The Eurovision Song Contest began in 1956 with only seven entrants - hard to imagine compared to the 26 now - but the UK wasn't among them.
It was the following year that the UK made its Eurovision debut with plucky Patricia Bredin singing 'All', a song that lasted less than two mintues, and came seventh… out of ten.
The UK didn't compete the following year but was back in 1959 with Pearl Carr and Teddy Johnson's 'Sing Little Birdie' which came second (a position that we've found regularly over the decades!).
