"At Amazon we like to do things a little differently, and Carols by Kindlelight was one of the most unique concerts this Christmas" said Vice President of Kindle Europe, Jorrit Van der Meulen.

"We're delighted to have given customers the opportunity to enjoy the spirit of Christmas at London's iconic Abbey Road Studios.

Annie Lennox said she had a "fantastic time" taking part in the concert.

"It's always such a special experience to perform there (Abbey Road Studios) as the building is so resonant with British recording history, so I'm sure that the magic of the evening will be transported beautifully to a global audience."
