This year's Pride In Medway winner is make-up artist and tattooist Camilla Seton.

She launched a permanent make-up business for people who are undergoing cancer treatment.

Her free treatments include eyebrow tattooing for those who have lost hair through chemotherapy.

Camilla, who is from Rochester, also creates 3D nipples for women who have had mastectomies.

Unfortunately, Camilla could not attend the ceremony as she was improving her skills at a training course in Yorkshire.

Seventeen-year-old Karol helps coach youngsters from deprived areas, and as Sarah loved sports and championed young people, he seemed the perfect candidate.
