Graham Norton and Eurovision 2013 presenter Petra Mede host a special concert to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Eurovision Song Contest.
London's Eventim Apollo Hammersmith is the venue for this official anniversary event, which features some of the contest's most iconic songs performed by their original artists, including Brotherhood of Man, Johnny Logan, Dana International, Lordi and reigning winner Conchita. Arguably the contest's most iconic interval act, Riverdance make an appearance too. Other winners amongst the 15 performers from 13 countries include Nicole, Loreen, Herreys, Dima Bilan, the Olsen Brothers, Anne-Marie David, Bobbysocks and Emmelie de Forest.
Rosa Lopez performs a medley of some of Spain's best Eurovision entries, while Natasha St-Pier represents France with one of the country's biggest Eurovision hits, Je N'ai Que Mon Ame.
The programme is a co-production between the BBC and the European Broadcasting Union and will be broadcast in over 20 countries.
