Dual nationality
In general there is no restriction, in UK law, on a British national being a citizen of another country as well. So, if you get another nationality, you will not lose your British nationality. Similarly, you will not need to give up any other nationality when you become British. The Home Office provides more detailed information.

Citizenship ceremonies and the Life in the UK Test
To celebrate the occasion of becoming a British citizen, the government has recently introduced new citizenship ceremonies. The Home Office provides information on the ceremony.
There is a website that describes the Life in the UK Test that many new British citizens will take. It gives information about who the test is for and how to prepare for the test.
