The Eurovision Song Contest's directing supervisor, Martin Österdahl has praised Liverpool for doing a "spectacular" job in hosting the contest.
He told the ECHO he and the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) were blown away by Liverpool's dedication to the show and that it has set a precedent for years to come.
Celebrations kicked off two weeks ago which saw thousands of fans head to the city. It's been classed as one of the most exciting and packed contests ever due to the nonstop programme of activities and events put into place by the council and surrounding communities.
