Ed Sheeran will tonight perform live in London’s Leicester Square for the premiere of his concert film, Jumpers For Goalposts.

The 24-year-old singer-songwriter will take to the green carpet for a special performance which will be beamed via satellite into cinema screens around the world.

Clearly excited ahead of the release, Sheeran tweeted “Premiere day” before posting: “I'm so excited for you guys to see this movie. Check your local cinema listings wherever worldwide, it's only gonna be shown this weekend.”

Titled Jumpers For Goalposts – because Sheeran said he “keep[s] moving them” – the film features footage from his three night Wembley Stadium residency which saw him perform a surprise duet with Sir Elton John.

Fans will also see a personal glimpse into life backstage and on the road, and reflections from Sheeran and those closest to him on his journey to world wide stardom.

It has been a busy week for the Lego House singer in the run-up to the premiere.

He received an honorary doctorate from the University Campus Suffolk for his "outstanding contribution to music", before heading to Mills Meadow care home in his home town of Framlingham, Suffolk to open a new suite which has been named in his honour.
