Councillors in Northumberland have thrown their support behind neighbours in Newcastle in their bid to host the Eurovision Song Contest.
A few weeks after it was confirmed that the city had made the shortlist of potential hosts, members of Northumberland County Council unanimously agreed to back the bid and said it could have a hugely positive impact on the region as a whole.
Coun Wendy Pattison, cabinet member for adult wellbeing at the county council, tabled a motion at full council on Wednesday calling for Northumberland to back Newcastle.
