Have been sitting here looking at today's VF for ages, just seems so obvious, but then my mind goes blank ... can someone help, please ....
"A famous gladiator ended his days in this Cathgolic country, which has given the thumbs up to radical change after a bitterly fought referendum. Under 12s will instantly recognise the knights on the ramparts of a tourist attraction in the south and bigger kids will party to top rappers at a free open air festival later this month. Name the country"

I can't get any further than the open air festival in June in Croatia? Am I barking up the wrong tree.

The pictures are: a picture of Jesus on a street hoarding, with the words "Krist" and "Divor" on the other bit of the poster (maybe a separate thing), a toy knight on a toy horse (probably miniature), a crowd of youngsters at a concert, all waving their hands up in the air< and a golden statue of an eagle with its wings spread.

TIA

Chox.

Malta, I think. They've just had a referendum.

Thanks so much for your help, I'll check it out. Cheers, Chox.

And the toy knight, my sources indicate, is Playmobil, manufactured in Malta.

...and could the eagle actually be the 'Maltese Falcon' ?
