Leeds and Sheffield are both in the running to host the 2023 event of Eurovision.
Eurovision fever has been evident on the streets of Yorkshire after Leeds and Sheffield made the shortlist to host next year's song contest.
Toby Lipatti-Mesme said it was "definitely good news", adding Leeds "deserved the spotlight on the city". In Sheffield, builder Mark Loosemore said while he was not bothered about Eurovision itself, he saw the benefit for the city. Jayden Kelly said while he was not a Eurovision fan, he felt it could give local acts a platform to succeed.
"Amazing, I can't wait. We are waiting for it, hopefully we get chosen," she said. "I can't keep my excitement in. Sheffield is an amazing city." Oliver Coppard, South Yorkshire mayor, said "the only correct choice is Sheffield and South Yorkshire."
