British pride is alive and well in schools . . . and here are the doodles to prove it.
More than 15,000 kids aged four to 18 entered a contest to design a new logo for search engine Google that reflected their idea of Britishness.
And the results show they still cherish our rich culture and history.
Around 31 per cent included the monarchy, more than half used the Union Flag and 45 per cent included a famous figure from the past or a well-known monument — including a striking 33 per cent who drew Big Ben.
Just three per cent of entries featured a modern-day celebrity.
The winning image which includes Blackpool Tower, Edinburgh Castle and the Severn Bridge was chosen by an online poll.
It was designed by Katherine Chisnall, 13, of St Augustine’s College in Trowbridge, Wilts, who won a family holiday and laptop PC.
It will appear on Google’s UK site — google.co.uk — today for one day only, when it will be viewed by 20million people. You can see 30 of the entries HERE click on a thumbnail to enlarge
