Eurovision has made Liverpool “come alive again” as thousands descend on the city to join in the party.
With three days to go until the grand final of the 67th song contest, music fans have swarmed to be part of the city wide festivities and live acts. Around 25,000 people gathered outside St George’s Hall on Sunday for the National Lottery Big Eurovision Welcome while many more have taken in the Eurovision village on the Pier Head and the first semi final at the M&S Bank Arena.
Stuart Andrew MP, the UK Government’s Eurovision minister, has been in Liverpool for the duration of the events and has heaped praise on the show it has put on.
