"The incredible Daily Mirror's Pride of Britain Awards showcase everything that is fantastic about the people of this country. They give us the opportunity to celebrate remarkable acts carried out by the great British public at a time when all we seem to hear about is what's going wrong with our society. This is a night to recognise those who have gone beyond the call of duty - and to remind ourselves why we should all be proud of Great Britain.
