The grand final of the Eurovision Song Contest is going to kick off in Basel, Switzerland in just under two hours. Behind the scenes at the St Jakobshalle arena, the 26 finalists are likely adding the final touches to their stage make-up, as they limber up for their big moment.

The Grand Final was overshadowed by a failed stage invasion during a performance by Israeli singer and entrant Yuval Raphael.

Confrontation said to have started when police intervened to stop altercation after two men rushed towards people waving Israeli flags
