Bocelli leads Christmas carol sing-along

Celebrated Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli lead 14,000 Londoners in a world-record breaking Christmas carol sing-along at the World Premiere of Disney's 'A Christmas Carol' on Tuesday 3 November.

Live from a Christmas themed Leicester Square, Bocelli, who performs the closing song of the new film, linked up with St Paul’s Cathedral Choir on the Cathedral’s steps to lead the crowds across the capital via big screens at Oxford Circus, Regent Street, St Paul’s Cathedral and Leicester Square with a rousing performance of Silent Night. 

Following the sing-along, the World Premiere of Disney’s A Christmas Carol, took place in Leicester Square, at three of London’s leading cinemas. Jim Carrey, Colin Firth and Bob Hoskins, who star in the film, and Academy Award-winning filmmaker Robert Zemeckis walked the red carpet. You can see all the pictures from the premiere below...
