My Year: my favourite photos and videos from 2025. These mark special moments and memories with family, friends, occasions or holidays. 2025 has been a brilliant year and 2026 can only improve on that.

Here’s to continued health, wealth, happiness, success, prosperity and love.

When do you put your #Christmas tree up? 🎄

[Benjamin Carpenter @BritishBC]

This can’t come quick enough. #Brexit was a lie and we have all been worse off for it. The sooner the UK rejoins and re-integrates with our closest allies the better. We both need each other in a fractured world 🇬🇧 🤝 🇪🇺

[Marcos Agustín @marcosagusstinn]

🇬🇧🇪🇺 Burnham is two weeks away from burying Brexit.

He will announce integration agreements worth £17 billion and says this is only the beginning.

The EU will offer Britain youth mobility, easier agricultural trade and cooperation on emissions trading.

Britain will be offered a path back to membership without an obligation to adopt the euro, guaranteeing victory in a referendum.

A powerful message to Eurosceptics elsewhere;

Europe’s strongest financial and technological power has taken just ten years to want to return.

A demonstration of the damage populism causes.

Thank you @HarlowCouncil for an amazing fireworks display and bringing the community together. Always a great night for Harlow. The display was outstanding. I got many great photos. Congratulations to all involved for another successful year!

Hello November! I hope it’s a good month for you all! The last stretch of the year is here, the third “‘ber” month. Christmas and New Year is fast approaching.

Where have the last 10 months gone, though? 2026 has flown by!

Happy #1stNovember everyone!

@Eurostar Thank you for your response! Very much appreciated 😁

Hi @Eurostar! Why has the App been removed from App Store? Many thanks!

It’s all or nothing with Spurs! A great win, though #COYS

Why did Shirley give a 6 but 7 came up on screen? Last minute change of mind? #StrictlyComeDancing #Strictly @bbcstrictly

This is absolutely sickening. Thoughts and prayers with the victims and their family and friends.

Someone needs to take Putin out and it needs to come within.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

A horrific Russian strike in the Kharkiv region. A “shahed” struck people directly – in a park near an ordinary café. Pure atrocity. Six people were killed, including children. A little girl was killed in a stroller – her name was Angelina, she was just over a year old, born in August 2025… Her mother’s name was Inna. She died in the hospital… Another girl who was killed was 11 years old. My condolences to their families and loved ones. Another 14 people were injured, including six more children.

I am grateful to everyone who supports Ukraine under these circumstances and helps us shoot down “shaheds,” shoot down missiles, and stop Russian assaults. These are horrific photos, but behind them are shattered lives and the truth about this war. Lives must be protected. Ukraine needs air defense. You can't think about making money with Russia as long as it continues its asinine war. We ask that sanctions on Russia stay in place as long as the killings continue. We ask America to be strong, and we ask it to apply the Lindsey Graham law. We ask Europe to continue its support. We ask that everything possible be done to bring peace and guarantee security. Ukraine wants peace. It is Russia that has insisted on continuing the killing all this time. The world has enough strength to stop the war. That strength must finally be used – against the murderers.

[Benjamin Carpenter @BritishBC]

@marty_mcfly_2 Agreed!

[Benjamin Carpenter @BritishBC]

Good. Nothing annoys me more.

🚨 NEW: The Government will announce £100 fines for those who vape on public transport next week

[Benjamin Carpenter @BritishBC]

@marty_mcfly_2 Agreed, but it’s absolutely disgusting. I know it’s hard to enforce but it needs to stop. I do not want to be breathing that crap in a confined space.

One week to go until the clocks go back! ⏰

@babelsolutions2 Excellent! 👌

Hello #langtwt! Is this group still alive?!

[Benjamin Carpenter @BritishBC]

@babelsolutions2 That’s a shame as I don’t use that. I hope everyone will return here!
