Music star Ed Sheeran has arrived at the High Court for the start of a three-week legal battle over the copyright of his hit song Shape of You.

The singer-songwriter, wearing dark suit and tie, appeared in Court 15 of the Rolls Building in central London.

Sheeran is involved in a dispute with two songwriters who claim the 2017 hit rips off parts of their song Oh Why.

The hearing before Mr Justice Zacaroli is due to start at 11.15am.
