The evening was hosted by Roman Kemp, Marvin Humes and Spice Girls star Emma Bunton in front of screens showing the sunflower, Ukraine’s national flower.
Welsh rock band Manic Street Preachers delivered an impassioned performance of their song If You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next, which has lyrics inspired by the Spanish Civil War.
