    I have been unfortunate (or fortunate) enough to be housed in a hotel overlooking Leicester Square of London. I am too old to know who this red haired guy is. Can someone please identify this famous? musician?

    Gawd dammit. Who the buck is Ed Sheeran? LOL (Looking up Wikipedia right now.)

    UPDATE: I'd commit suicide before trading places with him. It's horrible to see what these kinds of celebrities have to do to service their fans. My hotel room on the second floor happened to look down exactly where he arrived in his celebrity van.

    All I'll say he's more famous than you or me are, even with ginger hair.

    I thought it was their* prime minister. Or some guy from East Enders?

    (*my --- except I emigrated)

    Oh wait... you mean the young red-haired guy, not the bigger guy standing on the right. Sorry. Doesn't look like anyone.

    This thread is funny xD

    And yes that's Ed Sheeran. I'm 25 and only know him based on music played through the radio, and music my wife listens to.

    The big guy is his bodyguard. Listened to his music. (It was a stupid video concert... I think he left shortly after the selfies with fans.) James Blunt lite?

    I just looked up Ned Sherrin...why...suffice it to say... because i can.
    Anyway, back to Ned Sherrin. He went to Sexey School. How cool is that!! What a pick up line. Much better than my literal ice-breaker line where I literally crushed a handful of ice (previously crushed FYI).

    British bodyguards look all proper and polite. But big.

    His music is popular with young ladies. It's hard to tell how many people were there were just from these pictures, but that crowd doesn't seem especially large or wild to me (at least compared to other things I've seen on video or have read secondhand accounts of).
