Last night saw Ed Sheeran swap 90,000 seater stadiums for tiny London venue Under The Bridge - if you weren't one of the lucky Heart competition winners, here's what you missed.

There's seeing Ed Sheeran in concert, and then there's seeing him up close and personal, so near to him you can meet his eye, watch him strum each chord on his guitar, and literally breathe the same air as him.

And that was the reality for a few hundred Heart listeners and special guests last night.

Tens of thousands of people entered our competition to win tickets to Heart Live with Ed Sheeran, but only a fraction could be there.

Arriving at London's Under The Bridge, the atmosphere was electric, with fans treated to a set from Heart's Annaliese Dayes before the 27-year-old strode out on stage.

Dressed typically casually in a T-shirt and jeans, Ed got stuck in to a 45-minute set, pausing between tracks to thank his team for supporting him during a gruelling year-long tour - and getting back to work to put on this very special Heart performance.
