Answer 1

Answer above is correct, it is definitely a Ourapteryx Sambucaria or Swallow-Tailed Moth.  

They're nocturnal (as opposed to several moths who are diurnal, or day-flying) so you were lucky to see this one perched on your window-frame!

It's quite a common moth in the UK (except in the far north of Scotland) - in fact another Yahoo Answers member has also asked for an id on one of these today!

If you ever need to identify another interesting moth, try this wonderful website - you can search by keyword (ie yellow, or stripe) so you don't have to know the name or family of the moth to find out more info on it http://ukmoths.org.uk/index.php
