Britain's Queen Elizabeth was featured in a poll of inspirational British women. The monarch finished third in the survey of the top 10 positive role models for women, which was conducted by British bingo chain Mecca Bingo.

The 82-year-old royal was beaten to the top spot by Girls Aloud star and "The X Factor" judge Cheryl Cole. Last year, the 25-year-old singer topped the poll of the worst example set to British women.
