Who are National Treasures these days?

[SiulaGrande]

DD has been adamant only the Queen and David Attenborough are national treasures. I beg to differ but am finding it hard to think of people! (I do have Covid though).

After bit more discussion, she's added Lenny Henry, and Maggie Smith "at a push". She's 12.

So who do you say are currently national treasures, personality-wise?

I missed that

Jackie Collins? Beyond the grave.

Ugh, not David Beckham or Gary Lineker please!

Ditto to lots of others, especially Maggie Smith, Judi Dench, Julie Walters, David Attenborough, Jo Brand.
Did anyone mention Dawn French?

And may I please add Victoria Wood to the RIP treasures?

Yes Victoria Wood 100%. Loved her.
