Stonehenge - Icon of the U.K
Hello,After years of taking awe-struck people to visit Stonehenge we are pleased that the prehistoric monument is now being honoured - by the culture minister, no less. The project Icons - A Portrait of England was launched today and aims to help define English identity.
The site can be found at http://www.icons.org.uk/ and the full list is as follows:
Stonehenge
Jerusalem
Holbein's portrait of Henry VIII
The King James Bible
S.S. Empire Windrush
Punch & Judy
Angel of the North
The FA Cup
A Cup of Tea
Alice in Wonderland
The Spitfire
The Routemaster Bus
The table will be updated every three months and each item to make it in to the top 10 on the list, which is expected to grow to around 150 items, will officially become a national icon.
So now is the perfect chance to visit a soon-to-be national icon of England - click here for details of all our tours which visit Stonehenge
Bye for now,
Sarah
