Accolades were handed out in London, Monday as the music publication Q Magazine handed out gongs for the best in popular music.

Chart stars Coldplay took home two awards: 'The Best Act in the World Today' and 'Best Album' for 'Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends'.

The 'Best New Act' went to The Last Shadow Puppets, which narrowly missed out on the Nationwide Mercury Prize one month ago.
