REAL life superheroes were celebrated in Sheffield yesterday after being honoured in The Star's Super Kids Awards 2008.
Smiling youngsters were treated to a superhero-themed event at the Hilton Hotel on Victoria Quays.

The Star's editor, Alan Powell, who helped compere the event, said: "These awards really remind us that kids are not all bad.
"In fact, some of them are absolutely brilliant and it is a real honour to host this event."
