Big Ben and David Attenborough are among the most iconic people and landmarks according to Brits

Bohemian Rhapsody and Big Ben topped their respective categories.

The Queen was voted the top national treasure by 39 per cent of the 2000 people polled, with David Attenborough coming in a close second with 27 per cent of the vote.

Somewhat ironically, The Italian Job was voted the most iconic British film, with Chariots of Fire coming in second and Monty Python's Life of Brian following closely behind.

Stonehenge and Buckingham Palace were beaten by Big Ben in the iconic landmarks category, while Vivienne Westwood won out in the iconic fashion designers category, pipping Burberry and Stella McCartney to the top spot. 

The Brits' love of tea was also reflected in the poll, as "Want a cuppa?" was voted the top catchphrase. Politeness and alcohol - two other things the British are known to be fond of - also made an appearance, with "Cheers" and "Going for a pint" making the list as well.

It was almost a tie between a Sunday roast and fish and chips for the top spot in the food stakes. The Brits’ love of tea was also reflected in the poll

But the former triumphed with 38 per cent of the vote as opposed to the seaside special's close 36 per cent in the survey commissioned to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Fab ice lolly.

Food historian Lyndon Gee commented that 1967 was a particularly notable decade for British icons, with The Beatles releasing Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, Radio 1 launching and the first colour television becoming available.
