There were many people who helped make 2020 a little bit brighter, not least the frontline workers who put their own health at risk to protect others.

We asked Brianna Parkins, Eoghan Tomás McDermott, Daniel McConnell and Roe McDermott to nominate their own heroes of 2020.

Brianna: Retail workers

Eoghan: Scientists behind the vaccine

Daniel: Dublin men's and women's teams

Roe: Everyone involved in the Galway paddleboarders rescue
