Ed Sheeran has headed straight for the capital following two sell-out shows at Sunderland's Stadium of Light, to perform a tribute for Queen Elizabeth II at her Platinum Jubilee Pageant.
The pop music sensation has already performed to some 115,000 fans in the North East this weekend, but will perform on the world stage at around 5pm on Sunday with a tribute to the queen and her late husband, Prince Philip.
Sheeran will take to the streets of London shortly before the National Anthem is performed as today's carnival comes to a close - choosing to play hit song Perfect while various images of the pair married for 73 years fill the big screen behind him.
