I like this solution best, because I can easily use it in a select list by appending 'as <label>'. I am not sure how to do this with the solution of @Ritesh.

This is better than the accepted answer because this option also handles un-escaping XML reserverd characters such as <, >, &, etc. which FOR XML PATH('') will automatically escape.
