Daily Record Our Heroes Award

May 2009, Hilton Hotel, Glasgow

A glittering reception attended by celebrities, sports stars and business leaders honouring the people who make Scotland proud and who go to extraordinary lengths to help others.

Once again this year, readers of the Daily Record nominated candidates and our judging panel selected a shortlist of three heroes from each category in areas including armed forces, senior, caring, entertainment and sport.

At the star-studded dinner at the Hilton Hotel in Glasgow, hosted by Jackie Bird and Tam Cowan, the 10 winners and the overall hero for 2008 were revealed. Guests enjoyed a champagne reception, lavish 3-course meal and live entertainment.

Inspirational past winners from the community are courageous Black Watch solider Colin Hamilton who despite losing a leg in Kosovo returned to the front line in Iraq and 10 year old Ryan Anderson who saved his twin brother Shane’s life by donating his bone marrow.

Past celebrity winners include Midge Ure, Andrew Murray, Franz Ferdinand, and Holywood actor Billy Boyd.
