Last year was a big year for us on the live team.

We covered the UK and US elections, and have closely followed news about global conflicts and disasters from our newsroom in London.

But we had some fun, too, covering events like Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour, Glastonbury and many (so many!) awards shows.

There were some stand-out moments for our team. Who could forget when military horses went on the loose in London? We went viral for a post in our live page about what we knew about the incident, because we didn’t know much.

We are already planning for next year - and it seems to be shaping up as another busy one. So from us, thank you for following our pages. It’s been a pleasure to bring you the news.

Happy new year.

We're pausing our coverage of new year celebrations around the globe. Thanks for sticking with us as we welcomed in 2025.
