As we welcome a fresh chapter in the United Kingdom with the coronation of King Charles III and Queen Camilla in 2023, let's come together to celebrate our nation's most inspiring individuals through the 100 Great Britons initiative!

With extraordinary figures from a wide range of fields, including musicians, composers, social reformers, activists, artists, writers, scientists, athletes, entrepreneurs, and business leaders, these remarkable people have truly touched our hearts and shaped British culture and history

In celebration of their incredible achievements, we warmly invite everyone across Britain to nominate individuals who have made a significant impact on our nation, deserving a spot among the 100 Great Britons.

Think about exceptional individuals like scientists Stephen Hawking, Alan Turing, Rosalind Franklin, and Ada Lovelace; musicians such as David Bowie, John Lennon, and Stormzy; activists including Paul Stephenson, David Attenborough, Doreen Lawrence, and Peter Tatchell; entrepreneurs like Sir Richard Branson, Dame Anita Roddick, and James Dyson; and influential political figures such as Sir Winston Churchill, Margaret Thatcher, Harold Wilson, and Aneurin “Nye” Bevan.

Our nation’s rich and diverse cultural heritage comes to life through the contributions of remarkable people from all walks of life. From the mesmerising art of Grayson Perry and Banksy to the culinary delights of Yotam Ottolenghi and Mary Berry, the awe-inspiring achievements of Lewis Hamilton and Mo Farah, and the groundbreaking innovations of visionary entrepreneurs, these Great Britons have truly enriched our society.

By inviting you, the public, to nominate and vote, we hope to create a list that genuinely reflects our society’s diverse and vibrant spirit. Nominations are open to individuals from all fields, both living and those who have passed away during King Charles III’s lifetime.

This is your chance to pay tribute to those who have inspired, challenged, and made you proud to be British.
