Ukraine has won this year's Eurovision Song Contest in the northern Italian city of Turin.
The country was represented by the folk-rap band Kalush Orchestra which was one of the favourites going into the competition, having received a massive wave of public support after the Russian invasion.
Coming in second place, the UK’s Sam Ryder with his Space Man – a big comeback after the UK received 0 points last year.
