The Eurovision Song Contest 1963 was the eighth edition held on 23 March 1963 at the BBC Television Centre in London. The United Kingdom had stepped in because France, who had won the 1962 contest, could not afford to stage it. It was hosted by Katie Boyle, who was making her second appearance as presenter. The contest was won for the first time by Denmark with the song Dansevise performed by the husband and wife team of Grethe & Jørgen Ingmann. Big stars took part in 1963, like Esther Ofarim for Switzerland, Nana Mouskouri for Luxembourg and Francoise Hardy for Monaco.

| - The Eurovision Song Contest 1963 was the eighth edition held on 23 March 1963 at the BBC Television Centre in London. The United Kingdom had stepped in because France, who had won the 1962 contest, could not afford to stage it. It was hosted by Katie Boyle, who was making her second appearance as presenter. 16 countries took part this year. The contest was organized in 2 different studios: the host, audience and scoreboard in one and the performers and orchestra in the other. Each song had its own unique staging, and the change of set was done very quickly. Because of that, rumours arose that the performances were pre-recorded which later turned out to be untrue. The contest was won for the first time by Denmark with the song Dansevise performed by the husband and wife team of Grethe & Jørgen Ingmann. Big stars took part in 1963, like Esther Ofarim for Switzerland, Nana Mouskouri for Luxembourg and Francoise Hardy for Monaco.
