<p>Nearly one in three Britons believe they have a guardian angel watching over them, according to a new survey.</p>
<p>Online research for the Bible Society and Christian Research into the views of 1,038 people has shown 31% believe in angels, with 17% saying they are not sure.</p>
<p>A further 5% &#8211; or one in 20 &#8211; told the ICM poll conducted last week that they believe they have seen or heard an angel, with 29% saying they think a guardian angel is watching over them.</p>
<p>The research shows the London region has the highest levels of belief in angels at 40%, with the North East scoring the lowest at 17%.</p>
<p>People in the London region also scored the highest for belief in a guardian angel watching over them, at 37%, compared to 22% in Scotland and the North East.</p>
<p>The survey shows 45% of those interviewed from Oxford and 43% of those from Hull said they believe they have a guardian angel, with this figure falling to 16% for those in Edinburgh and Plymouth.</p>
<p>But research organisers warned that the city results are based on small numbers &#8211; with just 17 people interviewed from Oxford, 19 from Hull, 39 from Edinburgh and 27 from Plymouth. Other findings show nearly four in five people, or 79%, believe Nativity plays should be performed in schools &#8211; with the 45 to 54 age group most supportive at 88%.</p>
<p>Canon Dr Ann Holt, Bible Society director of programme, said: &#8220;There is plenty of evidence that there are presences in this world beyond the human.</p>
<p>&#8220;The fact that a third of this country believes in angels is a sign of a spiritual need within many of us. An angel is God&#8217;s messenger and the Bible affirms this through the many appearances of angels in different forms.</p>
<p>&#8220;It is interesting that Tony Jordan, the writer of the BBC&#8217;s Nativity, has chosen to show the angel Gabriel, for example, in conventional human form.&#8221;</p>
