Concert For Ukraine: Refugee stories centre stage as show raises £12m

BBC News says the moving words of Ukrainian refugees and a performance by the country’s 2016 Eurovision-winning singer provided powerful moments as a star-studded concert in Birmingham raised £12.2m.

Pop superstars like Ed Sheeran, Camila Cabello and Emeli Sande were among the artists at the Concert For Ukraine.

Jamala gave an impassioned rendition of her Eurovision-winning track 1944.

And the stories of two Ukrainians were put centre stage when they were read by actors Tamsin Greig and Eddie Marsan.

Scottish violinist Nicola Benedetti accompanied the actors as they delivered the poignant accounts of fleeing the Russian invasion.
