Love it ! He’s a Cheeky boy isn’t he !

I watch #Eurovision for the spectacle and the farce and in #Eurovision 2024 there was plenty of both - I’m glad that it ended up being a contest between #switzerland & #croatia because if either #israel or #ukraine had won from public votes it would not have been a song contest

2 out of 3 was good! Xx

#Eurovision2024 came down to a battle between Freddie (Nemo) for #Switzerland and New Romantic Adam (Baby Lasagna) for #Croatia

My top 3 in #Eurovision2024 in any order are #Switzerland #France and #Austria

#Austria could come from last to first with a #EUROVISION classic #Eurovision2024

We’ve had Freddie and now we have Adam Ant #Eurovision2024 #Croatia

This #Eurovision2024 surely belongs to #Switzerland and memories of Freddie Mercury regenerated in Nemo

Loving the creative inspiration for the UK entry in #Eurovision2024 - let’s use the image of a filthy public shower room! That will get everyone onboard!

Buckingham Palace has announced that His Majesty The King will retain patronage of the Royal Opera House and The Royal Opera.  
In was also announced that His Majesty will take on his late mother’s long-standing patronage of The Royal Ballet.
