Liverpool transformed into a sea of blue, yellow and glitter this last week as Eurovision 2023 was hosted on behalf of Ukraine in the city.
It's come around quickly, but it was last year that Liverpool was announced as the host city of Eurovision for 2023, after winners Ukraine could not hold the competition for safety and security reasons due to the ongoing invasion by Russia. In the build up, we saw installations and decorations start to take place and everything from the two week EuroFestival programme to the Blue and Yellow Submarine Parade, the EuroVillage opening its gates, the Eurovision 2023 Welcome Party and more incredible performances.
It was arguably the biggest event the city has hosted in its history, following on from our success as Capital of Culture in 2008. With so much going on, it left many of us reminiscing of lost annual events in the city from years gone by.
