Leading figures during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I included Sir Francis Drake, Sir Walter Raleigh and William Shakespeare.
There are many types of people who can be classed as a New Elizabethan from DJ's, actors, fashion designers, pop stars, and even politicians.
To me, a New Elizabethan is someone who has had a significant impact on society during the reign of Queen Elizabeth II.

I think Richard Branson is a great figure of the Queens Reign as has a huge impact on society! Nearly every year since 1970 Branson has opened or achieved something new. He opened up a record store called Virgin Records which now holds more than 400 companies. The company gradually expanded to Virgin Megastores, Virgin Atlantic Airways and many more! He is currently the 4th richest man in the United Kingdom and one of the ten most influential people around the world. He even has his own island which he has named "Necker Island".

Anything is possible to Branson, he has visions only people could dream of and he wants to make them happen. He believes that in the future there will be hotels in space and he is currently working on his latest project, Virgin Galactic - a company which hopes to deliver space flights to people. These are my reasons why I think Richard Branson is one of the most influential people in the world, he takes the impossible and it becomes his mission to make it happen. In years to come, the world will have changed a lot and I believe it will be partly down to this man.
