Wimbledon champion Andy Murray, the first British winner of the men's title for 77 years, was named BBC Sports Personality of the Year on Sunday.
Murray was presented with the trophy by nine-times Wimbledon champion Martina Navratilova.
"Thanks to Martina Navratilova for giving this to me," Murray said. "She's possibly the greatest tennis player of all time.
"I've got a few people to thank -- my family first. A lot are there in the crowd. They've supported me since I was a kid, making a lot of sacrifices for me. I couldn't have done it without you."
Murray beat Serbian Novak Djokovic in straight sets in the Wimbledon final in July to become the first home winner of the men's singles at the grasscourt Grand Slam tournament since Fred Perry in 1936.
The British & Irish Lions rugby union side were named team of the year following their victory in Australia, the Lions' first series win since 1997.
Formula One world champion Sebastian Vettel of Germany claimed the overseas personality of the year prize.
