Solheim Cup captain Catriona Matthew speaking to BBC One: "It's still unbelievable. When I watched that I still shivered. In the last half an hour everything changed back in our direction. The crowd were fantastic and spurred us on to win it."

And now it's time to present the Unsung Hero Award.

Ben Stokes, speaking to BBC One on his match-winning innings at Headingley in the Ashes: "I always believed that I could do it. The period were you need 70 to win, you're in a do or die situation, you're not expected to win. When it got to single figures, I started to get nervous and think what am I going to do here.

"Family and friends are with you through thick and thin. We spend a lot of time away from home so that means time away from my wife, kids and friends but they're the unit that keep you grounded."

And now we look back briefly on Europe's incredible win over the USA at the Solheim Cup.

One point. Final putt. VERY dramatic!

Scottish golfer Catriona Matthew, Europe's captain, chats to Clare Balding afterwards.

England's cricket hero Ben Stokes told earlier of his pride to be on the six-strong Sports Personailty shortlist.

"Just to be nominated is something special in itself," said the 28-year-old who helped his side to a first Cricket World Cup triumph and then made a remarkable unbeaten 135 in the third Ashes Test triumph against Australia at Headingley.

"This awards night is to celebrate sport at the end of the year. I think everyone here has managed to do amazing things. It’s great to be here representing cricket. The sport I chose to do and love.

"It was an awesome year, not just for myself but for the rest of the team."

This VT is just Stokesy at home with his family. Nice and simple! The stark opposite of England's World Cup win.

Ben Stokes speaking to BBC One on winning the Cricket World Cup: "The journey we took was four years, we built up to this tournament. To come out as winners, you dream of days like that and we manged to do it. It's a memory we'll always be able to back on with fond memories."

Ben Stokes is our next Sports Personality of the Year contender.

He helped England win the Cricket World Cup for the first time with a dramatic batting display in the super-over victory against New Zealand at Lord's.

He also made a remarkable unbeaten 135 in the one-wicket third Ashes Test triumph against Australia at Headingley.

A summer of cricket we will never forget!

They are reliving the World Cup victory and Ben Stokes says "it was one of the best days of my life".

Here come the England cricket team - well, three of them. 'Sir' Ben Stokes as he's commonly known as now, alongside skipper Eoin Morgan and Jason Roy.

Dream team.

Now it's a VT of the Cricket World Cup. SO MUCH DRAMA.

One of the craziest scenes in sporting history. Jason Roy, Eoin Morgan, Jofra Archer and Ben Stokes are reliving it all.

Doddie Weir speaking to BBC One: "Thank you very much for this most amazing award. It’s lovely to have my family, and the rugby boys here. This is the closest I’ve ever gotten to a trophy so it’s very nice! What a great Christmas present this has been and to raise awareness of MND.

"From playing sport, I’ve got a bit of spirit and fight and my spirit is to find a cure for MND. My foundation was raised nearly £5 million, the recognition and support has been staggering.

"Sport has taught me to enjoy myself because you don’t know what’s next so tonight will be pretty special.

"I want to thank my family and most importantly my boys. They always say leave the best to last, that’s not you Hoggy, Gaz or Kenny Logan, it’s my wife Kathy. Your support has been magnificent, I know I’m not the most patient, thank you very much."

It all came down to this in the tennis.

That stunning final between Novak Djokovic and the one and only Roger Federer. It finished just a few minutes before England's cricket team won the World Cup. How many of you set up multiple TV screens to watch?

Lewis Hamilton also went and won a record sixth British Grand Prix that day. Busy.

The Princess Royal on BBC One: "It's a pleasure to see Doddie here. Thank you all for the reception you gave him. You've given a lot of pleasure and pride here over the years of playing for Scotland and we're very grateful for that. I've been a Patron Saint of the MND society for 30 year and I know what a difference you've made and its impact and your ability to fund research for MND. For that, we are extremely grateful. It has been a real pleasure.

"I have to say he was nearly a competitor of mine, but they couldn't find a horse big enough for him! It's a real pleasure to give you this award."

Tennis time!

Wimbledon is always a highlight of the year and it was another cracking event this summer as we look back on that among other Grand Slam highlights.

From teenager Coco Gauff's incredible journey, to Johanna Konta's quarter-final defeat and Rafael Nadal's showdown with Nick Kyrgios - it was full of drama.

And he leaves the last thanks to his wife. What a guy! He will be in her good books for a long time after that!
