Mischa Barton's been partying at the Cannes Film Festival but she left the sunny South of France to join a whole host of UK stars for the Britain's Best 2008 bash at London Television Studios yesterday. The award ceremony pays tribute to outstanding Britons in a range of areas, from the arts to campaigning, and includes The Sun's Global Recognition Award, which was presented by Gordon Brown to the Armed Forces. James McAvoy flew in from Berlin for his Film Award, Leona Lewis accepted her Music Award via satellite from the US and Mischa Barton presented the Business Award to Marchesa. Gordon Ramsay received a glowing tribute from Victoria Beckham on receiving the Television Award, which was presented in front of a star-filled audience that included Davina McCall, Skins' Nicholas Hoult and Michelle Ryan.
