Best British moment in the last century revealed – what do you think topped the list?
TV’s Del Boy and Rodney becoming millionaires and England’s 1966 World Cup win are among the last century’s best British moments, a survey found.
Others include Captain Sir Tom Moore raising millions for charity, the birth of the NHS and the King’s Coronation.
Kylie and Jason’s 1987 Neighbours TV wedding and Tim and Dawn finally getting together in sitcom The Office in 2003 were also popular.
And for those with a longing for a brew, the end of tea rationing in 1952 was most important.
The list of amazing moments over the past 100 years has been compiled by Interflora to mark its 100th birthday.
And psychologists say taking a trip down memory lane to times we collectively celebrated like last year’s Euro final victory by the Lionesses is good for our souls.
Psychologist Dr Juliet Wakefield said: “Collectively remembering these moments has the power to connect us with our friends and families.”
“That sense of connection is powerful: it helps us feel less lonely and more supported. It can even make us live longer and healthier lives by helping us cope better with stress.
“I believe it benefits our mental and physical health because it allows us to cope better with everyday stresses and strains.”
Bethany Day, of Interflora, said: “To celebrate our hundredth birthday we wanted to take people on a trip down memory lane and look back at some of the beautiful and quite frankly unexpected moments that have brought us together over the past century.
“From historical milestones to moments that’ll go down in pop-culture history, every moment on our list has brought us together in admiration, hope, amazement or delight.
We can’t wait to see which moment the nation chooses as its favourite”.
