France had won the contest in 1962 but they handed the honour of hosting the event to the United Kingdom because they believed hosting the event twice in a short space of time was not a good idea. The same thing happened when the Netherlands won in 1959 and refused to host it in 1960.
Interval Act
There was no interval act in 1963.
