David Beckham breaks silence after knighthood snub with emotional new year post

After being denied a knighthood once more, David Beckham remarked on an “unforgettable year” in 2024 as he broke his silence.

Seven years after infamously vilifying the committee for excluding him in a leaked email, the former footballer was once more excluded from the New Year’s honours list.

Other famous faces reminiscing about the past year and wishing fans a Happy New Year included Ellie Goulding, Jessie J, Celine Dion, Christina Aguilera, and Ed Sheeran.

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. The most amazing thing to watch this year was witnessing your blossom. You are undoubtedly the highlight of my year and my life. I love you my angel boy more than I love you.

Dion, a singer from Canada who first showed up in public this year after being diagnosed with stiff person syndrome (SPS) in 2022, thanked fans for their “unwavering support.”

The 56-year-old closed the 1001 Seasons Of Elie Saab event in Saudi Arabia in November by performing from the Eiffel Tower during the Paris Olympics’ opening ceremony in July. I want to take a moment to thank you for your unwavering support as we wrap up another year together, she wrote in an online post.

Your devotion and joy inspires me daily. I wish you all a joyful holiday season filled with warmth, laughter, and cherished moments with loved ones. In the upcoming year, there are endless possibilities. Wishing you a wonderful New Year and a safe holiday!

Aguilera, a US pop star, addressed recent comments about her appearance in a video montage that included screenshots of online messages that read, “Did you just get younger? ” “and” I don’t think that’s her”.

No one else can control who you are, the 44-year-old singer wrote in the words of “No one else can dictate who you are.” No one deserves an explanation. No one is perfect, and I have learned enough to understand that nothing is easy. You will be judged by everyone. No matter WHAT you do. And/or what you don’t do. “

Sheeran, the singer behind Shape of You, teased that “he is very excited about” releasing something in 2025 by sharing a selection of photos with him on Instagram. Reflecting on the past year, the 33-year-old wrote:” 2024 was a year of touring, painting, travelling, fathering, recording and creating. Thank you for all the wonderful memories made this year.

Music star Goulding, who recently celebrated her 38th birthday, shared a video montage to Instagram and gave love to her” amazing son “and the” glorious women in my life”.

The singer, who announced her 2024 breakup with her husband Caspar Jopling, wrote in an Instagram post, “I find it odd that the most difficult times can exist at the same time as feeling the most alive. “
