Top 50 things that make us proud to be British during the coronavirus lockdown

Since Boris Johnson announced stricter measures to stop the spread of the coronavirus outbreak on 23 March, the UK has been in lockdown with all but essential trips outside the home banned.

Despite the tough times British people are facing, a sense of community and camaraderie has grown.

In a nationwide survey, 87% of British people said they were proud to be British, citing many reasons why our country makes them proud.

Unsurprisingly, the NHS topped the list with 71% of the vote.

Our favourite foods also featured high on the list, as well. With fish and chips and a full-English breakfast featuring in second and third places.

With most fish and chip shops up and down the country closed, perhaps the nation is missing its much-loved takeaway meal.

The Queen, the British countryside and Big Ben all featured high on the list, too.

Plus, there were some lockdown favourites that have been keeping us going during this unprecedented time.
