THE eighth annual Our Heroes Awards was a night where celebrities and VIPs gathered to pay tribute to inspirational individuals and unsung heroes who go the extra mile to help others.
The night's moving moments at the Moat House Hotel, in Festival Park, Etruria, came courtesy of the nominees. An audience of 250 people heard stories of unconditional love, daily struggles, selflessness and determination that provide lessons for us all. The whole spectrum of emotions were experienced, from sadness to sheer joy at seeing such deserving people receive recognition.
VIPs: From top, Wendy Turner-Webster and Brian Turner; Jonathon, Eileen and Kay Wilkes; Nick and Shari Hancock. Right, guests enjoying the awards.
GUESTS: From top, Gordon Banks and Norman Smurthwaite; John Rudge and Peter Keller; Chief Constable Mike Cunningham and Col Tim Sandiford.
During the past eight years, The Our Heroes Awards, sponsored by The Aspire Group, has seen The Sentinel publish more than 1,000 heartwarming stories and prizes have been given out to more than 200 winners.
Following a black-tie dinner, 29 awards were handed out during an Oscars-style ceremony hosted by Aspire Group chief executive Sinad Butters and Sentinel columnist and deputy editor Martin Tideswell.
