We did it. An undoubted douze points. We staged the biggest and best Eurovision Song Contest ever. And never once did we forget we were doing it on behalf of the people of Ukraine.
OK. We might be a little bit biased but the past few weeks have shown Liverpool at its brilliant best and, glowing in Saturday’s sunshine, our fabulous city looked staggeringly beautiful.
I bet Eurovision boss Martin Österdahl was only half joking when he said he wanted Liverpool to host every year. Because we didn’t just host Eurovision we embraced it in all its sequinned and glittering glory and welcomed thousands of visitors to our city with open arms.
