About Pride of Britain

The Daily Mirror Pride of Britain Awards with P&O Cruises have celebrated the nation's unsung heroes for more than 25 years.

Hosted by Carol Vorderman and Ashley Banjo, and screened in a primetime slot on ITV every year, Pride of Britain is the biggest show of its kind on British television.

Royalty, world leaders, and hundreds of famous faces including music legends, sporting icons, Hollywood stars and TV favourites have all taken part.

But the real stars are the winners, of all ages and from all walks of life, who are chosen by the Pride of Britain judging panel following tens of thousands of public nominations.

Their extraordinary achievements are celebrated at the glittering Pride of Britain Awards dinner at Grosvenor House in London in the Autumn, in a truly inspirational highlight of the national calendar.
