One Direction and Arctic Monkeys were the big winners at The Brit Awards 2014 tonight (February 19).

The X Factor boyband took home the BRITs Global Success Award for the second year running, while also winning the first ever British Video Award for Best Song Ever - with the lads thanking host James Corden for his work on the promo.

Alex Turner and Co were named British Group - beating the likes of Bastille, Disclosure, 1D and Rudimental.

The Sheffield rockers also won the coveted Mastercard British Album of the Year accolade for AM, with Turner making a rather memorable speech, stating: "That rock 'n' roll eh, the rock 'n' roll just won't go away... It's always waiting there, just around the corner to make it's way back through the sludge and smash through the glass ceiling, looking better than ever.

"Yeah, that rock 'n' roll seems like it's fading away sometimes, but it will never die and there's nothing you can do about it."

He then exclaimed: "Invoice me for the mircophone if you need it too", before dropping it to the floor.

The likes of Ellie Goulding, Bastille, Rudimental, Lorde, Bruno Mars and Daft Punk also took home gongs.

Pharrell Williams and Nile Rodgers closed the show, with Beyonce, Katy Perry and Disclosure also putting on memorable performances.
