A list of 21 English icons has been unveiled. Mini-skirts, pubs, and Big Ben top a recent survey of quintessential British symbols and icons.

The sport of cricket, Henry VIII, and Shakespeare's Globe also make the list of all things British.

Many voted for St George's flag in its various guises, including bikini tops worn by women on many of Europe's finest beaches.

Over 300,000 people took part in an internet poll to pick national symbols.
