Austria triumphs at the most politically-charged Eurovision ever

Millions of viewers across Europe tuned in to see who would take home the crown, as Austria emerged victorious in tonight's Eurovision grand final following two semi-final shows earlier this week. Hampshire-based girl group Remember Monday took to the St Jakobshalle arena stage to represent the UK, performing their song What the Hell Just Happened, and yet despite a high energy performance the odds were not in their favour. Israel's Yuval Raphael meanwhile faced a barrage of hate, with protesters booing her and clashing with riot cops in Basel.
