Robin Hood was most likely never a real person. He was a composite hero, based on real outlaws in the English medieval period whose stories were woven together by minstrels and storytellers. It was only at the end of the 16th century that playwright Antony Munday elevated Robin Hood from a yeoman to a displaced Saxon earl as a symbol of the gentry’s dissatisfaction with the crown.
FALSE!

Britain's Prince Harry and America's Meghan Markle are now the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

Queen Elizabeth hosted a lunch reception at Windsor Castle for about 600 guests. Elton John performed.

More than 100,000 people are estimated to have lined the wedding procession route.

The wedding dress was designed by British designer Clare Waight Keller, the first female artistic director at Givenchy.

The procession! The moment that many in Windsor have been waiting for - in some cases, for days - a chance to clap (misty) eyes on the newlyweds. An estimated 100,000 well-wishers have lined the streets, including the tree-lined road known as the Long Walk, to watch the Duke and Duchess of Sussex pass by. The procession is expected to last about 25 minutes.

"It was spectacular," Jayne Ralph, 50, a retail manager from Vancouver, said of the moment the newlyweds passed by. Though she suggested it would have been nice if other royals could have driven by and offered a wee wave.

The royal wedding by the numbers
200 Amalfi lemons went into the wedding cake
16 feet of silk tulle made up the bride's veil
10 pint-size bridesmaids and page boys participated in the ceremony
175 years since there was another Duke of Sussex
7 charities were chosen by the couple for donations in lieu of gifts
5,000 members of the media received credentials
Gallery: The most stunning hats at the royal wedding 8:11 a.m.: The kiss
They pass through the floral arch. They pause, and Harry leans in and Meghan leans in and the couple kisses.

They board the Ascot Landau carriage. Prince Charles waves goodbye. The long wedding dress train is addressed. The father-and-son Windsor Grey horses begin to pull them out into the town ...

You hear a roar.
8:07 a.m.: God save the Queen
Everyone rises! And belts out the British national anthem.

"God save our gracious Queen,

Long live our noble Queen,

God save the Queen ..."

As soon as Meghan Markle becomes a British citizen, as she plans to be, Elizabeth II will be not only her grandmum-in-law but her sovereign.
7:40 a.m.: The vows

Markle repeats the vow. "I Meghan, take you, Harry, to be my husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and health, to love and to cherish, till death us do part ..."

The rings are exchanged.

7:37: The choir
There's a real strain of Americaness, of the African American experience, in this service.

Now comes Karen Gibson and The Kingdom Choir singing the classic "Stand By Me," by Ben E. King, and once upon a time covered by John Lennon.
7:34 a.m.: The sermon
The Most Reverend Michael Curry performs a rousing address.

Bishop Curry is the first African American to preside over the Episcopal Church.

"There's power in love," he tells the couple, who are seated and holding hands.

"We were made by a power of love and our lives were meant to be lived with that love," he says.

Playing off the style of a classic American black preacher, he does an amazing, theatrical discourse on the power of love - to heal wounds, to end poverty, to guide government. On BBC, there are cutaways to the look on the prim and proper faces of royals.

As he closes, he says has to close, "we gotta get ya'll married."

"Well, that was forceful ...," says the BBC announcer.
Read the fiery sermon at the royal wedding 7:16 a.m.: Princess Diana's sister
The Lady Jane Fellowes, the late Princess Diana's older sister, reads a classic wedding passage from the Bible's Song of Solomon.

"Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away. Set me as a seal upon your heart, as seal upon your arm, for love is strong as death, passion fierce as the grave ..."

And some more bits about flashes of fire, a raging flame and unquenchable love.

Read more: Princess Diana won't be forgotten at the royal wedding. Her sons still mourn her death.
7:13 a.m.: "The Declarations"

The guests are standing and led in "The Declarations."

The Archbishop of Canterbury says:

"First, I am required to ask anyone present who knows a reason why these person may not lawfully marry, to declare it now."

This is always an awkward moment.

There is silence. Meghan Markle smiles.

Harry and Meghan also declare their love, and faithfulness - but these are not yet the coming vows.

7:07 a.m.: Markle walks down the aisle
The service begins with a musical fanfare by the State Trumpeters of the Household Cavalry. As Markle begins to process down the aisle, the orchestra plays George Frederick Handel's "Eternal Source of Life Divine," sung by soprano Elin Manahan Thomas.

7:03 a.m.: Inside the chapel
Markle's mother Doria Ragland has been seated. Harry and William are sitting side-by-side inside the chapel gate, Harry looking slightly nervous. The bridesmaids and page boys arrive, looking cute as heck.

Prince Charles and Duchess of Cornwell, Camilla Parker Bowles, enter the chapel.

Charles will walk Markle partway down the aisle.

7:00 a.m.: The reveal of the dress
Meghan Markle's wedding dress was designed by British designer Clare Waight Keller, the first female artistic director at the French fashion house Givenchy.

Markle and Keller worked closely together on the design, we are told.

The fashion house tweeted that the dress was "inspired by all 12 signs of the Zodiac, the Zodiac Signs collection features artisanally carved rings and earrings to convey the wearer's character."

Here's the verdict from Washington Post fashion critic Robin Givhan:

The dress isn't everything but it is a lot. And the Givenchy haute couture gown chosen by Meghan Markle for her marriage to Prince Harry told a story about contemporary romance, geopolitical history and the institution into which she has married. But mostly, most importantly, it offered a bit of insight into the bride herself.

The sleek white gown, with its six strategically placed seams, was stitched from a heavy silk with a subtle sheen. A simple bateau neckline gracefully framed her face. The body of the dress subtly outlined her waist and flowed into a full train. But what was most noticeable were all the things that the dress was not. It was not a Hollywood red carpet statement. It was not a Disney princess fantasy. It was not a mountain of camouflaging tulle and chiffon.

