Susan Boyle is to perform for the Pope during his visit to Scotland next month.
She will perform as part of the pontiff's open air celebration of mass in Glasgow's Bellahouston Park on September 16.
The 49-year-old, from Blackburn in West Lothian, is expected to perform three songs, including her smash hit I Dreamed A Dream, which catapulted her to fame on Britain's Got Talent.
She said: "To be able to sing for the Pope is a great honour and something I have always dreamed of. It's indescribable.
"I've always wanted to sing for His Holiness and I can't really put into words my happiness that this wish has come true at last.
"I am humbled and honoured by this invitation and I hope I can do my best."
