The Wanderlust World Guide Awards winners ceremony is always a magical evening of joy, laughter and even a few happy tears.
If we're not laughing, we're definitely smiling - or in the middle of a hug, trying to not to bubble up - as we celebrate what makes the world's greatest travel guides so very special, and award thoroughly-deserved bursaries to the winning guides.
This year's ceremony took place at the Royal Geographical Society in Kensington, London on Wednesday 2 October. Journalist Simon Calder and photographer Paul Goldstein joined our own Lyn Hughes as presenters, along with hundreds of industry pros and loyal Wanderlust readers in the audience.
