1 wrong also...the one of Anne Boleyn and Mary.
And I'm not even British. I think in some cases it was a matter of recognising a lot of rather iconic paintings.

You're probably a professional historian. When it comes to British history, you really know your stuff.

45/45 but to be honest choices given made them very easy

Well, it has taken nearly 55 mins. of my time (dicey, slow connection) BUT I HAVE SCORED 100%!

The script after the final score, tells me that I must be a professional historian - oops! no I'm not! TBH anyone scoring less than c. 75% on this very easy quiz should be chucked out (or re-educatated) as not-British!

That test should be made mandatory for anyone seeking asylum on our shores.

Totally agree, Jackdaw - at least before being afforded British citizenship. It is pretty basic.

100%. If they'd really had a photo of George Lloyd George I might not have recognised him, though.

Sorry jourdain - not meaning to cast aspersions - your post wasn't there when I posted I meant those who got one wrong

I am rather impressed to have got them all right.

Had to wonder for ages about Bowie and Mercury though - that was tough!!!!

100% for me but it was hardly a very challenging quiz was it ?I mean faced with a choice of Prince William and his grandfather wasn't too hard !

The quiz after that one is a little more difficult. You have to identify people from their death masks. I managed 84% but that included some guesses.
