The concert organised in the aftermath of the terror attack at Manchester Arena has been named "Music Moment of the Year" at the NME Awards.
The gig saw a whole host of international music acts perform at Old Trafford Cricket Ground to raise money for victims of the atrocity just days after 22 people lost their lives.
Pop star Ariana Grande, who organised the event, was also named "Hero of the Year".
The 24-year-old had been performing at The Arena on the night it was targeted by a suicide bomber on 22nd May. She's been praised by the judges for rallying to help the victims and for showing "strength in the wake of adversity".
She dedicated the award to the people of Manchester: ""I really appreciate everyone who has voted tonight, but I’d like to dedicate this award to the real heroes – the people of Manchester, the brave young men and women who stand together."
Elsewhere at the awards, Liam Gallagher picked up the "Godlike Genius" prize, six years after his brother Noel.
On the red carpet, the former Oasis star said his sibling was "worse than Donald Trump'' when asked who his 'Villain of the Year' was: "Gotta be Noel,'' he said.
"I'm being serious. You're laughing, but he's worse than Kim-Jun f*g Tung or whatever he's called.
"And he's worse than Donald Trump. He's the biggest liar and biggest faker in the business, so yeah, him.''
"He's worse than Piers Morgan as well,'' he added - who won the prize.
The late Fall frontman Mark E Smith was also remembered at the ceremony which came just three weeks after the Prestwich singer's his death.
