Ozzy Osbourne was so proud of where he came from, and in return we were proud of him. Having met him and all of Black Sabbath it was always like talking to your Brummie uncle, kind, sarcastic, warm.

I want Kartal to win, but that was mad unfair and any win now seems like it will be marred. Bring back the line judges.

My son is 20 tomorrow and am reminded of midwives who let my husband stay beyond the visiting time, pulled the curtain round and let us watch Eurovision together on the ward, 20 years ago.

"Fair is foul, and foul is fair". Good luck to everyone taking their first GCSE today, I will miss my son's random Macbeth pronouncements while undertaking mundane household jobs after today. "Out brief candle".
