London  - Queen Elizabeth II enjoys greater trust than any other public figure or politician in Britain, according to a survey published Friday.

The monarch, on the throne since 1952, is believed to keep her word by 53 per cent of the British public.

She comes far ahead of her son, the heir to the throne Prince Charles, who is trusted by only 31 per cent of the public.

Among musicians, Bob Geldof - organiser of the Live Aid and G8 campaigns for Africa - comes top, with 26 per cent trust.

A third of Britons believed no politicians were trustworthy. Of the remaining two-thirds, Conservative opposition leader David Cameron enjoys 21 per cent trust, with the Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, languishing on just 12 per cent. (dpa)
