England cricketer Ben Stokes has been voted BBC Sports Personality of the Year 2019.
The all-rounder was man of the match as England won the World Cup for the first time with a dramatic super over victory against New Zealand at Lord’s.
Stokes, 28, also hit an unbeaten 135 in the one-wicket third Ashes Test triumph against Australia at Headingley.
In a public vote, Formula 1 driver Lewis Hamilton finished second while sprinter Dina Asher-Smith was third.
Manchester City and England footballer Raheem Sterling, world heptathlon champion Katarina Johnson-Thompson and Welsh rugby union legend Alun Wyn Jones were also shortlisted for the main award.
Durham’s Stokes was presented with his award by the Princess Royal and former Manchester United and Scotland footballer Denis Law.
He becomes the first cricketer since Andrew Flintoff in 2005 to win the prize.
New Zealand-born Stokes is missing the first warm-up match of England’s Test tour of South Africa, which starts on Tuesday, in order to attend the show in Aberdeen.
“First of all, I think congratulations to all the nominees. What you’ve managed to achieve as individuals and do for your sport is simply sensational, so well done to you too.
