Ed Sheeran signs guitar made from Ipswich Town steel

An electric guitar built using old steel from a football stand has been signed by musician Ed Sheeran.

Ipswich Town's electrician, Christopher Rush, made it using conduit tubing that was due to be sent for scrap.

Town fan Sheeran wrote "play this guitar, love from Ed" on the instrument when he played his live-streamed gig at the Portman Road stadium last month.

It was hoped the sale of the guitar would raise funds for the club's Community Trust.
