Sport in the United Kingdom plays an important role in the British culture.

 The United Kingdom has a long history of sport, there are a large number of sports such as Rugby, Golf, Tennis, badminton, cricket and the most popular one is association football. However, the structure of the UK sport usually appears irregular since each sport has created in its own individual way. Thus, sports have been played in different places and in different locations such as Scotland, Wales, North Ireland and England.  Therefore, the UK government has established lots of perfect facilities across the country and every area has own facilities. As a result of excellent facilities across the UK, Football game in the UK has been considering the most popular sport in the world and the majority of people are watching this game in different times. For example, the English International team one of the strong and excellent team on the world. In addition, the English football League System which known as Football pyramid, one of the famous system so far, because of some reasons which consisted of  amazing stadiums, global coaches, special schools to learn football and the high salary. All these advantages have led players to put target front of them and also players will be motivated to do all the best they can, the good example of that is David Beckham whose model role in the world. Hence, I will continue to present and describe one of the famous stadiums in the world which is Wembley Stadium in London and other stadium in the England, Manchester and off course the nice city Cardiff. Wembley has a capacity about 90,000, but for save and comfortable the capacity has reduced to 60,000. The stadium not only used for football but also for several sports such as Athletics, Rugby League and Union, Motor Racing and American football. Another popular stadium is called Twickenham which located in London as well. In addition, there is a popular one in Manchester which called Old Trafford with good capacity about 75, 957, as well as there is another one which located in different cities like Newcastle, Sunderland, Liverpool, Leicester and so forth. I would like to sum up that sport in the United Kingdom is really popular to British people across the whole UK, and everyone in the UK at least know even a little bit about different sports. Thus, it is so known and part of their life in particular Football and Rugby. I am really delighted to obtain such   information about it and also I am advising international students to visit some stadium such as Millennium stadium in Cardiff, which is actually one of famous stadium in the United Kingdom.

One of the unusual sports which is actually played in the United Kingdom included the 'Man versus Horse Marathon, a famous race in Wales that pits a man against a horse that combines a cross-country marathon race and an obstacle course; office depot jousting, which involves several teams of two players each, in which one player in a team sits in a chair and propels himself, while his teammate pushes the chair down the aisle of a store, dodging the rivals who attempt to hit each other with garden hoes. However, the unusual sport in the Great Jamahiriya is camel racing which is considering seasonal sport. That means this kind of sport has occurred every spring, but the participates must be men and not allowed for women to participate as well as the course distant about 10 KM and  ages requirement is upon 20 years old. The participates are from different cities and different location. Additionally, the winner rewards 10,000£ and car kind of Toyota Land cruiser.

The Monarchy in the United Kingdom.

The Monarchy is an ancient framework of government in the United Kingdom. In a monarchy, a king or queen is Head of State. A British monarchy is known as a constitutional monarchy. Thus, the Monarchy in the UK has long history which considered the oldest of all modern constitutional monarchies such as Norway, Belgium, the Netherland, Spain and Monaco. In the meantime, the current monarchy in the UK is Elizabeth II. She was born in 1926 in London (the great –great-granddaughter of Queen Victoria. After that she became Queen at the age of 25, when her father died, King George VI. In addition, it was crowned as a Queen on 2 Jun 1953 in Westminster Abbey, and she is the 40th monarch since William the conqueror.
Therefore, it is clear to conclude that the monarchy historically power in Britain has been rested since the medieval. Also Kings and queens succeed one another to the throne according to the laws of succession. A new monarchy accedes to the throne as soon as his or her predecessor dies. The oldest son of the current monarchy is the heir apparent with other close relatives said to be, say, second, third or fourth in line to the throne. Furthermore, if the oldest son is too young to reign, then a regent may take his place till he reaches a suitable age. There have been times in history when a pretender has laid claim to the throne, saying that it should rightfully belong to him, rather than to the person proclaimed king. In other words, he is trying to depose that king and to seize power for himself. His opponents would say that such a pretender is trying to usurp power. If he succeeds, then the person whose place he takes can be said to fall from power. A person who does not use power well can be said to abuse power.
