Today is a very special day for Engelbert. It's his birthday! (woohoo)
He already holds the record for being the eldest male Eurovision competitor, and today he celebrates his 76th birthday, the same age as one of the delightful Grannies from the Russian Babushki.
So why not join us in celebrating this momentous occasion?
First up, we're treating this very special blog as an e-card to Engelbert so leave your birthday wishes below and we'll get them to The Hump.
We also have an exclusive video recorded especially for our UK representative with some Eurovision faces both past and present...
