Olympic diver Tom Daley has been crowned Man of the Year by Attitude magazine.
The 20-year-old, who publicly announced his homosexuality last year, has topped the magazine's Hot 100 Sexiest Men list for the past two years.
"It's a real honour to be named Man of the Year 2014 by Attitude magazine. It's been a good year and to be given this award means a lot," Daley said.
The Attitude Awards celebrate the achievements of gay people in entertainment, fashion and politics.
Magazine editor Matthew Todd said: "The Attitude Awards are a fantastic opportunity to celebrate all the people that have shaped our readers' lives for the last year.
"It's also to show young LGBT people who might be growing up feeling a bit scared about the world, that the people whose songs they download, whose films and TV shows they watch, and leaders of the political parties they may vote for, support them back."
Celebrities turned out for the event at Whitehall's Banqueting House which also raised funds for the Elton John Aids Foundation.

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