The dress was free of extravagant embellishments. It was not covered in yards of delicate lace. It did not have a single ruffle - no pearls or crystals. Its beauty was in its architectural lines and its confident restraint. It was a romantic dress, but one that suggested a clear-eyed understanding that a real-life romance is not the stuff of fairy tales. The dress was a backdrop; it was in service to the woman.

6:42 a.m.: Princes Harry and William arrive

The red-bearded Prince Harry marches in a happy gait toward the chapel's West Door, alongside his best man, his older brother and second in line to the throne, Prince William, Duke of Cambridge.

Both Harry and Will are wearing the uniforms of the Blues and Royals.

Bespoke, cut and sewn by hand, Harry's frock coat is made of blue doeskin, in a single breasted style, with figured braiding. He is wearing his Pilots' Wings and a medal honoring his service as an Apache helicopter pilot in Afghanistan.

Next up: the dress reveal. In the press room at Windsor, of course, we know what it is. But there are armed guards outside.
6:30 a.m.: Meghan Markle is on her way

Meghan Markle and her mum, Doria Ragland, have left nearby Cliveden House for the drive to Windsor Castle. The pair are being driven in a well-waxed vintage Rolls-Royce Phantom IV. Through the window, there's a glimpse of the dress. It is white. Details to follow. On her veiled head, Markle wears a diamond bandeau.
6:28 a.m.: Move over Princess Beatrice: There's a new hat queen in town.

One of the true delights of any British wedding is watching out for British hats. As expected, there has been some stiff competition on the streets of Windsor today. But this hat, which has a swan perched on top, stands out.

Debbie Hoover, from Amarillo, Tex., says she has always been "fascinated" by the royal family, and, for her 50th birthday, decided to take in the royal wedding festivities. She had heard that Queen Elizabeth II owned all of the swans in Britain, so searched for a swan hat online. "I was hoping it would get some attention," she says. "It sure has."
6:04 a.m.: Serena Williams primps
A couple hours before the wedding, tennis star Serena Williams posted photographs of herself on Instagram getting ready for the day - wrapped in a towel, having a facial.

She showed off the results a minute ago.
5:55 a.m.: Elton John is here
Elton John strolls by. It is rumored he may perform at one of the two receptions to follow the wedding service. (He sang "Candle in the Wind" at the funeral for Prince Harry's mother, Princess Diana.) Inside the chapel, the press pool cameras are lingering on the Clooneys, especially Amal, in a lemony gold dress and hat. Almost all the women are dressed in hats. The men are divided: some in suits, others in traditional morning coats with vests.
5:43 a.m.: Inside the castle walls

Scott Ross is a leader of the Royal Air Force cadets. He and his wife, Nicola, drove down from Scotland to take a seat on the castle lawn. They're among the 2,640 members of the public invited inside the walls. A 10-hour drive? "It's a once in a lifetime experience," Ross says. He notes that it will be a long time before Prince William and Catherine's little kids are old enough to wed.
5:30 a.m.: The Clooneys and the Beckhams
Just seeing the Clooneys now - the actor George, the human rights lawyer Amal - getting off the bus and walking to the chapel entrance. Right behind them are David and Victoria Beckham, the soccer star and his former Spice Girl.
5:05 a.m. The rings
Kensington Palace just told us hacks:

Harry and Meghan chose Cleave and Company to make their wedding rings. Markle's ring "has been fashioned from a piece of Welsh Gold, gifted by Her Majesty The Queen. Prince Harry's ring will be a Platinum Band with a textured finish."
4:58 a.m. Prayer for the day
The Church of England has let us know the special prayer for the day:

God of love,

send your blessings upon Harry and Meghan,

and all who are joined in marriage,

that, rejoicing in your will

and continuing under your protection,

they may both live and grow

in your love all their days,

through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen.
4:47 a.m.: Oprah makes her entrance.
Among the guests now entering the chapel is global media personalty Oprah Winfrey.

Oprah is wearing lilac dress with sunglasses and a large hat. She is seated in the A-list section in the chapel's quire.
4:39 a.m.: The scene at St. George's Chapel

You say "chapel," you may think small, intimate. But St George's Chapel, completed by Henry VIII in 1528, is a soaring masterpiece - of what we are told is a classic of the "perpendicular gothic" style. The Washington Post and colleagues were given a quick peek insider for "atmospherics." The floral arrangements are a wild meadow of aromatic whites: mayflowers and dusky cranebills. The towering arrangements were designed by the florist Philippa Craddock as a "cascading hedgerow." Smells heavenly.
4:18 a.m.: Does this woman look like Meghan Markle?

That's what one person thought. He approached Layla Morris, 38, who works in credit control, and asked if she was the actress from "Suits." As a fan of "Suits," herself, Morris was amused. "I watched all of Suits. Meghan stood out. She as the girl you wanted to be," she says.

She lives 90 minutes away and brought her children, 7 and 3, to Windsor to soak up the atmosphere. "They are very excited, but can't understand why they are not invited."
4:08 a.m.: Not everyone is royal wedding mad
Let's be clear: Much of this city is royal wedding crazy. The dogs are wearing Union Jack-themed scarves, for heaven's sake. But venture off the main streets around Windsor Castle, and you'll find residents whose thoughts on the wedding can best be described as meh.

"It's just another day. I don't see what all the fuss is about," says Leon Johnson, 34, a gas engineer who is pushing a buggy near water fountains that barefoot children were gleefully running through.

He wishes the royal couple well, for sure, and says that Markle's background "broke the mold" of what it meant to be a royal. (She's a biracial American divorcée with an established career.) But he says that the vendors selling royal souvenirs on the main streets around the castle are "a moneymaking scam."

