Movie Premiere

What happens if you mix a day in London, two teenage girls and a bit of luck together?

You get one of the best days possible!

But lets start from the beginning: After sleeping in after what feels like a hundred years of early mornings, my friend and I had breakfast and headed to Central London. We actually managed to get to Buckingham Palace in time to see the guard change without even planning it. I have to say, it was nice but not really interesting.
Then we went down Birdcage Walk straight towards Westminster with the famous Big Ben. Which means a private photoshoot of course. And lets not forget about the squirrels in St.James Park that like humans more than I do sometimes.

Actually getting through the crowds of tourists on the Westminster Bridge is a task itself, but you feel so much better once you break free and have some room to breath. Taking a little detour along the Thames past the London Eye towards the Golden Jubilee Bridge leaded us right towards the National Gallery and Trafalgar Square. After a little meal deal we went to see a little part of the Gallery; the Im- and Expressionism of the 19th century. after all, it's nearly impossible to see everything in one go.

What came after that however was the real highlight of our day. At Leicester Square we saw a group of people behind barriers waiting for someone. Quickly we figured out it was the premiere of Ed Sheerans movie "jumpers for goalposts" about his three shows at Wembley Station earlier this year. After a short trip to the M&Ms shop and a walk through China Town we came back and decided we could wait and see.

And again it proved that asking nicely is the best way of getting what you want. We actually got into the divided boots right along the green carpet. Right across from us were the standing places of the press, which means famous people were stopping in front of us to get interviewed. And let me tell you, waiting and freezing out there was totally worth what happened. Not only did we see Ed Sheeran himself (though we didn't get a photo with him, but that's ok), but also other invited guests like Justin Bieber, Maisie Williams, Olly Murs, the new Spiderman and different youtubers. That alone was amzing enough, but towards the end, when the promis already went inside or left, one of the managers of the event came to us and gave us free cards for the premiere. Yes, we actually got to see it for free.

Inside Ed came on stage after a quick introduction and between answering fan questions from twitter he gave live performances from free songs.
The film itself was very interesting, even if I wouldn't normally go and see it in a cinema. You get a view into Ed's private backstage life, his friendship with Elton John and how amazing it is to be on stage, to feel the adrenalin, to be famous. It makes you wish to experience it just once for yourself. And of course, you want to be friends with Ed even more after watching it and seeing how much he cares for his team, family and friends.

Outside I ran into Niki from NikiNSammy (at least I think it was Niki) and I was my awkward little self asking for a selfie. Because we were tired we headed straight to Piccadilly Circus and then down to Buckingham Palace and to Victoria Station to get on our bus home.

I really don't know what to say. I still can't believe it happened to be honest. But here I am, and I can say that was the most amazing day I ever had.
