Denmark wins 2013 Eurovision Song Contest

Denmark has won the 2013 Eurovision Song Contest.

Emmelie de Forest's 'Only Teardrops' emerged victorious at this year's competition, ending the night with 281 points.

Azerbaijan's Farid Mammadov was runner-up, with his song 'Hold Me' earning 234 points, while Ukraine gained 214 points for Zlata Ognevich's 'Gravity' to come third.

Ireland's entry Ryan Dolan only picked up five points, leaving them last, while the UK's Bonnie Tyler reached 19th place with 'Believe In Me'.

Tyler's placing is an improvement on Englebert Humperdinck's result last year, as the crooner came second to last with his song 'Love Will Set You' free in Baku, Azerbaijan.

However, it falls short of Blue's 11th place success for the UK at the 2011 Eurovision Song Contest in Düsseldorf, Germany.
