British viewers are getting used to coming towards the bottom of the Eurovision Song Contest results. This year Britain came 24th (from 27) but just pipped the French entry, which came 25th. The song "N'oubliez-pas" (Don't forget), about World War I memories, was performed by Lisa Angell, who apologised for the result, saying she was "ashamed", not of her performance, but of the score it received. The British song was criticised as "old-fashioned", a comedy entry even and the French "chanson" style clearly has no appeal beyond the hexagon. Sweden, who won for the 6th time. Will Mans Zelmerlow emulate illustrious previous Swedish winner ABBA?
