Former One Direction star Louis Tomlinson was met by a sea of fans at an Edinburgh shopping centre on Friday as part of a special album cover signing.
The 30-year-old paid a special visit to the HMW at Ocean Terminal this week as part of a special UK shop tour to meet fans and sign the cover of his new album Faith In The Future.
Dozens of fans rushed to the Leith shopping centre to grab a quick chat and picture with Louis, who also visited HMW stores in Glasgow, London and Manchester.

The initial visit to the capital was postponed last month when the English singer and songwriter broke his arm in New York and was forced to cancel his upcoming gigs.
Surprisingly, it wasn't the singer's first appearance at Ocean Terminal having visited the same store two years ago for a similar album signing. In 2020, scores of fans queued up to meet Louis following the release of his album Walls.
Tweeting on Friday afternoon, HMV Ocean Terminal said: "Who's getting excited? Everyone coming down to the event today we'll remind you to collect your album and wristbands at the counter. And we'd advise your here extra early to get your place in the queue as it's growing rapidly."
Four hours later, they added: "And then he was gone!! Thanks to everyone who came to meet Louis Tomlinson today down @hmvedinburgh. Have a safe journey home."
Fans were quick to share their pictures with Louis on social media after the signing. One said: "Louis smiling at us waving at him yesterday at the signing in Edinburgh!"
Another took the time to ask Louis about his arm injury, saying: "I asked louis at the Edinburgh signing today how was his arm, he said it’s quite sore. I told him no wonder since he had two signings back to back today + other dates before this; and thanked him for doing them nevertheless."
