The Scottish star, from Blackburn in West Lothian, performed alongside the likes of Lionel Richie and Bonnie Tyler. Boyle said: "It was a huge honour to meet Pope Francis and at the Vatican. "To be at the Vatican meeting the Pope was such a humbling experience and to be asked to take part in his Christmas concert was a true honour. "I have to pinch myself at how lucky I am and ten years on I'm still having the most fantastic time with these incredible opportunities. I don't and won't ever take this for granted."
