housands of shoppers flooded into Harrods as the store’s winter sale opened. Lily Allen, the singer, arrived at the entrance in a horse-drawn carriage at 9am to begin the countdown to the opening. Robert Browne, 29, from South London, was first in the queue. He said: “I’m after a plasma TV. I’m looking for a really good price - at least 50 per cent off.” Bargains included £8,000 off a Yamaha piano and £950 off an LG TV. Customer services managers estimated that by midday £1 million an hour would be going through the store’s tills.
