X Factor's Robert Allen Comes to Hackney Empire

X Factor’s Robert Allen presented awards to young people from Hackney at the annual Trailblazer’s Award Ceremony.

The award ceremony which started in 2005 was repeated again this year and students given awards for achievements in five categories: academic achievement, sports, creative arts, musical excellence and personal development.

Hackney award ceremonies are always a night of high emotion, excitement and anticipation. This year was no exception and having Robert in the line-up heightened the anticipation, raised pulse rates and got the crowd screaming.
