Prince Harry praised the seriously ill youngsters who were honoured at the WellChild Awards, a year after missing the annual event to join his family at Balmoral.
He told guests: "As you know, I was unable to attend the awards last year as my grandmother passed away.
"As you also probably know, she would have been the first person to insist I come to be with you instead of going to her, and that's why I know, exactly one year on, she is looking down on all of us tonight - happy we are together, continuing to spotlight such an incredible community."
HELLO! once again joined forces with the Duke and WellChild at the inspiring ceremony, organised in association with GSK, which recognises the achievements and bravery of the winners and those who care for them.
Prince Harry, who has been patron of the national charity for severely ill children since 2007, flew in from California to spend time with them at London's Hurlingham Club.
He said in his speech: "It's wonderful to be here at the 18th annual WellChild Awards - a night I personally look forward to each year, because I get to be with you.
"Tonight, we meet to celebrate the tremendous strength and spirit of children and young people across the UK and the individuals who are transforming at-home care for thousands."
CELEBRATING STRENGTH
He continued: "Your collective stories of strength, compassion and perseverance are inspiring to not only those in this room, but many far and wide. You have set the bar and raised it time and time again, and I am so humbled to stand before you as I strive to convey your impact in words."
