Residents of Ukraine's capital, Kyiv, celebrated their country winning the Eurovision song contest on Sunday morning.

Ukraine's Kalush Orchestra were deserving winners - not just as brave representatives of their country, but also supplying a clever mix of folk music and hip-hop with an energetic performance.
