On Thursday 18 March Liverpool's first five Cultural Champions were announced at a ceremony in Liverpool Town Hall.

The audience, led by presenter Dean Sullivan and the Lord Mayor, Mike Storey, welcomed the champions into the lime light for what looks to be an exciting year ahead.
The cultural champions keep a blog of their experiences in the city which is well worth a read. Click here to have a read.
