Celebrity fans will pay tribute to the comedian and fundraising Comic Relief frontman when the awards are broadcast live on ITV from the OVO Arena, Wembley.
Sir Lenny has been a mainstay on TV for nearly 50 years, starting with his 1975 win over New Faces at age 16, leading to further accolades in such era-defining shows as Tiswas and Three of a Kind.
He broke new ground for black talent and then enjoyed huge success with his own sketch comedy series before playing a key role in the formation of Comic Relief.

Among those who congratulate Sir Lenny on his achievements as a writer, campaigner, comedian and broadcaster is Hollywood superstar Whoopi Goldberg, who says: ‘If you want to know what a superhero looks like, take a look at Sir Lenny Henry.’
However, two notable faces will be missing from Thursday’s NTA ceremony, as MailOnline revealed on Wednesday that Ant and Dec have pulled out after being knocked down with Covid.
The TV duo, which won best presenter at the NTAs 20 years in a row, has flu-like symptoms and is ‘bed-bound’ due to the contagious infection.

A spokesperson for Britain’s Got Talent announced on Wednesday that the couple is “unwell” and will not work until they recover.
A source told MailOnline: ‘Ant and Dec are upset. They love the NTAs, it’s the best night on TV and for them it’s an event they always look forward to.
“They are both feeling really bad, but will watch the show from bed and hope to be healthy and back to work soon.”
A spokesperson for Ant and Dec told MailOnline: ‘After they both felt unwell, Ant and Dec tested for Covid and unfortunately both tested positive.
“The duo put off work commitments while they recover.”
The couple confirmed the news on their Instagram account, sharing a photo of their positive tests as they joked, ‘We even get sick together!’
Their absence from the star-studded NTAs won’t go unnoticed by viewers, who have voted for Ant and Dec to win Best Presenter for over two decades.
