Fans of Ed Sheeran have been treated to a "surprise" gig at a pub in his home county where he was launching his new single.
The Thomas Wolsey in Ipswich town centre has been re-branded as The Old Phone - the title of Sheeran's latest track.
The pop-up pub will be known as The Old Phone for two weeks, before it reverts to its actual name.
Music-lovers have been speaking of their delight at seeing the global star perform on their doorstep.
Rachel Clements, 28, from Stowmarket, said she was "very excited that he's doing something this small, in our home town".
Ms Clements said she was hoping to hear his latest track and new material from his Play album, which includes a song called Old Phone.
"We had one of his songs as our wedding song last year, so in a way I'm hoping he'll do that," she added.
Ms Clements was among the many fans who responded to an Ed Sheeran WhatsApp message to get tickets.
People were also waiting to see if they might be let in if there was space.
Alyssa Ali, 20, from Florida in the US, had been in London where she has been studying for a month.
She fortuitously decided to come to Ipswich this weekend, as part of her travels around the UK.
Sheeran grew up in Framlingham, about 15 miles north of Ipswich, but he is known for being an avid Ipswich Town fan and has sponsored their shirts, and he played gigs at other pubs in the town before he became famous.
"I love Ed and have been a fan for a decade," said Ms Ali.
"So I had to come to his hometown and go around Ipswich, and I was here yesterday, and then he decided to pop-up here in this pub, and my hotel's eight minutes walk from there, so we ran over here as soon as I found out, hoping to get in.
"I'm so nervous because I don't know if I'll be able to get in. I'm just so excited to be in his presence again."
She said she was very much looking forward to hearing his new songs.
Michael Marron, 38, from Ipswich, was also hoping to see Sheeran perform.
"Delighted, we saw him do this show in America and we were wondering if he would do something like this in Ipswich.
"It's great that he's come back to Ipswich and he's entertaining the people of Suffolk."
Sheeran is known for playing impromptu gigs in Suffolk's county town, including one on the Town Hall steps in 2022.
"It's a buzz, and he always goes the extra mile for the people of Suffolk," said Mr Marron.
"I remember he was here not so long ago and he gifted a guitar to a primary school child. It's great to see celebrities do that."
It is understood music bloggers, influencers and selected fans were invited or picked at random to attend the gig.
Last week, the musician announced a a run of three gigs at Ipswich Town's Portman Road in July. He is also a minority stakeholder in the club, which has just been relegated from the Premier League.
The Thomas Wolsey is named after one of Ipswich's most famous sons - Henry VIII's right hand man Cardinal Wolsey, whose statue is just along the road from the pub.
