Tears were shed and smiles beamed at last night’s glittering Pride of Manchester Awards.
Held in one of the city’s iconic buildings, the Kimpton Clocktower Hotel on Oxford Street, stars and unsung heroes mingled as the best of the second city were celebrated. The ceremony brought together football stars, soap icons, and TV royalty — all in the name of Manchester’s best.
From brave police heroes to those who showed extraordinary kindness in the wake of tragedy, and selfless mine-clearing engineers, plus a host of child fundraisers, every aspect of the good in people was on show.
