The Attitude Pride Awards 2018, supported by United Airlines and Sky, took place on Friday afternoon ahead of Pride in London (July 6), acknowledging the LGBT+ people and allies who have overcome life-changing events or are working selflessly to improve the lives of others.
Hosted by Judge Robert Rinder, the event at The Berkeley Hotel in Knightsbridge shone a spotlight on ten remarkable people with real stories crying out to be told.
LGBT+ stars and allies turned out in force to help honour the community’s everyday heroes, including Will Young, George Shelley, Courtney Act, and BBC Breakfast presenters Naha Munchetty and Ben Thompson.
