What is the culture of the United Kingdom?

British culture is influenced by the combined nations’ history; its historically Christian religious life, its interaction with the cultures of Europe, the traditions of England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland and the impact of the British Empire.
Humour, tradition, and good manners are characteristics commonly associated with being English. The secretary of state for digital, culture, media and sport is the government minister responsible for the cultural life of England.
British culture has its roots in the United Kingdom’s rich history, the people and the four countries — England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland — that it’s made up of each with their own unique traditions and customs.
English culture frequently gets associated with copious amounts of tea drinking, the British Royal family and good manners. However, English culture goes far deeper than these internationally recognised hallmarks and is evolving all the time.
