Name: Elizabeth King
Age: 16

Title: British Traditions
Statement:   I based my Google logo on the theme of British traditions and royalty, as I think many of these have been forgotten. I used tartan and English tea and scones to represent some of these traditions. To make my doodle officially British, I included the British flag.
