Ipswich Debenhams has closed its doors to the public for the last time - as the freehold of the building passed into the hands of East Anglian property giant The Unex Group.
There were last-minute queues of bargain-hunters seeking last-minute buys - but people waiting to get in did not find much on offer.
It was clear from the outside that most of the shelves were bare with few more items to be sold.
The Ipswich Debenhams is the first in the area to be shut because Unex, which was founded by legendary racehorse owner Bill Gredley, completes its £3million deal to buy the building today.
