BRIT Awards 2012 Winners

Adele added to her haul of industry honours by winning two top prizes, including album of the year for 21 at the Brit Awards in London on Tuesday.

 

The singer, who scooped six Grammys earlier this month, continued her incredible run of success by also fighting off competition from Florence and the Machine, Jessie J, Kate Bush and Laura Marling to be named best British Female Solo Artist.

 

Choking back tears, she told the audience, "Thank you very, very much. Nothing makes me prouder than coming home with six Grammys and then coming to the Brits and winning album of the year. I'm so proud to be British and to be flying the flag. Thank you - I'll see you next time around."
