THE 22nd annual ScottishPower/Trinity Mirror Your Champions Awards toasted heroes from across the region on Friday.

Community champions gathered for the red carpet treatment at The Crowne Plaza Hotel as glowing tributes were paid to those unsung and selfless community stalwarts who have given so much to our region.

Young and old heroes from towns, villages, schools and community organisations mingled with local celebrities, MPs, civic dignitaries and representatives from ScottishPower and Trinity Mirror Cheshire.
