Nineteen-year-old Olivia Ingham was among the 80,000 fans who queued for seven hours to see the singer at the stadium on Tuesday.

Keen to get as close as possible to the former One Direction band member, Olivia and her friend Steph Hewitt (18) were lucky enough to secure tickets in one of the standing pods close to the stage. And it was when the chart topping star strode out on the catwalk section of the stage that Olivia threw her pink heart shaped sunglasses up to him.

Olivia Ingham could never have imagined that her idol Harry Styles would wear her sunglasses on stage at the Wembley gig where she was in the crowd.

Media student Olivia said: “He strode along the stage and appeared to be looking right at me, and he smirked because I must have looked very shocked. That’s when I thought ‘I have to throw him my sunglasses.’ ”

Not only did Harry catch the sunglasses, he wore them to strut around while singing his hit song Music for A Sushi Restaurant, before returning them to an ecstatic Olivia.

“It all seemed to go by in a flash, “ said Olivia who even managed to grab some ace photos of the singer in her Primark ‘sunnies’ which she had customised with some diamante sparkles.

And Steph caught the entire spectacle on video as a lasting memory for the pals. A fan of Harry since she first saw him perform with One Direction on The X Factor TV reality show when she was only six, this is the fourth gig Olivia, who lives with her mum and dad Kevin and Jenette, has attended.