Will he least turn on the telly to catch a glimpse of the global spectacle on his doorstep?

He might "take a little peak," he says, but stresses he wouldn't linger long. "There is football on!"

Today is the FA Cup final, with Chelsea playing Manchester United at Wembley Stadium in London.
4:03 a.m.: "It means a lot in terms of race relations"

Marzy Bedford-Billinghurst, 60, an American who grew up in Britain and now lives in Washington, says that once she heard about the wedding, as a black woman who has biracial children, she decided she had to come.

"It means a lot in terms of race relations," she says. That the fact that the royal family, "of all entities, would modernize themselves and embrace this woman of color because the prince loves her - that just means so much to me. I'm just overjoyed. I think she's just wonderful, fabulous and I'm just so excited."
3:52 a.m.: It's five o'clock somewhere

Craig Skinner, 28, (left) and Alex Cox, 28, (right) are sipping gin and tonics. When asked what they are drinking, Cox responds: "Want one?"

This is Cox's second royal wedding, but the first one he's watching from the ground. At William and Kate's wedding in 2011, he was one of those riding a horse as part of the Household Cavalry, a personal escort for the royal family. "It's a lot of pressure, a lot of stress," he said, noting this time he is happy to just enjoy "all the good British pomp and ceremony" as a spectator.
3:46 a.m.: The scene from sun-kissed Windsor
Windsor is a gorgeous city, with Windsor Castle, the queen's weekend residence, towering dramatically over the scene. Today, the sun-kissed city looks something like a festival: There are bubble machines, dogs wearing scarves, people of all ages wearing fake crowns. Many people camped out overnight to get the best view of the carriage procession.

Street vendors are hawking British flags and American flags. There are ladies with ridiculously fabulous hats that look like small UFOs. The local Marks & Spencer has (temporarily?) changed its name to Markle & Sparkle. A local pub has permanently changed its name to the "Prince Harry." If Harry & Meghan-themed merchandise is your thing - everything from tea-towels to life-size cardboard cutouts of the smiling couple - this is the place to be.
3:44 a.m.: Who has traveled farthest for this wedding?
Peter McFarlane, 52, a health aide from Australia could be a contender for that title. We have met people who have flown in from the United States, Canada and Jamaica, but McFarlane hopped on a "27-hour bloody flight" from Australia to be at - or nearish - the nuptials. He slept on the street on Friday night, where it was "bloody freezy, this bloody English summer," in hopes of keeping his prime position to see the carriage procession.

He wanted to come in person since, he figured, this was the last royal wedding for some time. "I had to make the effort," he said, waving Union Jack flags in each hand.
3:23 a.m.: Inside the castle walls

Harry and Meghan invited 2,640 "regular" folk to attend the wedding and watch from the gardens inside the Windsor Castle walls. These guests represent charities the couple, especially Harry, has supported over the years - like Surfers against Sewage, and environmental and veterans groups.

Alan Scott, 69, from Lincolnshire has been involved in British Scouting for 45 years. He and his partner set up lawn chairs outside St George's Chapel. "Splendid!" Scott said. "I think it's amazing that we are all invited."

Scott brought a picnic hamper of pork pies. "And some champagne," said his partner, Julie Frisby.
2:41 a.m.: Paper crowns and plastic tiaras
The streets of Windsor town are lined with Harry and Meghan fans, wearing paper crowns and plastic tiaras. Some have spent the night camped out.

Security is tight. Specialist squads of police hefting automatic rifles stand sentry by the statute of the late Queen Victoria outside the Henry VIII gate to Windsor Castle.

Vendors selling royal wedding "tat" - British slang for souvenirs - are doing brisk business.
2:30 a.m.: Welcome to our live coverage

You want regal pageantry, gilded spectacle, the royal Ascot Landau carriage pulled by a pair of father-and-son Windsor Grey horses? The Archbishop of Canterbury bedecked in his robes, the St. George's Chapel Choir belting out the choral anthems to the rafters? Then good morning to you.

Britain's Prince Harry is set to wed American actress Meghan Markle, and they'll be treating us to full-on fairy tale, complete with a pint-size prince and princess as page boy and bridesmaid.

Markle will be driven from Cliveden House manor to the medieval masterwork of St. George's Chapel, within the walls of Windsor Castle, where she will be warmly welcomed by a polite backdrop of 1,200 invited do-gooders from favored charities.

There will be the Reveal of the Dress. The Kensington Palace PR squad will blast the details. Then Prince Charles, Harry's father, will walk his future daughter-in-law down the aisle. (Markle's father, Thomas Markle, has been sidelined by heart problems and media-induced stress.)

Bishop Michael Curry, the first African American to preside over the Episcopal Church, is to deliver a sermon. Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby will lead the couple in vows from the Book of Common Prayer.

Immediately afterward, the couple, who will be known as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, will parade by carriage through the streets of Windsor town, where as many as 100,000 Brits and foreign visitors will be wearing outrageous hats and waving Union Jacks and the Stars and Stripes to celebrate the ultimate in special relationships: Harry's royal marriage to a California girl.

The Rolling Stones were at the forefront of the British Invasion of bands that became popular in the United States in 1964, and identified with the youthful and rebellious counterculture of the 1960s. Rooted in blues and early rock and roll, the group began a short period of musical experimentation in the mid-1960s that peaked with the psychedelic album Their Satanic Majesties Request (1967).

That means the new princess will remain fourth in line to the throne regardless of whether or not her parents go on to have another son.

Versions of the Act were adopted by all 16 Commonwealth realms over which the Royal Family reigns.

As the change in the law was not retrospective, meaning the Princess Royal remains behind her younger brothers the Duke of York and Duke of Wessex in the line of succession, the first members of the family to be affected by the move were the children of Lady Davina Lewis, whose father, the Duke of Gloucester is the Queen's first cousin.

