Around 160,000 people were expected to attend the four day event which took place over the August Bank Holiday weekend.

The Suffolk superstar was ably supported by acts like Lewis Capaldi, Passenger, Lowestoft-based The Darkness and local act Caswell.

The gigs included all of the star’s biggest hits including Castle on the Hill, a tribute to his home county.

Here are some of the best pictures of Ed and his fans from those spectacular four nights.
