Former Eurythmics star Annie Lennox has married for the third time.

The Sweet Dreams singer tied the knot with a doctor, Mitch Besser, in London, in what her spokesperson described as “a private ceremony with friends and family present”.

It was reported the ceremony took place on a boat on the River Thames with guests including Oscar winner Colin Firth and comedian Ruby Wax.

The Aberdeen-born star posted a photo of her wedding flowers to her Facebook page for fans to see.

Lennox was announced as an OBE in the 2010 New Year’s Honours list for her work in fighting Aids and poverty in Africa.

She has sold more than 80 million albums worldwide with Eurythmics and as a solo star, winning a string of awards including Grammys, Brits, Ivor Novellos and an Oscar.

Her first marriage to German Hare Krishna devotee Radha Ramen was short-lived and she married Israeli film and record producer Uri Frutmann. The couple had two daughters before they divorced in 2000.
