Eurovillage has shown what Liverpool is really capable of.
The festival was nothing short of a smash-hit, and over the week around 100 performers and tens of thousands of fans transformed the Pier Head and perhaps reminded the city what it was capable of. It could easily top the list of biggest events the city has hosted since our success as Capital of Culture in 2008.
For many the Eurovision Village will have been a reminder of times lost. At times in our history - many not so distant - the city was welcoming such events every year such as Summer Pops and the Mathew Street festival.
