A great night was had by all at the Examiner Business Awards - and you tweeted the pictures to prove it!

Twitter was on fire with pictures tweeted by winners and finalists alike, from the drinks reception in the John Smiths Stadium bar at the start of the night, to last orders at midnight.

BBC Look North presenter Harry Gration, who hosted the awards, was in-demand all night for pictures with guests and was more than happy to oblige!

The winners posed happily for pictures with their awards and spoke of how thrilled they were to be recognised.

A raffle brought in £1,500 for the The Forget Me Not Children's Hospice, our Business Awards charity of choice.

Well done everyone!
