Whether it’s how to change a lightbulb or who won the football,
Google is the go-to search engine for millions of people across the UK. 

Now, Google has revealed exactly which terms Britons were searching for in 2024. 

The tech giant’s Year in Search report highlights the top trending people,
entertainment, moments, and most-asked questions in the UK throughout the year. 

Luke Littler, the 17-year-old darts prodigy, tops the list as the
top trending ‘Athlete of the Year’, pipping Olympians and Top Premier League stars to
the post. 

Meanwhile, the search for Oasis tickets was a huge talking point, with ‘How
to get Oasis tickets’ revealed as one of the most-asked questions.  

‘2024 has been a year of comebacks, curiosity, and
community,’ said Matt Cooke from the Google News Initiative. 

‘Whether it’s fans reuniting for Oasis, young sports stars like Luke Littler making waves, or
Brits voting in everything from elections to Eurovision, these searches show a nation full of passion and interest. 

‘It’s amazing to see what captivated the UK, and it’s
always a privilege to highlight these moments in Google’s Year in Search.’

Google’s Year in Search report reveals the ‘trending’
searches for 2024. 

‘Top „trending“ queries for 2024 are the searches
that had a high spike in traffic over a sustained period in 2024 as compared to 2023, showing us what was „hot“ in 2024,’ it explained. 

Top sports searches of the year
From the Paris Olympic Games to England reaching the finals of the
Euros, it’s safe to say that 2024 was a huge year for sports. 

Several Olympians including Simone Biles and Adam Peaty were among the top athletes searched for, alongside footballers Jude
Bellingham, Ollie Watkins, and Cole Palmer. 

However, it was the 17-year-old darts prodigy, Luke Littler who topped the
athletes list. 

What’s more, Littler was the third most searched person overall, second only to
Kate Middleton and Donald Trump.  

Responding to the news, Littler said: ‘To be recognised in two of
Google’s Year in Search lists is a huge honour. 

This year, Oasis fans across the UK rushed to search for tickets online,
after the band announced their long-awaited reunion tour

Up the great staircase trooped the 2,500 guests, resplendent in tiaras and jewels or white tie and tails, to be greeted by their hostess, the Marchioness of Londonderry, glamorous in a clinging black satin Paris dress.
Either side of her impressive cleavage gleamed great swathes of diamonds.
Round her neck hung a heavy row of pearls that fell below her waist.

On her head was the largest of the Londonderry
tiaras, so big it was known in the family as ‘the fender’.

Beside her stood her handsome husband Charles, the seventh Marquess of Londonderry, and the Prime
Minister, Lloyd George. That November night in 1919 was Edith Londonderry’s first Eve of Parliament reception, a tradition that continued for 20-odd years.

Londonderry House, like many of London’s great houses, was built for
entertaining. In the 18th and 19th centuries, most aristocrats and others who
lived on their estates for much of the year had a town house to which they migrated for ‘the Season’ –
those summer months filled with balls and parties,
when débutantes were presented at court and launched into ‘society’
in the hope of making a splendid marriage.

The ballroom, Devonshire House

These houses were as magnificent as their owners could manage.
Built and decorated by the most talented of the age, they were sumptuously furnished – walls were hung with silk, damask and wonderful paintings
– and often embellished with marble statuary. The mustard-yellow drawing rooms of Londonderry House were filled with blue
Sèvres vases and gold plate; in the entrance
hall stood a Canova statue of Theseus and the Minotaur (now in the Victoria and Albert Museum).
Suites of rooms, with a ballroom at one end, could be flung open for entertaining.

Georgiana Cavendish (1757-1806), a lover of gambling –
and threesomes

Today most of these palatial mansions have been pulled down or turned
into blocks of flats. With their disappearance went their furnishings,
objets and paintings. But what their wonderful rooms looked like can be seen in London:
Lost Interiors, a book compiled from superb black-and-white photographs of these amazing houses, some of which belonged to aristocratic landowners, others to plutocrats or
society figures.

The drawing room, Grosvenor House

Most of the townhouses – those used for the Season rather than permanent residences –
were clustered round Park Lane, Mayfair or on Piccadilly, like
Devonshire House. Here once lived the fifth Duke of Devonshire and
his wife Georgiana (pronounced jaw-janer), whom he had married in 1774 when she was just 17.
She was a celebrated beauty who quickly became a leader of fashion, famous
for her towering hairstyles three feet high, decorated with birds, fruit, even ships in sail.
The couple spent 20 years in a ménage à trois with Lady Elizabeth Foster,
Georgiana’s close friend, who was also the Duke’s mistress.

Meanwhile, Georgiana’s gambling led to mounting debts:
on her death in 1806 they were found to be the equivalent of £4 million in today’s
money.

The rich, restless second Duke of Westminster, AKA Bendor, in his
20s

Another Park Lane mansion was Grosvenor House, belonging to
the dukes of Westminster and one of the largest in London, as befitted
the family’s status and wealth (their huge fortune came from their ownership of Mayfair).
Bendor, the blond and handsome second duke (1879-1953) was known as one of the
richest men in England, lavishing jewels on his mistresses, chief
among whom was Coco Chanel.

A restless soul, Bendor would arrive without
warning at any of his houses (or yachts). All were kept ready:
cars fuelled, silver polished, servants in livery. But after the
First World War, during which Grosvenor House had been requisitioned as a hospital, land prices had risen so high that even for Bendor it had become uneconomic and he sold it.

It was demolished in 1927 and the Grosvenor House Hotel was built on the site.

Designer Oliver Messel, Devonshire House, 1934

At the other end of the scale was 8 Pelham Place, the South
Kensington home of Cecil Beaton from 1940 to 1975. Superbly furnished by this brilliant photographer, it was
described loftily by the diarist Chips Channon (for whom the word ‘snob’ could have been invented – in his diaries he declares,
‘I am only really happy with royalty’) as ‘a tiny but super-attractive snuffbox
of a house’. Beaton, himself no social slouch, ran him close:
at his parties the women often wore stiletto heels, which pitted the floor, and later he would point them out, saying,
‘That’s Princess Marina, that’s Julie Andrews, that’s Vivien Leigh…’

French furnishings at 8 Pelham Place, the South Kensington home of Cecil Beaton

Beaton’s near neighbour in Pelham Place, until the mid-60s, was the great stage designer Oliver Messel.
When Messel’s nephew Tony Armstrong-Jones (later Lord Snowdon)
became engaged to Princess Margaret, Messel laid on a lunch, asking the Princess
if there was anyone she would particularly like to meet.
She said she had always greatly admired the witty cabaret star Bea Lillie and so Messel invited her.

What none of them knew was that Bea Lillie had a drinking habit.
At the end of lunch she slid quietly under the table and
was carried upstairs to sleep it off. Tony
and the Princess took their leave and Messel rushed back to his studio, where he was busy with fittings for
Elizabeth Taylor, only to be interrupted by a telephone call.

‘It’s Kensington Police Station here,
Mr Messel,’ said the voice at the other end.
‘We thought you ought to know that there’s a
naked woman on your balcony, throwing bottles at everyone who passes by.’

Among the last of these fascinating residences
to survive was the aforementioned Londonderry House. Throughout the
20s and 30s it had seen receptions and balls,
hosted by the Londonderrys for their four daughters and two granddaughters.
When eventually it had to go, in July 1962, a farewell party for 300 was given by Alastair, the 9th Marquess.
Live sounds were supplied by a blues band featuring a swaggering
young Mick Jagger, no less – presaging the
rise of a whole new swinging London generation.
