Some of Manchester's most inspirational citizens have been honoured at a star-studded bash. The Pride of Manchester Awards took place at the Kimpton hotel on Tuesday night and saw the great and good of the city turn-out in droves to applaud this year's special award nominees.
Held by the Manchester Evening News, the glittering ceremony was attended by some of Manchester's biggest stars - including famous faces from the worlds of music, sport and TV. The event kicked off with a glitzy red carpet ceremony, which saw Spice Girl Mel B, The Mayor of Greater Manchester Andy Burnham and Fleur East among the many stars present.
They were joined by this year's inspiring winners, who all had their moment to shine and be rewarded for all their hard work. Host Kym Marsh stunned in a long-sleeved blue dress and silver shimmering clutch and shoes. She said it was “so good to be back” with this year’s “inspirational” winners. “It’s wonderful to be back celebrating,” she told the Manchester Evening News on the red carpet.
