Conchita Wurst's Eurovision victory was truly heartwarming television and one in the eye for more closed-minded sections of the European community.
Europe has fallen in love with the drag queen and her Shirley Bassey-esque 'Rise Like a Phoenix' stormed to victory, beating all the bookies favourites to take the Song Contest to Austria in 2015.
Here are some of the best reactions to the win on Twitter.
It's only a song contest but tonight it showed talent can overcome prejudice and ignorance. Well done Conchita - I am glad I saw that moment