Her son Tāne, who was born in 2012, is 29th in line to the throne while his sister Senna, born in 2010, is 28th.

By giving birth to a second child, the Duchess of Cambridge has now fulfilled her quasi-constitutional duty of providing an "heir and a spare".

Princess Charlotte is the first royal princess to be born within the direct line of succession since the Princess Royal in 1950, and is likely to one day inherit the title, which is traditionally given to the oldest daughter of the monarch.

As the child of a royal "spare," the Queen herself was thought unlikely to reign until her uncle, King Edward VIII, abdicated in favour of her father in 1936, whereupon he became King George VI and she the heir to the throne.

Here is how the line of succession will look from now on.

1. The Prince of Wales

Heir to the throne and the next king of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth Realms. The Prince of Wales, 66, already holds the record for the longest-serving heir apparent in British history, having been in the position since 1952. He will also be the oldest person to be crowned in British history when he eventually succeeds the Queen.

2. The Duke of Cambridge

(EPA/FRED DUFOUR)

As the eldest son of the heir, the Duke of Cambridge will one day succeed his father the Prince of Wales. At the age of 32, he may have 30 or so years to wait, if his father enjoys the longevity of other members of the Royal family.

3. Prince George

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's first-born son will one day be King George VII, meaning that anyone alive today is unlikely to see another Queen on the throne in their lifetime once Elizabeth II's reign is over.

4. Princess Charlotte

Prince George's sister is the "spare to the heir", and will face the same problems as Prince Harry and the Duke of York in trying to find the right role for themselves during a lifetime constrained by their royal title. She would only become queen if Prince George predeceased her without having any living children. Recent changes in the laws of succession mean the sex of the baby will be irrelevant to his or her place in the succession.

5. Prince Harry

(Max Mumby)

The all-action Prince has spent most of his life being the third in line to the throne, behind his brother Prince William, but has quickly found himself being bumped down to fifth, and could fall still further down the line of succession if the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have any more children.

6. The Duke of York

(PA)

Once second in line to the throne, Prince Andrew, 55, is now so far down the list that he is no longer part of the "core" Royal family that will share the burden of official engagements in the future. His daughters, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, are no longer entitled to police bodyguards, which now have to be funded by Prince Andrew.

7. Princess Beatrice

(Anthony Harvey/Getty Images)

Princess Beatrice has struggled desperately with the problem of how to combine a royal title with a need to find work. After quitting her £20,000-a-year job with Sony Entertainment Pictures in December, she treated herself to four holidays in the space of a little over a month - two in the Caribbean and two skiing in Verbier. The 26-year-old is expected to be back in work again soon.

8. Princess Eugenie

(Ian Jones)

The Duke of York's younger daughter, who is 25, shrewdly moved to New York to work as an auctions manager in 2014 after taking a degree in English Literature and History of Art at Newcastle University. She undertakes occasional public duties but her life in New York has given her a level of normality that other members of the Royal family often crave.

9. The Earl of Wessex

(Reuters)

Having failed to complete his Royal Marines commando training, the Earl, 50, became a case study in the pitfalls of trying to earn a living when your mother is the Queen. He organised the cringe-making Grand Knockout Tournament (better known as It's a Royal Knockout) in 1987, then carried on with his TV production career, but incurred the fury of his brother the Prince of Wales when a camera crew employed by him unwittingly broke the terms of an agreement to leave Prince William alone during his time at university. He is now a full-time working royal. His seven-year-old son Viscount Severn is 10th in line to the throne, with 11-year-old daughter Lady Louise Windsor 11th.

12. The Princess Royal

The Princess Royal with Zara and Mike Tindall (Eddie Mulholland/The Telegraph)

Because the 2011 law change on the succession did not apply retrospectively, the Princess Royal, 64, remains behind her three brothers in the line of succession despite being the Queen's second-born child.

Often described as the hardest-working member of the Royal family, she carries out hundreds of official engagements each year without receiving much coverage in the national media. Her son Peter Phillips, 37, is 13th in line, with his children Savannah, four, and three-year-old Isla 14th and 15th. The Princess's daughter Zara Tindall, 33, (pictured) is 16th in line, and her one-year-old daughter Mia is 17th.

Princ Hari i njegova verenica Megan Markl vratili su se helikopterom nazad u Englesku pošto su u Monaku, bogataškom poreznom raju, tokom novogodišnjih praznika 'uživali poput tajkuna', piše Daily Mail.
Princ Hari i Megan u Monako su došli 31. decembra i onde se družili s brojnim svetskim moćnicma, uključujući i princa Alberta i njegovu suprugu Šarlin koji su mladom paru udelili i pokoji savet o bračnom životu.

Inače, u ovo doba godine Monte Karlo je prepun bogataša i krunisanih glava. Putovanje princa Harija i Megan izvedeno je u tajnosti što je zahtevalo opsežne pripreme. Na primer, zajedno sa tri telohranitelja, putovali su ekonomskom klasom u kojoj su zakupili tri reda sedišta pored toaleta, kako bi imali privatnost. Kad su sleteli u Nicu, helikopterom su prebačeni u Monte Karlo gdje su proveli tek dva dana i dočekali Novu godinu.

Kako su posle ispričali neki putnici, Hari je tokom putovanja nosio obične farmerke i na glavi je imao kačket, a Megan je na glavi takođe imala crnu kapu i nosila minimalno šminke. U Nici su ih dočekali naoružani pripadnici granične policije i ispratili do helikoptera.

Inače, teško naoružana pratnja postala je obavezna kad su u pitanju članovi britanske kraljevske porodice, pogotovo posle poslednjih terorističkih napada i onoga što se još pre 20-ak godina u Francuskoj dogodilo Harijevoj majci.

