Key members of Liverpool's successful Eurovision 2023 bid have shared what made the city's campaign so special.
A jubilant mood swept across the region last night when Graham Norton announced Liverpool would host the international spectacle next May. Liverpool won over competition from other major cities such as Glasgow, Manchester and Birmingham to become next year's host.
The contest will be held across the M&S Bank arena and convention centre - and the event complex's managing director told the ECHO why the city is the perfect Eurovision host. Faye Dyer said: "It will have come down to the people, the culture, the ethos, the whole vibe that is Liverpool and what is the right fit for Eurovision.
