Christmas special filming

Rod filmed his Christmas special at Stirling Castle last night.

Rod had invited Kylie Minogue, Michael Buble and Nicola Benedetti to join him for the show, which was filmed in the Castle’s great hall.

Tickets for the exclusive evening were distributed via an online lottery and the dress code was “dinner jackets, kilts and cocktail dresses”.

During the evening, Rod and Kylie duetted on a big band version of Let It Snow while Rod sang another stunning rendition of Auld Lang Syne with Edinbugh’s Loud and Proud choir.

Kylie performed with a children’s troupe on Silent Night, while Michael Buble sang White Chistmas.

Gerard Butler and Billy Connolly were in the audience
For the TV special, but many other ticket holders had to watch the show via monitors in an overflow room.
