Spoilers galore ahead –

After a nail-biting finish, Sweden has won the Eurovision Song Contest, which was hosted in Liverpool on behalf of Ukraine.

The final was as weird and wonderful as it always is – pethaps a little more, considering it contained this moment.

Viewers were treated to the Princess of Wales playing a piano accompaniment to Stefania, the song that won last year’s Eurovision for Ukraine’s Kalush Orchestra.

She wasn’t the only royalty taking part.

While the votes were being counted, former Eurovision acts sang songs by Liverpool artists, including the almost compulsory anthem You’ll Never Walk Alone.

The whole Eurovision experience is widely reported to have been a success, with much of the UK being swept up by the music, the costumes, the high camp and the solidarity.

In many ways, the real winners are all of us for getting to see so much of Hannah Waddingham.

Of course, the Eurovision final is one of those nights that really focuses Twitter’s attention, and we’re sharing a fraction of the tweets that turned the timeline rainbow-coloured on Saturday.
