When if ever did Britain win the eurovision song contest and with what song?
The last time UK won the Eurovision Song Contest was 10 years ago (1997) and had highest points ever awarded to a winning country / song. The song was "Love Shine A Light" by Katrina and The Waves, written by Kimberly Rue. The venue, The Point in Dublin and was co-hosted by Ronan Keating from Boyzone. He performed a fantastic song that showed the band had also turned that corner from boyband to manband!





God, I have some memory... huh!





Apologies for the digression but I hope this answers your question.
