The Netherlands' Duncan Laurence has won the 2019 Eurovision Song Contest with his song Arcade.
He had been the bookmakers' favourite to win, and came through to the top of the leaderboard with 492 points after the public vote.
The UK's Michael Rice came bottom, after getting just three points from the public vote, and a total of 16 points for Bigger Than Us.
Laurence said: "Here's to dreaming big, this is to music first, always."
The last time The Netherlands won was 1975. The audience joined in as Laurence performed the track again at the end of the show.
Congrats to the Netherlands: I didn't realise it was so long since they last won!
I was quite pleased to see that Norway came 5th: they always seem to do well. And, as for the UK: we were also there .
