David Beckham has reflected on an "unforgettable year" in 2024 as he broke his silence after being snubbed for a knighthood again. The former footballer was missing from the New Year's honours list again seven years after he famously savaged the committee for excluding him in a leaked email.
Pop stars Ellie Goulding, Jessie J, Celine Dion, Christina Aguilera and Ed Sheeran were among other famous faces reminiscing about the past 12 months and wishing fans a Happy New Year. Beckham marked the occasion with some photos of his family, beginning with one of him and wife Victoria kissing. In the Instagram post, the 49-year-old wrote: “Happy New Year from myself, my wife and my amazing kids… Thank you for an unforgettable year and I want to wish everyone a happy and healthy 2025. Love David x.”.
Victoria posted a video of the couple dancing and wrote: “My number one dancing partner, my everything. I love you so so much @davidbeckham.”. Elsewhere, singer Jessie J said her 2024 highlight was her son, Sky Safir Cornish Colman, whose birth she announced in May 2023.
In an Instagram post the 36-year-old wrote: “My 2024 highlight is easy. You. My boy.” She added: “My first full year of being your Mum. Watching you blossom this year has been the most magical thing to watch. You are hands down the highlight of my year and my life. I haven’t loved anything more than I love you my angel boy.”.
