Leicester Square hosts a unique Betfair ABBA event before Eurovision final...

This year's Eurovision is set to be bigger than ever, and Betfair hosted a World Record Attempt in London's Leicester Square to celebrate this European institution.

ABBA fans from across Europe dusted off their flares, and sung their way through a rousing rendition of Waterloo in London's Leicester Square hoping to create a Guinness World Record for "The Largest Gathering of ABBA Impersonators".

The Eurovision extravaganza took place in Leicester Square on Thursday 14th May with over 150 ABBA's coming down and singing their way through ABBA's greatest hits!

Latest Eurovision odds...

Norway are favourites on Betfair to win the Eurovision Song Contest on Saturday, with contestant Alexander Rybak [2.24] to win with song 'Fairytale'.

Greece are the nearest challengers on [8.0], with Turkey [12.0], Bosnia and Herzegovina [14.0] and Azerbaijan [21.0] the only countries within touching distance at this stage.

Flying the flag for the UK is Jade Ewen, currently [16.0] - odds that suggest her song 'It's My Time' might carry an overly-optimistic title. One consolation is that the UK has only ever scored 'nil points' on one occasion and if the betting is anything to go by it seems unlikely Jade will be the second Brit to attain that infamy.
