[WATCH] Maltese out in droves to welcome singing doctor

Hundreds of Maltese this afternoon drove to the Malta International Airport to welcome home singing doctor Gianluca Bezzina after yesterday's success at the Eurovision Song Contest held in Malmo, Sweden.

Flanked by PBS CEO Anton Attard, Bezzina carved his way through the arrivals lounge surrounded by security and police officers.

To while away the time as they waited for Gianluca's return, the halls of the MIA came to life with adults and children alike singing to the lyrics of Tomorrow.

His proud grandmother held tight to a banner reading 'Well done Gianluca and Tomorrow's team'. Due to an unexpected turn of events, Gianluca ended spending more time with ecstatic fans as the car he was supposed to travel home in had been locked and the chauffeur - his grandmother - was nowhere to be seen as she got lost in the crowd.
