Pride of Guernsey winners

During an evening of excitement, tears and joy, the 12 winners were presented with their medals in front of an attendance of 180 guests, including Lt-Governor Vice-Admiral Ian Corder, his wife Lady Corder and Deputy Bailiff Richard McMahon.

The inaugural awards ceremony, presented by James Bentley and hosted by Andy and Jo Priaulx, saw the Guernsey Press office completely transformed into a spectacular venue, fitted-out with state-of the-art lighting and visuals.

The medal holders, all of whom have gone to phenomenal efforts for the community and their families, have now 'pressed print' for a live supplement of pictures.

See Monday's paper for coverage of the evening and a 16-page supplement free with Friday's edition of the Guernsey Press.
