‘Lord's Prayer better recognised than national anthem, Churchill or Shakespeare'
An extract from the Lord's Prayer was more recognisable to people than part of the British national anthem and one of Shakespeare's most famous works, polling has suggested. The prayer, also known as the Our Father, also appeared better known than a famous line from Star Wars, the words of wartime prime minister Winston Churchill and Liverpool football anthem You'll Never Walk Alone, according to the survey. Of just over 2,000 people across the UK asked last month – in polling commissioned by the Church of England – 80.3% correctly recognised the line 'Give us this day our daily bread' was from the ancient prayer. This came just ahead of Star Wars, with 79.9% recognising the line 'May the force be with you' came from the films. Of all those polled, 89% said they had heard of the Lord's Prayer or the Our Father, with 88% of those who identified themselves as having no religion still having heard of the prayer. When it came to other famous lines from history, 'To be or not to be' from Shakespeare's Hamlet play was recognised by just under three-quarters (73%) of respondents, while fewer than two thirds (63%) correctly matched the lines 'happy and glorious, long to reign over us' as being from Britain's national anthem, God Save The King. Around six in 10 (61%) respondents recognised the line 'Never in the field of human conflict, was so much owed by so many to so few' from Churchill's 1940 speech to MPs in Parliament. More than half (58%) recognised 'You'll never walk alone' as being from the song by Gerry and the Pacemakers, and is the adopted anthem for Liverpool football club. Least well-known of the seven extracts from famous works given were the lines 'It was the best of times, it was the worst of times' from Charles Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities, matched correctly by just 39% of people. The findings also showed that 16% of those surveyed said they had not heard of the national anthem lines, while 14% said they had not heard of the line 'You'll never walk alone'. The Archbishop of York, Stephen Cottrell, said the findings suggest the prayer remains a 'steady guide' and something which continues to 'resonate with people of all faiths and none'. Mr Cottrell is leading a 'tour' of events at churches and cathedrals across the north of England as part of his Faith In The North initiative, with a focus on the prayer. He said: 'These results reflect what we've been hearing across the north of England through our Faith In The North initiative, which invites people to explore the Lord's Prayer. 'Though ancient, its words continue to resonate with people of all faiths and none. 'In a world of shifting cultures and changing circumstances, the Lord's Prayer remains a steady guide – perhaps never more so than now. 'Lines like 'Give us this day our daily bread' speak powerfully to today's challenges, reminding us to seek sufficiency, not excess, and to consider what 'enough' truly means.' The polling comes ahead of the Thy Kingdom Come prayer movement finishing this Pentecost Sunday, with events taking place in churches across the globe. – Pollster Savanta interviewed 2,035 UK respondents online between May 23 and 26 and said data was weighted to be representative of the general public by age, gender, region and ethnicity.

Winter is coming for a redo, Westeros fanatics! Get ready to rewrite the ending of the hit HBO show inspired by George R.R. Martin's epic Game of Thrones saga—which left many very mad. Thanks to the recently announced Game of Thrones: War for Westeros, the fate of the Seven Kingdoms is in your hands. Watch the trailer from PlaySide Studios, who developed and published Game of Thrones: War for Westeros in collaboration with Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. The premium real-time strategy PC game will feature the likenesses of the HBO show's stars in re-enactment style game play. That means you can control even the most key plot moments—like deciding the fate of Jon Snow, who still knows nothing. Announced during Summer Game Fest, the title will release in 2026. In Game of Thrones: War for Westeros you'll take control of the Great Houses of Westeros in their dramatic infighting battles or command the Night King's forces.

Martin ever finishes The Winds of Winter.
