One of Britain's most popular musicians, Ed Sheeran took to the stage on the final day of the Platinum Jubilee celebrations in London. Sheeran performed for thousands of fans in front of the Buckingham Palace to mark the end of the four-day celebrations in honour of Queen Elizabeth II and her 70 years of reign in Britain.

The 31-year-old musician, who recently welcomed a second daughter with his wife Cherry Seaborn, sang his chart-topping hit 'Perfect' as images of the queen's late husband, Prince Philip, flashed behind. The Duke of Edinburgh died in April 2021 days before his 100th birthday.
