Mike Kerr and Ben Thatcher of Royal Blood with their award for Best British Group
Rock duo Royal Blood have been crowned best British group at the Brit Awards.
The Sussex pair were presented with the gong at a ceremony at London's O2 Arena by Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page.
They faces stiff competition for the title, with X Factor heartthrobs One Direction also on the shortlist.
Guitarist Mike Kerr said: "This is a huge surprise for us. It's probably more of a surprise for everyone here because you may not know who we are."
