This video shows the moment the crowds at the Eurovision Village turned into a massive dance troupe.
Thousands of ticket-holders gathered for hours in the beating sun ahead of the Eurovision Village on the historic Pier Head opening to the public on Saturday. There were cheers from fans dressed as Ukrainian acts Verka Serduchka and Kalush Orchestra and families in Union flag outfits as the stewards removed the barriers.
Some ran straight to the front of the stage to claim a prime spot for the performances from acts including Claire Richards from Steps and Katrina Leskanich of Katrina And The Waves, ahead of the screening of the grand final from 8pm on the big screens. After watching X Factor runners up Jedward perform their own take on Oasis's Wonderwall, the crowd was treated to a set from late 90s Eurodance music group Vengaboys.
