Would be grateful if anyone could ID this caterpillar that I found in the garden this morning, guess it must have been about 10cm or 4" long, was a beast of a beastie...

I live in central europe if it helps, not really a macro shot though but this section is usually amazing at ID'ing bugs I do not recognise... Thanks in advance

Thanks all, I did some research on t'interweb and closest thing I could find was tomato hornworm which develops into the five spotted hawkmoth... Took ages to find anything though :)

Thanks again for all your help and kind words...
