The earliest people to inhabit these islands were stone age hunter gatherers who could walk here from Europe, across the channel.

The Celts (the ancient Britons) came from Eastern Europe via Spain and occupied the whole country, creating farms and villages.

The Angles and Saxons came from Denmark and North Germany in the 600's. The Celts or British retreated westward to Cornwall, Wales and Cumbria.

The country was conquered by Norman French in 1066. These were the descendants of vikings who had settled in Normandy. Not many came to live here.

Since then there have been waves of Immigration of displaced people such as Huegenots from France, Jews from Europe, Asians from Uganda.

Following the colonial era they has been a large influx of West Indians, Indians, Hong Kong Chinese and Pakistanis looking for a better life.

Since Britain became part of the European Community there has been large scale immigration of Eastern Europeans seeking economic betterment.
