Date label and current date in same cell

[Lost in Microbiology]

I have a worksheet where I want to have the current date with a label in the
same cell.

Date: 01/01/2008

I tried ="Date:"&Today() but it just gave me Date:39473.

Thanks for any thoughts.

="Date:"&Text(Today(), "dd/mm/yyyy")

or even formt the cell as

"Date:"dd/mm/yyyyy

and just enter the date or the date formula
