Britain is on its knees — copying the latest trendy pose sweeping the globe.

Fans of Tebowing have been bending on one knee and putting a hand to their head at sites including Buckingham Palace, Parliament, Abbey Road, Windsor Castle and Stonehenge.

It is named after the praying stance of Denver Broncos American Football star Tim Tebow (see the pic, right) and follows other "must-do" poses such as planking.

The term "To Tebow" has even entered the Urban Dictionary as: "To get down on a knee and start praying, even if everyone else around you is doing something completely different."

To take a good Tebowing photo, people are advised to kneel on the knee closest to the camera and place their elbow on their other knee.

They should then place their forehead against their hand on that arm, drop their other arm and pray.

The pose has been likened to that of Rodin’s famous sculpture The Thinker.

Quarterback Tebow, 24, is the son of Christian missionaries and he has previously written the names of Biblical verses on his face ahead of games.

He now kneels in prayer on the sidelines before and after NFL matches.

The new craze has seen his name rocket to the top of Google’s trending searches and Tebow tweeted "Love it!" as his trademark move went global. (The Sun)
