LONDON : Harry Styles, Charli XCX, Raye and indie rock duo Wet Leg were among the winners at the Ivors, the annual awards for songwriters and screen composers, in London on Thursday where music star Sting was honoured with a fellowship.

Sting, who has already won seven Ivor Novello awards, becomes the Academy's 23rd Fellow, joining the likes of Elton John, Paul McCartney, Kate Bush and Andrew Lloyd Webber. "It sounds a bit like ‘Lord of the Rings’ to me but I think the fellowship has certain duties attached to it. I think one of the things that is important is to protect the rights of songwriters, not just established songwriters like me but young up and coming songwriters."

Music collective Sault's"11" was named best album while best song musically and lyrically went to"King" by Florence + the Machine.