Baš kao i Megan, i majka princa Alberta bila je glumica, velika holivudska zvezda Grejs Keli. Sam princ Albert oženio je bivšu olimpijsku prvakinju, plivačicu Šarline Vitstok.

- Šarlin i Megan sigurno imaju mnogo toga zajedničkog o čemu su mogle da razgovaraju - rekao je pouzdani zvor za Daily Mail - Megan bi iz Šarlininog iskustva mogla mnogo toga da nauči.

Kako se saznaje, Hari i Megan su Novu godinu dočekali u privatnoj rezidenciji na Francuskoj rivijeri. Vreme je bilo idealno, sunčano i toplo. Inače, ovim putovanjem u ekonomskoj klasi, princ Hari sledi primjer svoga brata Vilijama koji je takođe u nekoliko navrata viđen kako putuje ekonomskom klasom. Pretpostavlja se da je mladom paru ovaj odmor bio preko potreban pre nastavka priprema za vjenčanje u maju 2018.

Great British dishes

Nothing says “Sunday lunch” more than a roast with all the trimmings – and don’t hold back on the roast potatoes. Here in Great Britain we’re (quite rightly) very proud of our vast range of national dishes, so here’s a look at the best of British dishes.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Traditional British food / UK food is 'comfort food': heartwarming, filling and satisfying. Here are some typical foods and dishes from around the United Kingdom.

Traditional British food / UK food but also English 'modern' cuisine is becoming more popular these days. While most British people eat a lot of pasta, pizza and dishes influenced by Indian and Chinese cultures - like curries and stir fries - some of the old favourites are still on the menu, even if they're not eaten every day.

Top British foods / UK Food recipes and dishes you have to try

The Sunday roast - and all the trimmings
Once, most families in the UK would sit down together for a big roast lunch every Sunday. This doesn't happen so much now but the Sunday (or any other day of the week) roast is still a very popular meal. Beef, chicken, lamb, pork or, especially at Christmas, turkey is roasted in the oven. It's served with a selection of vegetables like roast potatoes, carrots, cabbage, roasted onions, Brussels sprouts, peas, as well as tiny sausages wrapped in bacon called 'pigs in blankets' and gravy made from the meat juices ('the trimmings').

Roast beef is traditionally accompanied with a peppery horseradish sauce, English mustard and Yorkshire pudding (a batter of eggs, flour and milk which rises up in the oven). Roast pork is often served with an apple sauce, while roast lamb tastes delicious with a mint sauce or redcurrant jelly.

The next day, people fry up the leftover vegetables to make 'bubble and squeak' and eat it with slices of the cold meat.

Fish 'n' chips
Brits have been eating fish and chips since the 19th century. This is street food, best eaten with the fingers, which used to be served wrapped in a piece of white paper and newspaper. These days the local chip shop or 'chippie' is more likely to hand it over in a polystyrene dish and with a little wooden fork. The fish, usually cod, haddock or plaice, is dipped in batter and deep-fried; the chips are cut thicker than French fries (more like American 'home fries') and deep fried twice: once to cook the potato; second to crisp up the outside. Eat sprinkled liberally with salt and malt vinegar, and as an accompaniment perhaps a pickled egg or onion, a giant pickled cucumber called a 'wally' or some curry sauce.

Puddings...
Most of the traditional desserts, puddings, 'sweets' or 'afters', as they're called in the UK, are not for those on a diet. In apple crumble, apples are covered with a crumbly flour, sugar and butter mixture and served with custard made from eggs, milk and vanilla. Bread and butter pudding is made from sliced bread interlaced with dried fruit and baked in custard. Spotted dick is a steamed suet pudding with dried fruit and served with custard. Trifle is a cold pudding made from layers of sherry-soaked sponge cake, fruit, custard and cream. Summer pudding is sliced bread layered with fruits, berries and fruit juice, and eaten with cream. Get the picture?
...and pies
There are so many different pies from around the UK: cottage pie (minced beef with a mashed potato topping), shepherd's pie (using lamb instead of beef), steak and kidney pie made with a suet-based (beef or mutton fat) pastry case, pork pie (famously made in Melton Mowbray) which is eaten cold, and the Cornish pasty - meat, potato and vegetables wrapped up in a semi-circular pastry case which is a meal in itself.

The fry up - or 'Full English' breakfast
No one in the UK would eat this breakfast every day but most people admit to indulging every now again. A 'fry up' may consist of fried or grilled bacon, a sausage or two, a fried egg, baked beans (tinned beans in a tomato sauce), grilled or fried tomatoes, a slice of fried bread (or toast), perhaps some slices of fried black pudding (sausage made from pig's blood), and fried mushrooms - eaten in any combination, with a dollop of either brown sauce or tomato ketchup on the side. Other traditional English breakfasts to try are smoked kippers, scrambled egg on toast, kedgeree (a rice and smoked haddock dish from the days of the British Raj) - or just a bowl of cornflakes and milk.

Haggis
Haggis is a traditional Scottish dish, which is always eaten on Burns Night, a celebration of Scotland's national poet Rabbie Burns, author of 'Auld Lang Syne' and the poem 'Address to the Haggis' which is recited at the start of Burns' Suppers on January 25th. A haggis is the stomach of a sheep (or an artificial casing) stuffed with a mixture of chopped sheep's heart, liver and lungs, oatmeal, onions, suet (fat), stock and seasoning. It's eaten with 'neeps and tatties' (boiled and mashed swede and potato) and washed down with a dram (glass) of Scottish whisky.

