Liverpool’s “fantastic” staging of the Eurovision Song Contest has won praise from along the M62.
Around half a million people descended on the city during the spectacular two weeks of music and events coinciding with the hosting of the continental music event. Liverpool Council said it had surpassed its initial targets of 100,000 visitors and now is turning its focus on how it can maximise the legacy of having the eyes of the world on the city.
Such is the success of the city stepping in to hold the major music event on behalf of Ukraine, this year’s edition has been dubbed by some as the best Eurovision ever. Former Mayor Joanne Anderson described Eurovision as one of the “city’s greatest triumphs.”
