From the television to the red carpet: Anna Williamson, Emily Maitlis, and Levi Roots
Her success made her the pin-up girl of the cycling world and she was the cover star of magazines like Esquire and Harper's Bazaar and launched a range of women's bikes with Halfords.
Following her big day at the palace Victoria headed over to attend The Prince's Trust and Samsung Celebrate Success Awards at Odeon Leicester Square.
Other stars that joined her included actors Idris Elba and Damian Lewis, as well as fashion designer Stella McCartney, OBE.
This is the national final following a series of regional award ceremonies across the country at the end of last year.
The Prince's Trust helps disadvantaged young people get their lives on track, it also supports people aged 13-30 who are unemployed and those struggling at school and at risk of exclusion.
The trust's programmes give vulnerable young people practical and financial support in a bid to stabilise their lives, encouraging higher self-esteem and skills for work.
Three in four young people supported by the trust move into work, education or training, and it has helped more than 700,000 young people since 1976, supporting 100 more each day, the charity said.
Naomi Johnston, 27, from Edinburgh received the Mappin and Webb Young Ambassador of the Year award from the emotional actress who wiped tears away from her cheeks.
Speaking about the event, Mirren said: 'All the young people here today are truly inspirational. Their remarkable stories have blown me away.
'I would like to congratulate each and every young person for showing that with resilience and hard work you really can reach your potential and be an inspiration to others.'
