Ed Sheeran : At the end of the show I was on stage singing with Paul McCartney. It was incredible, to be honest. While we were doing the national anthem, Stevie Wonder was behind me – literally right behind me – playing it on his harmonica. It was such a surreal experience.
Later, I met the Queen, which was a real honour. There’s a funny picture of me shaking her hand and she looks very happy. She said, ‘Hello, how are you?’ and I was like, ‘What’s going on? Happy Jubilee.’
