The Stuffed Animal at Wembley

Some of you might have noticed that there was a stuffed animal thrown on stage to Ed. And some of you might have seen that he tried to do...
Anyways, I was the girl who caught his attention during Mikes Crazy Mary solo.
Ed went on Mikes side when Mike came all the way to Boom. After I saw Ed having a smoke right in front of me, I knew I had the chance to give him that little stuffed animal I had for him/them. I wrote CROATIA LOVES YOU on its belly and (I'm) IN HIDING in the back, also ZAGREB REMEMBERS on its foreamrs.
Anyways, it was just like a little kid made it, a real kindergarten teacher
creation
So I wave at him, he sees me, comes over to the stage and nods to throw him the animal. I do it and he grabs it...tries to put it in his pants! White pants!!! haha, Steph and I just looked at each other and laughed. Then when the thing didnt fit in his pants :eek: He puts it on the speaker, still having a smoke and then he looks at it, reads what it says...im at this point still staring at him, no clue whats going on on Booms side (him and Mike soloing, haha). Ok, Ed looks at the animal, reads and looks over at me, says, I read it from his lips: oh; Croatia! With his ED look on his face and smiles, makes a fist and tappes his heart. I was in heaven! 
he totally remembers Zagreb and the amazing show they did there. 
In Munich my Croatian friends had a sign ZAGREB REMEMBERS, a twin to the one they made last year for Vienna, ZAGREB AWAITS. Eddie totally saw it during ALive in Munich, read it and aknowledged my saying: I remember too!
I was just going to share you one of my awesome Wembley stories and ask if anyone maybe took a picture when he grabbed the stuffed animal, or even better, when he tried to shove it down his pants. Or maybe a video or something. I know its probably a long shot cause most of you were looking at Mike and Boom when this occured, but I know some ppl have seen it and thought it was hilarious, which it was.
Id be very very thankful if anyone can help me out.
I will share my Mike story later *smiles*

he totally proved it in many different occasions.
I know, I half-got a wave off him in Dublin last year and it still brings a smile to my face thinking about it!

That was a GREAT MOMENT!
I saw it all - I was totally watching Ed that whole time...
When he tapped his fist over his heart, I remember thinking WOW - I wonder who he's looking at right now, they're REALLY lucky!
And it was YOU!!
That was a really sincere, special acknowledgment from him.

Mikes setlist and the looks, smiles, and eveything was just amazing afterwards...
was about 10 or so rows of people back at that point in line with Ed and saw him catch it as a glanced back from Mike and indeed he did try to squeeze down his pants, but when he looked at it on top of the speaker it had me wondering what it was about.

Dont make me cry now :( I miss you too, guys :(
im off to Budapest for the weekend, I wish I coulda been home so I know whats going on at shows, if I cant be there...
It is just nice to get some interaction...it is that little something that gets tattooed in your mind and stays there framed forever. I feel like I'm thirteen or something..it is just a gesture or the look..yes..but...it's meant just for you..and you know the crowd is massive...
My similar experiences:
In Zagreb I got a handshake and a nod and the look..the look..!eyebrow moved and there was a little smile only on the one side of the lips..and a nod..a kind of..hello..I think I bowed a little and I shake his hand firmly..because of the honour and respect..maybe thh grab surprised him..but the look was...shit..like he sees through me. It was not much for the others I believe..but for me it was a fragment of what I could give back..a thank you..an appreciation.
In Munich..I wasn't reaching out at all...He was just there..at the end of the show..looking at the crowd..people were waving and screaming..when he looked me in the eyes I just smiled a little and he blew me a kiss and was still looking me directly into the eyes..It must have been 3 seconds..it seemed long..I wish I'd say something or put my hand on my heart..but I showed him my mini Slovenian flag and he noded like..yeah throw it..so I did..he caught it, put it in his pants (left pocket - behind) and then he ran into the center of the stage, all of them bowed. I wonder if he recognized the flag..did he even looked at it latter...If I knew it would happen I would have written something on it..
I was happy. I still am. Music is all that matters to me..but moments like this..they matter too.
Edit: Would love to have a photo
