Littler, 18, has now gone on to become the world champion and has already won a number of major honours.
As a result of his success despite his tender years, he has broken a number of Guinness World records.
He had been handed his certificates for becoming the youngest winner of the PDC World Darts Championship.
Littler was also handed a certificate for the highest average in a debut match at the tournament.
His third one was for becoming the youngest winner of a World Darts Championship match.
Littler was just 16 years and 333 days when he beat Christian Kist in his opening round.
A GWR statement read: "Youngest winner of the PDC World Darts Championship.
"Darts champion Luke 'The Nuke' Littler was just 17 years and 348 days old when he achieved this record on 3 January 2025 and was recently presented with his GWR certificate in Manchester, UK.
"Luke also holds records for the highest average in a PDC World Darts Championship debut match - 106.2 – and youngest person to win a match at the PDC World Darts Championship, when he was 16 years 333 days old."
Fans were left thrilled with Littler's accolades as they reacted on social media.

A fourth said: "That's gonna stand forever."
Another added: "The lad just keeps setting records."

At the event he was also the victim of vandalism as a window of his car was smashed by the "scum of the earth".
Littler will now be preparing for the final night of Premier League Darts.
The tour hits Sheffield tomorrow evening before the Play-Offs on May 29.

Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) CHRIS EUBANK JR'S brother Nathanial has called out Conor Benn's estranged brother to fight and settle their "unfinished business." Nathanael Wilson was the secret eldest child of British boxing legend Eubank Sr - but the two reconciled in 2017. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 Chris Eubank Jr with dad Sr and brother Nathanael Wilson 5 Nigel Benn with his sons Harley and Conor Wilson - who is now close with Eubank Jr and his cousin Harlem - has a professional boxing record of eight wins, two losses and one draw. Meanwhile Harley was born just days apart from his brother Conor and also had a rocky relationship with his dad Nigel. And Harley revealed he recently lost touch with brother Conor and his iconic former world champion father. Conor, 28, was beaten in April by Eubank Jr, 35, in their second generation grudge match at Tottenham.

Wilson, 36, took to Instagram to call out Harley with the message: "UNFINISHED BUSINESS!! The EUBANK BENN saga continues." Harley, 28, responded: "Okay you're serious let's get it cracking." Wilson has not fought since 2020 when he was stopped in three rounds by Stu Greener.

He was due to face 15-3 Joe Laws on KSI's undercard in March - but the Misfits co-founder pulled out through injury. Harley was in talks to fight Wilson in 2022 - when Eubank Jr was first due to face Benn. But Benn was pulled out after failing a drug test - until his doping case was later dropped. A rematch with Eubank Jr is already pencilled in with September 27 at Tottenham targeted. 5 Nathanael Wilson is Chris Eubank's eldest son Credit: Getty Images - Getty 5 Harley Benn is 9-2 as a boxer Credit: Reuters

The race saw over 100 competitors cycle ten laps of a five-mile circuit, which started and ended at Glasgow Green. However, it meant that several roads across the city were forced to close for 17 hours as a result. Many of the closures kicked in yesterday in preparation for the race and will be in place until 9pm tonight. But it had already caused chaos in the city so far, with queues of traffic spotted throughout the city centre. Bus lanes are also impacted with a suspension in place from 4am until 9pm today on several routes. Huge tailbacks stretching for miles were seen entering from Bothwell Street and heading along to Hope Street. There are also massive queues of cars on the Kingston Bridge as traffic continues to build up. This is also affecting traffic on the West Street off-ramp. Traffic Scotland took to social media to warn drivers about the long tailbacks. Drivers trapped in freezing conditions as motorway is CLOSED after collision They explained that the motorways don't seem to be too badly affected as of yet, but added there is heavy congestion around the city. Motorists have been urged to avoid the area if possible. The post reads: "A reminder the Women's Tour of Britain cycling event is taking place in Glasgow today until 5pm and may cause congestion. "So far, there's no major delays on the Motorways, but traffic is slow Eastbound over the Kingston Bridge and onto the West Street Off Ramp."
