At Eurovision
On the evening of the final Katy Bødtger performed 4th in the running order, following and preceding. In style the song owed more to stage musicals than to contemporary music, and Bødtger complimented its rather quaint, old-fashioned sound by performing in a 19th-century fashioned gown, complete with bonnet and parasol. At the close of voting "Det var en yndig tid" had received 4 points, placing Denmark joint 10th of the 13 entries. The Danish jury awarded its highest mark to contest winners.The contest was televised on DR1, and on radio station Program 2, both with commentary by Sejr Volmer-Sørensen.
