Introducing the “Song 9” Rule. This year, to honour the late, great and possibly the most iconic Eurovision commentator ever, Sir Terry Wogan, at the beginning of song number 9 in the final, you must drink a toast to “Song 9”.

(His advice to Graham Norton when he took over the commentating was to never start drinking until Song 9.)
