A singer, songwriter and presenter from Bury set the red carpet alight as he stepped out at the Pride of Britain's Pride of Manchester Awards last week.

Jsky has been a much-loved judge for the event for the past three years, proudly celebrating the achievements of local individuals and organisations who go the extra mile for others.

Wearing a chain dress comprised of reflective stars, the BBC presenter dedicated his look to all of the nominees for the event who he dubbed as the "real stars" of our city.

He said: "It really is the greatest privilege for me to be able to champion such incredible people who make up the fabric of Manchester.

“I couldn't be prouder of my city."

He presented an award for Figen Murray, the mother of Martyn Hett, who died in the Manchester Arena bombing in 2017.

Figen is campaigning for Martyn's Law to be set in law to ensure that organisations meet public safety standards.

Jsky was joined on stage by actress Sue Johnston, star of sitcom The Royle Family and award-winning actress and host Kym Marsh.

Speaking on the night, he said: "Figen Murray, you are an incredible woman, an incredible force for good in this world.

“What you went through that night, what we all felt the impact of across our city and around the globe, no one should experience, no mother should ever have to experience.

“The work you do to ensure no one else has to experience it is nothing short of remarkable.

“Your capacity for others knows no bounds. You are an inspiration to me. You are an inspiration to Manchester."
