Ed Sheeran pens an emotional note ahead of Queen's Platinum Jubilee

Along with the photos, the singer also penned an emotional note and mentioned two decades ago he decide to pursue music after watching the Queen's Golden Jubilee on TV. He further penned he got a chance to perform at the Diamond Jubilee ceremony, which was held in 2012. He also added how his life "keeps coming full circle in lovely ways" as he is set to perform at the Platinum Jubilee celebration.

He wrote, "20 years ago I decided I wanted to pick up a guitar because I watched the Golden Jubilee on tv, saw Eric Clapton play Layla and said ‘that’s what I wanna do’. 10 years later I played The A Team at the Diamond Jubilee, and now 10 years on I’m playing the Platinum Jubilee this Sunday." "Life is weird how it keeps coming full circle in lovely ways. Tune in on Sunday and see ya there," he further added.
