How to display parameter in animation?

How do I display the parameter in an animation?

For example, I would like to see the values of the parameter 'a' in the foll
owing example from the mathematica documentation:

 Animate[Plot[Sin[x+a],{x,0,10}],{a,0,5}]


In particular, if I pause the animation I would like to see what the value o
f the parameter is.

Hallo Holobundle,
please try this:

Animate[Plot[Sin[x + a], {x, 0, 10}, Epilog -> Text[a, {1, .5}]], {a, 
  0, 5}]
