The Queen used to be labelled by many as ‘the most famous woman in the world’, not by some I know.

Not sure about the most famous man.

Who would you define as either nowadays?

The issue is, we’re talking about the whole world, not just the UK, or Christians, or Chinese people. What’s important to us isn’t noticed by people elsewhere in the world, so it’s going to be somebody that ‘speaks to’ everybody, not an iconic religious or world leader type person. Fifty years ago I would have said Elvis would be a very good guess.

Elvis is an extremely good shout.
At one time Madonna was globally well known in the same type of way.
Ooh, and Michael Jackson

There’s really no need to apologise 3nanny6, your admiration for Doreen Lawrence is laudable, even though you haven’t addressed the opening post
