Concatenating row values into one grouped column

Sometimes, small things create alot of problems. Like, a core issue discussed in here.
Consider we have a table as;

Declare @vTable Table(id int,val varchar(100))

Insert into @vTable Values (1,'Atif')
Insert into @vTable Values (1,'Sheikh')
Insert into @vTable Values (2,'Asif')
Insert into @vTable Values (2,'Sheikh')
Insert into @vTable Values (2,'Sheikh2')
Insert into @vTable Values (2,'Sheikh3')

 
Now we need to concatenate values as;
 
ID      Vals
1       Atif Sheikh
2       Asif Sheikh Sheikh2 Sheikh3
 
 
There may be alot of ways to perform this but using XML Path here is a savior. The query is;
 
Select Distinct id,
Stuff((Select ' ' + [val] from @vTable t2 where id = Main.ID for XML Path('')),1,1,'') as Vals
from @vTable Main
