It was an emotional night at the Pride of Manchester awards as a galaxy of stars led the tributes to our city's inspirational community heroes. Elbow star Guy Garvey summed up just how special the night was as he told the audience: "I've never been prouder to be a Mancunian than I am tonight" after hearing the incredible stories of triumph over adversity and community spirit.
