Participants in the poll chose between 15 postcards that they would send to their friend if they were in Britain. They selected numerous images ranging from London Eye to the red phone boxes. A red double-decker-bus and a stone castle were also among the most preferred. visuals The third most popular image was of Queen Elizabeth ІІ.
