THERE are many things that Worcester is famous for - from its iconic cathedral to the sauce which is known across the world.

We may not be a large city but some of Worcester's products, people and places have had a big impact to this day.

Here are just a few things that Worcester is famous for:

Worcestershire Sauce

GLORIOUS: Our world famous Lea & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce

Splashed on cheese on toast or into a Bloody Mary, Lea & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce is a firm favourite across the world.

Perhaps it is one of our biggest and best exports - and there has even been calls to give it protected status.

Lea & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce was first produced in the city in 1837 and it is still made here in Midland Road.

Worcester Cathedral stands proudly in the city centre and is a key landmark.

King John's tomb and Prince Arthur's Chantry can both be found near the High Altar.

English Civil War

HISTORY: The CommanderyHISTORY: The Commandery

Worcester had a central role in the English Civil War and was the scene for the deciding battle - the Battle of Worcester in 1651.

The Commandery in Sidbury is most famous for its use as Charles II's headquarters at the end of the English Civil War while King Charles House was where the king fled from after his defeat during the Battle of Worcester, the final battle of the English Civil War.

Sir Edward Elgar

ENIGMA: Sir Edward Elgar is Worcester's favourite son

Known as Worcestershire's favourite son, Sir Edward Elgar is arguably the most famous person to have lived in the city and its surrounding areas.

The son of a Worcester music dealer, the composer is celebrated internationally for pieces including  Pomp and Circumstance and Enigma Variations.

His birthplace in Lower Broadheath is now owned by the National Trust, there are plaques across the city and further afield marking places which were important to Elgar as well as the iconic statue on Worcester's High Street.
