A late Easter helped boost UK retail sales to a 6.9% growth rate for the year, the highest since May 2004.
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) said retail sales volumes jumped by 1.3% on the March figure.
A consensus among economists had forecast the rise to be around 0.5% on the month and 5.2% on the year.
