Gareth Thomas talking to BBC One: "The importance of sport is huge but for me it's all about inspiration. There's loads of people in here that give me inspiration but there's loads of people at home who can inspire others. For me, it's all about people realising that there are people fighting to keep people who inspire others going."

Great opportunity to watch Baroness Grey-Thompson's speech after picking up the lifetime achievement award.

Minutes away from finding out the winner. Gareth Thomas' Sport Relief challenge is coming to an end first as he delivers the trophy inside the stadium.

Jos Buttler breaking the stumps to seal World Cup victory for England's cricket team has been voted the Greatest Moment of the Year.

England beat New Zealand at Lord's to win the World Cup for the first time in July in one of the most dramatic matches in the sport's history.

Buttler sealed victory on the last ball of a super over after a tied match. He whipped off the bails to run out New Zealand's Martin Guptill.

Goosebumps? Us too.

Eoin Morgan speaking to BBC One: "It only tells a short part of the four-year journey we've been on. Throughout the whole of the World Cup campaign people showed faith, love and support and we're extremely grateful for that."

"On behalf of the players, coaching staff and the England & Wales Cricket Board, thank you very much."

Captain Eoin Morgan receives the trophy and hands it over to Ben Stokes so he can do his speech.

"Let's hope that's not the first one you hold," he jokes!
