Traffic is chaotic in Ipswich this morning following a surprise gig by Ed Sheeran at the Waterfront.

The roads surrounding the Marina are facing heavy delays, including Fore Street, Fore Hamlet, and Duke Street.

The Suffolk-raised singer announced the gig at the last minute on Thursday night, in a post which said: "Ipswich! 9am at the Waterfront, see you there x"

He mentioned Orange Amps, which are boldly coloured and have been established since 1968.

Crowds gathered, swarming the waterfront and likely leading to the traffic issues as fans travelled from across Suffolk, hoping to get a glimpse.

Delays are expected and drivers should plan their journeys accordingly.
