Dan Snow asks people to post a pic that encapsulates Britain – and it went exactly as expected

What first springs to mind when you think of Britain?

The White Cliffs of Dover, the Lake District, thatched cottages and pubs that have served customers for over a thousand years.

Well, Dan Snow, in an attempt to summarise all that is great about this green and pleasant land, asked people to share images that could only be taken in this country.

The son of Jon Snow and keen historian does have a cheeky side, but even he couldn’t have predicted the outcome.

And while some people did send some lovely pictures, the overarching response was pretty bleak!

We’ve picked out the best of the reactions:
