Eurovision organisers feel they are in a "really good place" to deal with any potential cyberthreat from Russia, the BBC's managing director of the event has said.
Thousands of people have made their way to Liverpool for the celebration of music and spirits are already high in the EuroVillage, at St George's Hall and all across the city.
Security preparations are in place with the contest protected by a ring of steel involving 5,500 police officers across 11 days. Fears over a potential cyberthreat have been raised as well due to the UK hosting the contest following Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
