An iconic Belfast music shop has deemed Ed Sheeran a ‘true gent’ after the chart-topper popped by the city centre store for a quick purchase on Friday - and to make some donations of his own.

The music superstar Ed Sheeran has met young people and teachers during a visit to Belfast. His visit to the city was part of the launch of the Ed Sheeran foundation, which supports the teaching of music in schools. It aims to improve access to music for young people by providing instruments and opportunities for performances.
