Welcome to Stoke-on-Trent
"heart of the Potteries"
Stoke-on-Trent, colloquially called Stoke, is a central England city famed for its pottery industry with many museums and art galleries dedicated to the craft of ceramics. The Potteries Museum & Art Gallery has a wide variety of decorative arts and local ceramics, plus a complete World War II Spitfire on display. At the Gladstone Pottery Museum, visitors enter a former Grade II listed restored pottery furnace to learn about the craft. The World of Wedgwood showcases a museum and ceramics of a famous English potter. At Middleport Pottery, a genuine Victorian factory complex houses tours and workshops about pottery and ceramics.
More unique attractions can be found at the Trentham Estate, where visitors walk formal Italian Gardens, navigate a rope course and see wild Barbary macaque monkeys inhabiting a forest. Outdoor adventures here can be found along the Heritage Canoe Trail, which departs from Westport Lake and follows canals eastward all the way to Froghall Wharf. Wild family fun can be had at Waterworld indoor tropical waterpark with slides and splash rides.

The Result
Countries receiving most 12 points / Norway and Sweden, 4
Countries giving 12 points to the winner / Spain and Turkey
Countries receiving points from most juries/ Kosovo and Spain, 20
Highest placing country not scoring a top mark / Andorra in 3rd with 10 points from Cyprus as highest mark
Lowest placing country scoring a top mark / Belgium in 25th, getting 12 points from Lebanon
It was very close in the top five, but the big male voices from San Marino came out on top with the female soloists from Norway and Andorra taking the silver and bronze respectively. Spain and Sweden rounded out the top 5.
San Marino made its debut in GM10 with a solid 4th place finish. However, after only 5 participations they quit the contest and didn't return until GM31. It then took only another 5 participations, before the tiny country could call themselves Global Music Champions! Appassionante, their first champion, could be called a female version of Il Volo, so it seems that this sound works well for San Marino. They have, however, also triumphed with a more mainstream pop sound, when Tony Maiello took home the gold in GM80. San Marino has now taken part 68 times, and has a qualifying percentage envied by many, as they have been to 52 finals, reaching the top 10 in 26 of those and winning a total of 6 medals! This gold medal is the 1st for José Ramon, who took over the Sanmarinese delegation in GM98. Well done San Marino, Il Volo and José Ramon!
