Instead, it is war time Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill who continues to
be seen as the ultimate hero and symbol of Britain
While 'The King' Elvis Presley is hailed as the second most
popular male hero, 'The Queen' – Elizabeth II – is numero uno to the over
fifties.
The
Hollywood queen who is increasingly displaying a regal persona - as
witnessed by the recent launch of a cruise liner - also ranks high.
Dame Helen Mirren is named overall fifth in the list of female heroines.
Attempting to analyse a set of results which give fresh insight into the minds
of young and old alike in 21st Century Britain, psychologist Donna

'heroine' seems to differ greatly."
"The majority of the top 10 women chosen, such as Diana, Princess of Wales and Amy Winehouse, seem to portray a
certain sense of vulnerability or have had to fight against some adversity in
their lives."
In Diana, Charles (and the monarchy!) had what money cannot buy. Period. The proof is in today's pudding.

I sooo agree.
