What is Britain famous for? What famous people are there in the British Isles? 

Few countries can have produced as many World famous people as the British Isles. Mention many of these people throughout the world by surname only and the majority of people will be able to tell you something about them. Names such as Darwin, Dickens, Faraday, Raleigh, Wordsworth and of course Shakespeare should evoke a certain amount of pride in any British citizen.