The British banger
Unlike European sausages, most British sausages ('bangers') are made from fresh meat rather than smoked or cured and then grilled, fried or baked. Sausages are usually made from casings filled with pork or beef and flavoured with herbs and spices and come in long 'links' or strings. The classic Cumberland sausage, originally from what is now Cumbria in the north of England, is a long, coiled sausage made from chopped pork, and seasoned with pepper. Chipolatas are thin sausages. Popular sausage dishes include 'toad in the hole' (sausages baked in a dish of batter) and 'bangers and mash' (sausages served with a pile of mashed potato and eaten with English mustard and/or an onion gravy).

Cheese
The two most famous British cheeses are Cheddar and Stilton. Cheddar takes its name from the West Country's Cheddar Gorge caves where it was once stored. It's a hard, yellow cheese with a nutty flavour and often enjoyed in sandwiches, grilled on toast or eaten with a hunk of bread, salad and chutney in pubs as a 'ploughman's lunch'. Stilton, on the other hand, is traditionally eaten after a formal meal with a glass of port. Made in north of England, it's a creamy pale cheese with blue veins radiating from the centre of its famous cylindrical shape. Other cheeses to look out for include the Welsh Caerphilly, Wensleydale, Red Leicester, Double Gloucester and Cornish Yarg.

Lancashire hotpot
This stew, which originated in the north west of England, is made from mutton or lamb and vegetables, topped with sliced potatoes. It's simple to prepare and cheap to make, but cooked long and slow so that the meat is succulent and tender, it tastes delicious. It's often eaten with pickled red cabbage or beetroot. Other similar stews are scouse from Liverpool, Irish stew from Ireland and cawl from Wales.

Cream tea
The cream tea is a teatime treat associated with the South West of England, especially Devon and Cornwall and served in cafes and tearooms all over. It consists of a pot of tea - Earl Grey in preference - drunk black with lemon or with a dash of milk, and scones. These are dense, bread-like cakes made from flour, butter and milk, served with strawberry or raspberry jam and clotted cream, a rich yellow cream with a crusty top. Simply cut the scone in half, spread it with jam and clotted cream - and enjoy.

London (/ˈlʌndən/ ( listen) LUN-dən) is the capital and most populous city of England and the United Kingdom.[7][8] Standing on the River Thames in the south east of the island of Great Britain, London has been a major settlement for two millennia. It was founded by the Romans, who named it Londinium.[9] London's ancient core, the City of London, largely retains its 1.12-square-mile (2.9 km²) medieval boundaries. Since at least the 19th century, "London" has also referred to the metropolis around this core, historically split between Middlesex, Essex, Surrey, Kent and Hertfordshire,[10][11][12] which today largely makes up Greater London,[13][14][note 1] a region governed by the Mayor of London and the London Assembly.[15][note 2][16]

10 Interesting Facts About the English Language that You Didn't Know | Grammarly Blog

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Did you know that enneacontakaienneagon is actually a word in the English language? (And you thought pronouncing supercalifragilisticexpialidocious was difficult?). In fact, the meaning of the word is just as bizarre as the word itself: it's a shape with ninety-nine sides.

Here's a tip: Want to make sure your writing always looks great? Grammarly can save you from misspellings, grammatical and punctuation mistakes, and other writing issues on all your favorite websites.

Compared to other languages, English may seem simple, but that is probably because most people don't realize it is full of crazy inventions, misinterpretations, mistakes, strange words, and needless words!

Let's take a look at ten interesting facts about the English language:

1 "I am" is the shortest complete sentence in the English language.

2 A pangram sentence is one that contains every letter in the language.

For example, the sentence "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" is a pangram.

3 Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious (*breath*) is NOT the longest word in English.

This extra long word (that approximately means "fantastic") was popularized by the movie Mary Poppins and was eventually added to the dictionary. What you probably didn't know is that there is a word that is longer-yes longer-than this one. Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis is a type of lung disease caused by inhaling ash and dust. Go ahead and try pronouncing that!

4 There are "ghost words" that mean nothing.

Believe it or not, there are some words that appeared in the dictionary because of printing errors. The nonexistent word "dord" appeared in the dictionary for eight years in the mid-20th century. It became known as a "ghost word."

5 The shortest, oldest, and most commonly used word is "I."

Medieval manuscripts reveal that some of the oldest words in English are "I," "we," "two," and "three." This makes "I" one of the shortest and oldest words in the English language. It is also the most commonly used word in English conversations.

6 A new word is added to the dictionary every two hours.

Between now and your next meal, a new word will be put into the dictionary. During the course of the year, almost 4,000 new words are added! So, the next time you try to catch the attention of the dissertation committee, try adding some new words to your project.

7 There's a name for words that we repeat often.

Words we always use even though they add no meaning or value to a sentence are called crutch words. For example, in the sentence "Then I was like, OMG, then like, he went there, and like..." it is pretty obvious that "like" is the crutch word. "Actually," "honestly," and "basically" are also commonly used as crutch words.

8 Swims will be swims even when turned upside down.

Such words are called ambigrams.

9 English is the language of the air.

This means that all pilots have to identify themselves and speak in English while flying, regardless of their origin.

10 Girl used to mean small boy or girl.

The word "girl" was not initially used to refer to a specific gender. It used to mean "child" or "young person" regardless of the gender.

Pictorial satirist William Hogarth pioneered Western sequential art, and political illustrations in this style are often referred to as "Hogarthian".[5] Following the work of Hogarth, political cartoonsdeveloped in England in the latter part of the 18th century under the direction of James Gillray. Regarded as being one of the two most influential cartoonists (the other being Hogarth), Gillray has been referred to as the father of the political cartoon, with his satirical work calling the king (George III), prime ministers and generals to account.[6]

English architecture begins with the architecture of the Anglo-Saxons. At least fifty surviving English churches are of Anglo-Saxon origin, although in some cases the Anglo-Saxon part is small and much-altered. All except one timber church are built of stone or brick, and in some cases show evidence of reused Roman work. The architectural character of Anglo-Saxon ecclesiastical buildings ranges from Coptic-influenced architecture in the early period, through Early Christian basilica influenced architecture, to (in the later Anglo-Saxon period) an architecture characterized by pilaster-strips, blank arcading, baluster shafts and triangular-headed openings. Almost no secular work remains above ground.

