Some of the biggest names in rock music turned out last night for the Classic Rock Roll Of Honour awards last night, held at Camden's Roundhouse.
The event, hosted by former Guns N' Roses bassist Duff McKagan, saw some of rock's longest serving legends honoured.
ZZ Top went home with the Living Legend Award, while Motley Crew bassist and co-founder Nikki Sixx was named Showman of the Year.
Sixx even presented his Sixx sense American radio show from the event.
Lynyrd Skynyrd were awarded the Comeback Award and played a 30-minute set for guests at the awards, put on by the editors of Classic Rock magazine.
Pink Floyd took home two awards, one for Reissue Of The Year for Immersion, and a second for the Film/DVD award which they won for the documentry The Story Of Wish You Were Here.
The late Deep Purple star Jon Lord was posthumously awarded the Tommy Vance Inspiration Award after passing away following a pulmonary embolism in July this year.
The Tommy Vance Award honours individuals who have had a trailbalzing influence on music. Previous musicians honoured included John Bonham.
Classic Rock's editor-in-chief, Scott Rowley, remarked that despite the hype around things like gangnam Style and Nicki Minaj this year, it had actually been a great year for new rock music.
