'It's very emotional - If I see Ukrainian flags and big support I just want to cry'

This weekend is the Eurovision grand final, and we now know which countries will be competing for the Eurovision trophy in Liverpool.

For Ukrainian refugees living in Leicestershire, the Eurovision Song Contest brings back memories and also brings hope that the war raging back home is not forgotten.

Julia, Vovo and Paulina are watching the preparations in Liverpool from their new home in Countesthorpe. Last year they were homeless and travelling through Europe.

Reporter Helen McCarthy asks them about about watching last year's triumph by Kalush Orchestra, and how the last year has been for them.
