As the Eurovision Song Contest 2022 kicked off in Turn, Italy this evening, the arena was filled with chants of: "Give peace a chance."
As the Italian city was filled with the message of support, viewers watching at home took to social media to discuss the most politically-charged opening to a Eurovision Song Contest in recent years.
"Turin’s opening of #Eurovision with Give Peace a Chance, brought a tear to my eye and restored my faith in humanity," one viewer watching at home tweeted, with another adding: "‘All we are saying, is give peace a chance’ We’re one minute into Eurovision and I’m already getting emosh."
