A national celebration

BBC Hosts, Kate Thornton and Jeremy Vine
Every picture tells a story and we've got so many stories to tell from the 2007 winners' weekend.
From the drinks party at The Tower Hotel to after the ceremony we hope and believe that this two-day prize for all 149 winners and their guests was a memorable and exciting event.
The television programme made at the national ceremony, and broadcast within minutes of the show's ending at the London Palladium, was watched on BBC2 by 1.1m viewers.
And so we hope that the event has contributed to the Teaching Awards' ultimate aim, of raising the status of teachers and reminding the public of the priceless value of education.
At the national ceremony our photographer, Jason Andrews, worked backstage as well as in the auditorium. Download pictures for yourself from our picture gallery at http://teachingawards.thirdlight.com/index.tlx
