Great British Bake Off star Mary Berry has been named the Oldie Of The Year.
The cookery writer and judge from the hit BBC series rose to the top at The Oldie magazine's annual celebration lunch recognising the contribution of mature familiar faces.
Ms Berry, 78, said: "I just love being an oldie, there's no Botox, no implants and no tucks and that's how I think we should all be."
Actress Anne Reid, also 78, one of the stars of BBC1's Last Tango In Halifax, was named Pin-up Of The Year.
Broadcaster Nicholas Parsons, who is still hosting his Radio 4 series Just A Minute after 46 years at the age of 90, collected the Dorian Gray Award. Organisers and judges often tailor the awards to those they feel are worthy of recognition.
Former Prime Minister Sir John Major, 70, was named Campaigner Of The Year, while Joan Woolard - a Barclays investor who told bank executives 'I don't know how you sleep at night' - won Heckler Of The Year.
In her acceptance speech she said the award was "the icing on top of the cake" after recently selling her four bedroom house in a day and giving the £200,000 proceeds to charity Kids Company.
The judges for the awards, staged in London and hosted by Sir Terry Wogan, included broadcasters Jon Snow and Libby Purves and The Oldie's founder Richard Ingrams.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
