The 63rd Ivor Novello Awards took place on Thursday 31 May (today), with some of the UK's biggest artists - including Ed Sheeran, Elbow and Stormzy - taking home awards.
Stormzy and Sheeran received the top prizes, for Album of the Year and Songwriter of the Year, respectively.
Accepting his award from last years recipient Laura Mvula, Stormzy said: “YES. Very very happy right now. Obviously this is an award that only recognises your pen and your art so... properly wanted to win this one.
"YES. Man. I worked so hard on my album from an artistic point of view, I worked so hard, I made sure my pen was as sharp as it could be. YES.”
