turned out to be very interesting, it contains completely different representatives of British history. In the program of programs about the Great British, we will try to tell as much as possible about each of them."
The vote turned out to be interesting. Someone considered the most inventor of Penicillin Alexander Fleming, someone-the "godfather" of the computer Alan Turing, someone-an activist for women's rights Sylvia Pankherst, and someone-composer Edward Elgar. You can find a complete list of those who entered a hundred here.
It is noteworthy that no one is left alive from this dozens. This means that the British are not as passionate about modern celebrities as it might seem. After about two months, the greatest Briton will be elected by voting.
