The UK’s most popular meme searches in 2021 have been revealed by Google.

Here are the top 10 memes people were looking for this year using the search engine.

1. Matt Hancock

Matt Hancock resigned as health secretary when leaked CCTV footage showed him kissing an aide, breaching social distancing rules he had helped to establish during the pandemic.

Memes shared on social media poked fun at his departure.

4. Hamster

In February, fans of singer Lana del Ray created a “cult” on TikTok that required prospective group members to change their avatars to a picture of her smiling, according to the Know Your Meme website.

The trend went viral and inspired a parody “hamster cult”, with members all using the same picture of the animal for their profiles.

5. Prince Philip

It seems that there is no subject too sensitive for a meme – not even the late Prince Philip, who died at the age of 99 in April.

6. It’s coming home

Chants of “football’s coming home” gained momentum as England reached the Euro 2020 final this summer – the team’s first tournament final since the 1966 World Cup.

The anthem is called “Three Lions” by David Baddiel, Frank Skinner and The Lightning Seeds and was originally recorded for Euro 96, which was held in England.
