The Duke of Cambridge and Ed Sheeran will honour medics who battled to save lives after the Manchester Arena bombing at the Mirror's Pride Of Britain Awards.

Prince William and the singer-songwriter will present an award for the paramedics, nurses and surgeons who treated 220 people - including many young victims - following the explosion at an Ariana Grande concert on May 22.

David Beckham, Simon Cowell, Professor Stephen Hawking, Sir Michael Caine and One Direction's Liam Payne are among the celebrities who will pay tribute to the achievements of winners.

The awards, in partnership with TSB, follow a year in which the UK's emergency services were tested to the limit by a string of terror attacks in London and Manchester, as well as the Grenfell fire in June, in which around 80 people died.

Carol Vorderman, who is hosting the ceremony, said: "It's important this year that the Pride Of Britain awards pay tribute to the heroic work of our emergency services, who have gone above and beyond over the past 12 months."

The Pride Of Britain Awards will be broadcast on Tuesday November 7th at 8pm on ITV.
