On Tuesday, the annual GQ Men of the Year Awards in association with Hugo Boss took place to "honour the men and women who shape the world's cultural landscapes in sport, style, entertainment and more".

Hosted by actor and activist Michael Sheen, this year's event saw famous faces including Bodyguard star Richard Madden, rapper Dave and former professional footballer David Beckham take home awards.

On the morning of the ceremony, British GQ revealed that Beckham was to receive the Editor's Special Award, which was presented to him by Dylan Jones, editor of the publication.

Environmental activist Greta Thunberg was named the first recipient of the Game Changer Of The Year award, who dedicated the recognition to "everyone whose school is striking for the climate".
