can you identify this caterpillar?

Hi all, :D
              Saw this in my garden yesterday, it is about 25 cms long (1 inch) No idea whai it might be, I have looked at several caterpillar ID web sights & have had no luck identifying it. Any body got any ideas?

 Thanks to Chrissie & fork for such prompt replies, How would we manage without all these knowledgeable people on this site?

                                                              Regards, Adrian.
