Moving awards promise to be the most inspiring Pride of Britain hunt is on for our everyday heroes Prince Charles says it’s a “marvellous
and humbling” event while Prime Minister Gordon Brown calls it “a highlight of the national calendar”. And I agree. For over a decade, it has been my immense honour to host the Daily Mirror’s Pride of Britain Awards on ITV1. To me it seems to grow stronger each time. From the cobbles of Coronation Street – which we’re renaming Nomination Street – the soap’s stars and I are calling for the public to tell us who they want to win awards in 2009. No winners are more deserving.
They’re not celebrities but they are real stars, unsung heroes of all ages, whose inspiring stories take your breath away.
