You've been telling us about lots of special people by nominating them for one of Heart's Local Heroes Awards, supported by Legal & General and Gatwick Airport.
A panel from Heart and the Local Heroes sponsors selected the top 3 nominees in each category who were invited along to our Heart’s Local Heroes Awards Ceremony on Friday 8th April at the elegant 4* Felbridge Hotel and Spa, East Grinstead.
The evening, hosted by Heart Breakfast's Tom, Lynsey & Jack , included a drinks reception, entertainment, 3 course meal and we announced the winner in each of our eight categories and the overall winner of the ultimate accolade 'Heart’s Local Hero 2011' .
