This is the year that half the world went out to vote. This is the year that Britons chose Keir Starmer, Americans chose Donald Trump and Syrians overthrew a hated and repressive regime. This is the year that war continued: in Gaza, in Ukraine, in Sudan, in Myanmar... This is the year that floods ravaged Spain, storms paralysed Britain — and politicians debated about whether humans are really to blame. This was a year of achievement too: of art, culture, science and music. Of heroism: in France's Gisele Pelicot, Gaza's doctors and many more. Of comedy: the £5m banana bought and eaten, the woman who married herself and then requested a divorce. Which stories will we remember in 10, 50 and 100 years time? It is up to you to decide.
