Ed Sheeran treated British service members and their families to an intimate show this week.

The "Shape of You" singer put on a special performance for troops at Dhekelia garrison in Cyprus.

Sheeran, 33, was in the Mediterranean country for the final two shows of his world-renowned Mathematics tour, but, despite his busy schedule, was keen to meet service personnel and their excited families on Sunday (Sept. 8).

He spent the afternoon speaking with soldiers, signing autographs, taking selfies and sharing stories, followed by an intimate acoustic performance held at Dhekelia rugby pitch.

The audience was treated to a medley of hits and expressed their excitement about the opportunity of meeting Sheeran, with one stating, “How lucky are we! I can’t believe it. It means a lot that someone like him would take the time to come and support us. We love you Ed.”

The visit concluded with Sheeran taking photos with families, before going to play the grand finale show to a sold-out, recording breaking Cyprus audience at Larnaca’s Land of Tomorrow venue.
