The UK, along with Ukraine, Germany, France, Italy and Spain have all automatically qualified for the final. With that being said, there has been plenty of Eurovision fun in Liverpool throughout the week.
Many fans were dressed to impress, from sequins to wearing their chosen country's flag. Even with the heavy rain on Thursday, many dressed in vibrant colours to brighten up the dull skies.
The semi finals have been screened at EuroVillage come rain or shine, and fans have been raring to get in the spirit. Some were spotted in flamboyant pink and red outfits and sunglasses despite downpours, others were head to toe in sequins and glitter.
Our ECHO photographers have been snapping Eurovision fans all week having a great time. It’s been a memorable time, and the anticipation for the grand final is growing - here are our highlights.
