It's not the first time Sarah has attended the awards 

Speaking about her role at this year's ceremony, where she presented an award to 104-year-old super fundraiser Joan Willet, the Duchess said: “It has been an honour to be a part of the British Heart Foundation’s Heart Hero Awards again this year and to be able to celebrate so many dedicated and inspiring individuals and to hear their stories.

"My highlight of the evening was presenting the extraordinary Joan Willet with a new award, The Joan Willet Legacy Award. 

"This phenomenal 104-year-old woman raised over £60,000 for the BHF by walking up and down the hill outside her care home during lockdown. 

"Her amazing achievement and selfless determination inspired her very own award which will now be presented to a worthy winner each year. Congratulations Joan! You are a remarkable lady."

The likes of Luke Pritchard and Gemma Atkinson also attended the online ceremony, and there were musical performances from Luke and Ella Henderson.
