England football team's thrilling run in European Championship helps 'Euros' to top Google's list of most-searched words this year

Google has revealed its most searched for term in the UK this year was 'Euros', following the England team's run to the final in July.

Football dominated the search engine's 2021 list, with 'Premier League' and the Danish player Christian Eriksen, who collapsed on the pitch during the tournament, coming next.

The first pandemic-related search, 'Covid vaccine', came in fourth while Jackie Weaver, made a surprise entry on the list of most searched for political figures. Handforth Parish Council's finest came eighth on the list after featuring in a hostile Zoom meeting that went viral.
