00:00 Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to announce the winner of our final award, our Murray & Bamshaw Hearer of Heroes 2024.
00:10 Once the judges had decided, as we heard from Graham, that was not them off the hook.
00:16 Once the public had got all their votes in, those 15,000 votes that came in, and we knew who the winners of each category were,
00:26 that was all sent back to the judges to decide who the overall Hero of Heroes for Murray & Bamshaw 2024 might be.
00:36 This award is sponsored by the KR Group. I'd like to invite Kenny Robertson, their Managing Director, to join me to announce this final Best in Show.
00:45 Good to see you. There we are, sir. This is the big one.
00:49 So, it was a tough, tough call, but the judges did come back together to decide which of those 15 should be the Hero of Heroes.
01:01 Am I milking this too much to think?
01:04 That was a yes, wasn't it? That was a yes.
01:09 It took a bit of discussion, but this individual - that's narrowed it down a bit - followed her dreams.
01:17 She has done an awful lot throughout her life to help others, and in doing so, has been a brilliant role model.
01:28 I'm going to stop there. If that's not completely given away, I'm going to hand the microphone over to you,
01:36 and I'm going to ask you to say a few words and announce our Hero of Heroes for 2024.
01:43 I'm telling you, it's going to be a drum roll.
01:47 Welcome to you. Welcome to you.
01:51 I'm so excited.
01:55 Your Superhero Hero of Heroes winner is Elaine Mayer.
02:01 [applause]
02:30 I'm going to take off and I'm speechless.
02:34 I want to genuinely, genuinely leave this up now.
02:40 Again, I just want to thank everybody, all the organisers, and the judges obviously for voting me in the final.
02:48 Again, I want to just thank my kids.
02:52 This is a good inspiration for my eight grandchildren.
03:00 For their dreams to go on just helping folk and being the best person that they can be in their lives.
03:10 I just want to thank everybody again. This is amazing.
03:13 [applause]