The physical geography of the UK varies greatly. England consists of mostly lowland terrain, with upland or mountainous terrain only found north-west of the Tees-Exe line. The upland areas include the Lake District, the Pennines, North York Moors, Exmoor and Dartmoor. The lowland areas are typically traversed by ranges of low hills, frequently composed of chalk, and flat plains. Scotland is the most mountainous country in the UK and its physical geography is distinguished by the Highland Boundary Fault which traverses the Scottish mainland from Helensburgh to Stonehaven. The faultline separates the two distinctively different regions of the Highlands to the north and west, and the Lowlands to the south and east. The Highlands are predominantly mountainous, containing the majority of Scotland's mountainous landscape, while the Lowlands contain flatter land, especially across the Central Lowlands, with upland and mountainous terrain located at the Southern Uplands. Wales is mostly mountainous, though south Wales is less mountainous than north and mid Wales. Northern Irelandconsists of mostly hilly landscape and its geography includes the Mourne Mountains as well as Lough Neagh, at 388 square kilometres (150 sq mi), the largest body of water in the UK.[11]

The overall geomorphology of the UK was shaped by a combination of forces including tectonics and climate change, in particular glaciationin northern and western areas.

The tallest mountain in the UK (and British Isles) is Ben Nevis, in the Grampian Mountains, Scotland. The longest river is the River Severnwhich flows from Wales into England. The largest lake by surface area is Lough Neagh in Northern Ireland, though Scotland's Loch Ness has

*The culture of the United Kingdom is influenced by the UK's history as a developed island country, a liberal democracy and a great power; its predominantly Christian religious life; and its composition of four countries—England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland—each of which has distinct customs, cultures and symbolism. The wider culture of Europe has also influenced British culture, and Humanism, Protestantism and representative democracy developed from broader Western culture.

Association football is organised on a separate basis in each of the four constituent countries that make up the United Kingdom (UK), with each having a national football association responsible for the overall management of football within their respective country. There is no United Kingdom national football team. Football has been the most popular sport in the UK since the 1860s. Rugby union, rugby league and cricket are other popular sports. They love football. Their best football teams are Chelsea,  Liverpool, Manchester United, Manchester City. Beckham is one of the biggest football legends.*

See also: Geology of Great Britain and Geology of IrelandThe geology of the UK is complex and diverse, a result of it being subject to a variety of plate tectonic processes over a very extended period of time. Changing latitude and sea levels have been important factors in the nature of sedimentary sequences, whilst successive continental collisions have affected its geological structure with major faulting and folding being a legacy of each orogeny (mountain-building period), often associated with volcanic activity and the metamorphism of existing rock sequences. As a result of this eventful geological history, the UK shows a rich variety of landscapes.[12]PrecambrianThe oldest rocks in the British Isles are the Lewisian gneisses, metamorphic rocks found in the far north west of Scotland and in the Hebrides (with a few small outcrops elsewhere), which date from at least 2,700 Ma (Ma = million years ago). South and east of the gneisses are a complex mixture of rocks forming the North West Highlands and Grampian Highlands in Scotland. These are essentially the remains of folded sedimentary rocks that were deposited between 1,000 Ma and 670 Ma over the gneiss on what was then the floor of the Iapetus Ocean.PalaeozoicAt 520 Ma, what is now Great Britain was split between two continents; the north of Scotland was located on the continent of Laurentia at about 20° south of the equator, while the rest of the country was on the continent of Gondwana near the Antarctic Circle. In Gondwana, England and Wales were largely submerged under a shallow sea studded with volcanic islands. The remains of these islands underlie much of central England with small outcrops visible in many places.About 500 Ma southern Britain, the east coast of North America and south-east Newfoundland broke away from Gondwana to form the continent of Avalonia, which by 440 Ma had drifted to about 30° south. During this period north Wales was subject to volcanic activity. The remains of these volcanoes are still visible, one example of which is Rhobell Fawr dating from 510 Ma. Large quantities of volcanic lava and ash known as the Borrowdale Volcanics covered the Lake District and this can still be seen in the form of mountains such as Helvellyn and Scafell Pike.Between 425 and 400 Ma Avalonia had joined with the continent of Baltica, and the combined landmass collided with Laurentia at about 20° south, joining the southern and northern halves of Great Britain together. The resulting Caledonian Orogeny produced an Alpine-style mountain range in much of north and west Britain.The collision between continents continued during the Devonian period, producing uplift and subsequent erosion, resulting in the deposition of numerous sedimentary rock layers in lowlands and seas. The Old Red Sandstone and the contemporary volcanics and marine sediments found in Devon originated from these processes.Around 360 Ma Great Britain was lying at the equator, covered by the warm shallow waters of the Rheic Ocean, during which time the Carboniferous Limestone was deposited, as found in the Mendip Hills and the Peak District of Derbyshire. Later, river deltas formed and the sediments deposited were colonised by swamps and rain forest. It was in this environment that the Coal Measures were formed, the source of the majority of Britain's extensive coal reserves.Around 280 Ma the Variscan orogeny mountain-building period occurred, again due to collision of continental plates, causing major deformation in south west England. The general region of Variscan folding was south of an east–west line roughly from south Pembrokeshire to Kent. Towards the end of this period granite was formed beneath the overlying rocks of Devon and Cornwall, now exposed at Dartmoor and Bodmin Moor.By the end of the Carboniferous period the various continents of the Earth had fused to form the super-continent of Pangaea. Britain was located in the interior of Pangea where it was subject to a hot arid desert climate with frequent flash floods leaving deposits that formed beds of red sedimentary rock.MesozoicAs Pangaea drifted during the Triassic, Great Britain moved away from the equator until it was between 20° and 30° north. The remnants of the Variscan uplands in France to the south were eroded down, resulting in layers of the New Red Sandstone being deposited across central England.Pangaea began to break up at the start of the Jurassic period. Sea levels rose and Britain drifted on the Eurasian Plate to between 31° and 40° north. Much Britain was under water again, and sedimentary rocks were deposited and can now be found underlying much of England from the Cleveland Hills of Yorkshire to the Jurassic Coast in Dorset. These include sandstones, greensands, oolitic limestone of the Cotswold Hills, corallian limestone of the Vale of White Horse and the Isle of Portland. The burial of algae and bacteria below the mud of the sea floor during this time resulted in the formation of North Sea oil and natural gas

