Pride of Britain Awards

This year's Daily Mirror Pride of Britain Awards was one to remember for our nominee in the fund raiser category, who went to London to represent Calendar.

He didn't win the overall award but he did persuade two X Factor judges to make a very special call to his son back home near Skegness. Daniel Harris was there for us and his report does contain some flash photography.

Comedian Alan Carr has praised the work of PC Sara Widdrington after she won a Pride of Britain Award.

Sara was recognised for disarming a man who was trying to rob supermarket at gunpoint.

Alan said it was something he 'couldn't have done'.

Dr Kate Granger has describe Downing Street as a 'special place'.

The Yorkshire finalist for the Pride of Britain 'Fundraiser of the Year' title was invited to meet with the Prime Minister after missing out on the award.

Lincolnshire's Pride of Britain 'Fundraiser of the Year' finalist Mark Smith has been speaking to the Prime Minister about his campaign for compulsory wearing of cycle helmets.

Mark was nominated for the award for his work since his son Ryan suffered life-changing injuries after being knocked off his bike.

He missed out on the prize, but says the chance to talk to David Cameron was a great opportunity.
