The Great British Bake Off star, 91, took to the stage to a standing ovation from the audience, and celebrated the importance of the BBC in her heartfelt speech.
Introducing the beloved chef and TV host, Giedroyc praised Berry for having “humanity, grace, a twinkle, and a much-needed moral compass in these times of utter nonsense”.

“Television wasn't part of my childhood. We had our first black and white TV when I was 10,” Berry noted.