Much Britain was under water again, and sedimentary rocks were deposited and can now be found underlying much of England from the Cleveland Hills of Yorkshire to the Jurassic Coast in Dorset. These include sandstones, greensands, oolitic limestone of the Cotswold Hills, corallian limestone of the Vale of White Horse and the Isle of Portland. The burial of algae and bacteria below the mud of the sea floor during this time resulted in the formation of North Sea oil and natural gas

For those interested in ancient history, there’s world famous Stonehenge and Maiden Castle, not to mention the hundreds of Roman remains scattered across the land. For those more interested in the little-known Dark Ages there are a handful of Anglo-Saxon and Viking sites to visit, although unfortunately only earthworks and the occasional church still remain.

Historical sites are perfect for great days out with the family. Fortunately for history lovers, Britain is littered with a huge selection to choose from, but it does make it rather difficult to decide where to visit first!

So we asked around the Historic UK office and came up with our 'Top Ten': see if you agree!

In no particular order:

1. Stonehenge, Wiltshire

After 5,000 years the ancient stone circle of Stonehenge is still a unique and awe-inspiring day out with the kids or family; an exceptional survivor from a culture now lost to us. The monument evolved between 3,000 BC and 1,600 BC and is aligned with the rising and setting of the sun at the solstices, but its exact purpose remains a mystery.

2. The Tower of London

Home to the Crown Jewels, Yeoman Warders (known to you and I as 'Beefeaters') and the legendary ravens, The Tower of London has lots to offer for a day out for the kids or family. Her Royal Majesty's Palace and Fortress of the Tower of London, to give it its full title, was founded just after the Norman Conquest in 1066. The White Tower in the centre of the fortress was built by William the Conqueror in 1078. Used as a prison since the 12th century, the Tower has played an important part in the history of England.

3. Warwick Castle

Another castle built by William the Conqueror, this time in 1068, Warwick was later remodelled in stone in the 12th century. Warwick Castle was home to the powerful Earls of Warwick, including Richard Neville, 16th Earl of Warwick, nicknamed 'The Kingmaker' for his role during the Wars of the Roses. Over the centuries several of the Earls of Warwick met untimely and violent deaths, including one executed for high treason in the Tower of London!

At Warwick Castle you can immerse yourself in a thousand years of jaw-dropping history - come rain or shine. Now owned by Merlin Entertainments, the castle boasts life-size tableaux, stunning interiors, the Castle Dungeon and much, much more. And you can even spend the night here!

4. Stratford-Upon-Avon, Warwickshire

Also situated in Warwickshire - just down the road, actually - is the picturesque riverside town of Stratford-Upon-Avon, which would be a tourist destination in its own right even if it wasn't for the fact that a certain Elizabethan playwright was born there! The birthplace of William Shakespeare attracts hundreds of thousands of tourists every year from all around the globe. Among the town's many attractions, you can visit Shakespeare's Birthplace (pictured above); New Place where he died in 1616; the church where he is buried; Ann Hathaway's Cottage and his mother Mary Arden's house just outside the town. And no visit would be complete without attending a Royal Shakespeare Company production at the famous Theatre on the banks of the River Avon.

4. Leeds Castle, Kent

'The loveliest Castle in the world'. Bring the whole family for a day out to Leeds Castle with your Key to the Castle ticket and journey through 900 years of captivating history. Open all year round, there is something for everyone to enjoy. Why not prolong your visit with a B&B overnight stay in the Stable Courtyard Bedrooms?

5. St Paul's Cathedral, London

This famous dome dominates London's skyline, and is England's architectural masterpiece and place of national celebration. The present cathedral was designed and built by Sir Christopher Wren and competed in 1710 but a cathedral has stood on this site since 604AD.

7. Edinburgh Castle, Scotland

This historic fortress, set high on the volcanic crag known as Castle Rock, towers above the capital city of Scotland. A favourite tourist destination, Edinburgh Castle is home to the Scottish Crown Jewels ( the Honours of Scotland). Since 1996, it has also been home to the Stone of Destiny, following its return to Scotland from Westminster.

8. Caernarfon Castle, Wales

Built by King Edward I in the 13th century, Caernarfon Castle boasts a magnificent 13 towers and is one of the most impressive medieval fortresses in Britain. This massive castle is superbly situated, with the River Seiont and the Menai Strait on two sides forming perfect natural defenses. In 1969, Caernarfon Castle was the setting for the Investiture of the Prince of Wales.

9. Hadrian's Wall

In around AD122, the Roman Emperor Hadrian ordered the building of an immense wall stretching over 80 Roman miles from the east coast of Britain to the west. This impressive structure was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987...

10. Fountains Abbey, North Yorkshire

Fountains Abbey is one of the largest and best preserved ruined monasteries in England. Founded in 1132, it enjoys a stunning situation in a tranquil valley beside a river. Although a victim of the Dissolution of the Monasteries, the abbey church survives almost to full height.
