The 2007 RTS North West Awards were hosted by Coronation Street's Kym Ryder and the multitalented Bradley Walsh at the Hilton Hotel in Manchester. The star studded guests included: Johnny Vegas, John Thomson, Sue Cleaver, Samia Smith and David Threlfall.
The prestigious Judges Award this year honoured the life and work of Anthony H Wilson, commemorated in a warm and moving speech by former co-presenter Lucy Meacock and graciously accepted by his children, Oliver and Isabel.
