I am proud to be British for all the reasons given above.
We are so lucky to be able to live without fear - either of our fellow men or of natural disasters which rarely reach these shores.
We are so lucky to live among people who are, generally, polite and pleasant. Some of the rudest people I met were, ironically, in the queue to enter St Peter's in Rome. Shocking behaviour by people of all nationalities, shamelessly pushing in and then looking blankly at anyone who remonstrated, or shouting back at them and refusing to move to the end of the queue.
We are so lucky to have plenty to eat - and plenty of variety to choose from; to have a temperate climate which makes our country so beautiful and colourful; to have a justice system that is not corrupt; to have free schooling; and yes to have a good NHS.
To feel, on the whole, safe.
I have travelled quite a lot, but whenever I come home I look at our country with new eyes, every time, and know I wouldn't want to live anywhere else.
