If you want the '#' line in the output
cat YourFile | sed -n -e '/#####/,$p'
If you don't, then
cat YourFile | sed -e '1,/#####/d'
The above assumes that you will have at least 5 '#' chars on
your divider line, and never before in the file. Increase the
number '#' symbols if the above example is strictly literal.
Note the -n in the first line.
