The Friends sofa is in Edinburgh TODAY – and you can get your photo taken in front of the Ross Fountain

The iconic Friends sofa is in Edinburgh TODAY (16 September) – and you can get your picture taken on it in front of a fountain, just like in the opening credits of the hit TV show.

Fans of the much-loved TV show will no doubt flock to Edinburgh Castle and the Ross Fountain today to get their very own colourful, umbrella-themed picture taken on the sofa.

The event is being organised to celebrate 25 years since Monica, Rachel, Phoebe, Chandler, Joey and Ross first appeared on TV screens around the world.

The famous piece of Central Perk furniture is going places, and will also visit Cardiff Castle and London's Tower Bridge in the UK along with Bondi Beach in Sydney, The Burj Khalifa in Dubai and a number of other locations across the globe as part of the tour.

It has become something of a legend down the years – and many of us will have lost count of the amount of times we've seen it on our TV screens.

However for many this will be the first chance to catch it in the flesh, as it were, and people will be given the chance to have a seat in it and post for a keepsake picture.

Access to the sofa will be on a first-come-first served basis on the day, and it will be in town from 10am until 5pm.
