    Ed completed his look with a black polo neck sweater and black jeans which he paired with colourful trainers. 

    After a four year stint without releasing solo music, Visiting Hours is Ed’s second single off his new album Equals.  

    The track is an ode to a passed love one; throughout the song, Ed theorises what he would do if he could contact the person he has dedicated the song to.

    Ed sang about time passing and how he has learnt life-long lessons from his departed friend.

    William and David Attenborough will also present a new BBC show about the environment featuring pioneers who have been recognised for finding innovative solutions to the most pressing climate issues.

    An exciting and star-studded group of internationally recognised performers, presenters and Earthshot Prize guests will be joining William and Kate.  

    The event was a celebration of the natural world, focussed on turning the current pessimism surrounding environmental issues into optimism by celebrating the people and places driving change – the first-ever Earthshot Prize Finalists and Winners.

    The stars of the show are the five inaugural winners of The Earthshot Prize which will celebrate the ingenuity of all 15 Earthshot Prize Finalists and their extraordinary work to tackle the challenges posed by climate change and the threats to our oceans, air, and land.

    Launched by Prince William and The Royal Foundation in October 2020, The Earthshot Prize has been inspired by President John F. Kennedy’s ‘Moonshot’ programme in the 1960’s, which united millions of people around the goal of reaching the moon.

    The Earthshot Prize aims to incentivise change and inspire collective action around our unique ability to innovate, problem solve and ultimately repair our planet over the next ten years.

    The Earthshot Prize was based on five ‘Earthshot’ goals: Protect and restore nature; Fix our climate; Clean our air; Revive our oceans; Build a waste free world. Five £1 million prizes will be awarded each year for the next 10 years, providing at least 50 solutions to the world’s greatest environmental problems by 2030.
