Deadline reports:
The 67th Eurovision Song Contest kicked off with a bang on Tuesday night in the UK with the first of two semi-finals.
The city of Liverpool in northern England is playing host to the event this year, on behalf of last year’s winners Ukraine – whose culture was visible throughout proceedings, as it will be all week. A moving interval dance paid tribute to the country who are unable to host this year due to war.
The newly-crowned King and Queen made a surprise appearance – one of their first since their Coronation on Saturday – in the the opening sequence before the first semi-final began at the M&S Bank arena in Liverpool.
