Ed Sheeran flew the flag for Britain at the Grammy Awards scooping Best Song for his hit Thinking Out Loud.

The flame-haired singer was presented with his award by music legend Stevie Wonder, who joked no one else on the stage could read the card as it was in braille.

Wonder then delivered a serious message telling the audience: "I just want to say we need to make everything accessible to every person with a disability."

Watch Wonder's braille joke in full below:

Sheeran was hugged by his friend Taylor Swift, who was also nominated in the same category for her hit Blank Space, when the winner was announced.

He thanked his parents, saying: "They have flown over the past four years to come to the Grammys and every time they go: 'Maybe next year!'

"If you would have told my 11-year-old, eight-year-old, any age, that I would have received an award from Stevie Wonder I'd have been chuffed, so thank you very much."

It was the second award of the night for Sheeran who also scooped Best Pop Solo Performance for Thinking Out Loud.
