Pride of Britain awards leave viewers humbled, emotional - and inspired
The annual celebration of the country's bravest and most dedicated people had us welling up - and vowing to appreciate what we have
On Tuesday night, ITV introduced us to some truly great Britons.
Hosted by Carol Vorderman, the Pride of Britain awards paid tribute to people who had displayed incredible bravery, dedication and selflessness, who had saved lives, been through terrible times but come back fighting, and inspired others – and it brought out some strong emotions in viewers...
It helped us get a sense of perspective, and appreciate what we have...
