A pensioner got into the Eurovision spirit 51 years after attending the final the last time the UK hosted.
Peggy Batchelor, who is a resident at Croxteth Park Care Home on Moss Way, has been celebrating and reminiscing as Eurovision comes to Liverpool. The 94-year-old said she was in the audience in the 1972 Eurovision Contest in Edinburgh as a family member was in a band and given tickets.
The contest was held at the Usher Hall on March 25 and was hosted by Scottish ballet dancer Moira Shearer. Eighteen countries took part in the contest, the same countries as the previous year and the winner was Luxembourg with the song "Après toi", performed by Vicky Leandros.
