Quick recap of tonight's award winners as the celebrations are set to continue into the night.
A lollipop lady who dived in front of an out-of-control car to push a group of children to safety has been honoured.
However, mother-of-one Karin Williams, from Rhoose in the Vale of Glamorgan, Wales, insisted: "I'm not brave."
Also honoured were rescue workers Paul Eastment, Chris Missen, and Martin Blaker-Rowe, who saved a woman swept from a car in surging flood water in Umberleigh, Devon.
Other unsung heroes who received awards included the families of the 96 Liverpool fans who died in the 1989 Hillsborough disaster, in recognition of their long fight for justice.
The award was collected by Margaret Aspinall, chairman of the Hillsborough Families Support Group.
Eight-year-old Harley Lane, from Stockport, Cheshire, whose legs and arms were amputated to save his life after he suffered meningitis as a toddler, was also honoured.
The schoolboy raised more than £1,000 earlier this year in a sponsored run using new prosthetic limbs.
Clifford Harding, 36, from Birmingham, who volunteers as a youth worker with vulnerable children, won the Prince's Trust young achiever award.
The event was backed by more than 100 stars and public figures including David Beckham, the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Cambridge, and Usain Bolt, the six times Olympic sprint champion and fastest man in the world.
Beckham was shown presenting the teenager of courage award to Malala Yousafzai, the 16-year-old Pakistani teenager who was shot in the head by the Taliban after campaigning for girls' education.
He told her: "You're an amazing young lady, a very special young lady, and your story has moved millions of people around the world. I'm so privileged and honoured to present this award to you."
And of course, the Pride of Britain awards will be screened on ITV at 8pm tomorrow.
