Nearly a third of Britons – 29 per cent – believe that a guardian angel is always watching over them, according to research.
A slightly higher number – 31 per cent – admit they believe in angels, while one in 20 – or 5 per cent – say they have actually seen or heard one.
Just 17 per cent say they are not sure what to believe.
The North East scores the lowest, at 17 per cent.
People in the capital also score the highest for believing a guardian angel watches over them, at 37 per cent, compared with 22 per cent in Scotland and the North East.
The survey shows that 45 per cent of people interviewed from Oxford and 43 per cent of those from Hull believe they have a guardian angel.
This figure falls to 16 per cent for those in Edinburgh and Plymouth.
But researchers warn that the city results were based on small numbers – with only 17 people interviewed from Oxford, 19 from Hull, 39 from Edinburgh and 27 from Plymouth.
