VIDEO: Fans sing loud as Ed Sheeran wows Croker

Ed Sheeran dazzled tens of thousands of devoted fans in Croke Park last night, every inch the honorary Irishman.

Wearing his trademark check shirt, runners, and a slightly more straggly beard, he took to the stage with an explosion of colour behind him. “My name is Ed and you have to sing along, and dance along, and clap along,” he encouraged. He didn’t need to, as every lyric was sung right back at him.

Just one man and his guitar, but he filled the stage and his songs filled the night sky, along with the screams of thousands of fans as the evening sun shone down.
