  • Girls visit a Renaissance art exhibition at London's British Museum. Above them and between pillars is a giant poster called Head of a Woman (1470s) by Andrea del Verrocchio born Andrea di Michele di Francesco de' Cioni, an Italian sculptor, goldsmith  and painter who worked at the court of Lorenzo de' Medici in Florence. His pupils included Leonardo da Vinci, Pietro Perugino and Lorenzo di Credi, but he also influenced Michelangelo. The British Museum's collection of Italian Renaissance drawings is so fragile that its masterpieces are exhibited only once in a generation. About half of the works came from Florence in partnership with the Uffizi and sponsored by BP (British Petroleum). The 100 or so works span the period 1400-1510 by artists including Jacopo and Gentile Bellini, Botticelli, Filippo Lippi, Mantegna, Michelangelo and Raphael.

  • A VW camper van adorned with British union jack colours is parked on a campsite at Reedham on the Norfolk Broads. With late sun shining on its polished surfaces, we see a tent belonging to a camper at the site in East Anglia. Painted in the colours British flag, a theme of patriotic feeling by people summing up a great, traditional British summer and their love of the countryside. The Volkswagen Type 2, known officially, depending on body type as the Transporter, Kombi and Microbus, and informally as the Bus (US) or Camper (UK), is a panel van introduced in 1950 by German automaker Volkswagen as its second car model – following and initially deriving from Volkswagen's first model, the Type 1 (Beetle), it was given the factory designation Type 2.

  • A lone seagull circles above the British Union Jack Flag which flies in a stiff breeze, its colours of red-white and blue almost wholly horizontal as the wind tears through the blue skies and beneath thin, high clouds above Brighton East Sussex, England UK. Tied to its flag-pole, this symbol of patriotic nationalism, evokes a sense of pride and spirit the British are known for - having encouraged them through two world wars and more recently, other military campaigns. The colours (colors) of Scotland's blue and white crosses and the English cross of St. George are merged to make this well-known symbol of the British Isles.

  • Three young British Asians pose in the street to show their gangland signs in Southall, west London. "Throwing up" a gang sign (e.g., "Stacking," "walk") with the hands is one of the most known and obvious forms of "claiming." It is used in many situations where other identifiers may not be possible or appropriate, and it can also show that a gang member is in the area to "do business" as opposed to just passing through. Usually these signs are made by formation of the fingers on one or both hands to make some sort of symbol or letter.
