Debenhams shoppers have been snapping up bargains as the department store prepares to close its doors for the final time today.
The chain launched a post-lockdown fire sale before the chain shutters its branches countrywide, marking the end of a 242-year presence in Britain s towns and cities.
It collapsed at the end of last year, with the closure of all its stores confirmed after Boohoo agreed to only buy its website and brand in a £55million rescue deal.
Today many branches which ordinarily would be piled high with cosmetics, clothes and a whole host of other goods lay empty of merchandise with bare shelves and huge areas taped off.

The last remaining Debenhams are closing their doors on Saturday, more than 240 years after the department store began trading.
Shoppers have flocked to the last remaining outlets to pick up bargains in closing-down sales.
But the last 28 stores will now be shuttered for good.
The Debenhams brand will continue to trade online after it was bought by the fashion retailer Boohoo for £55m in January.
At its height, there were more than 150 Debenhams stores across the UK, but the chain went into administration in 2019 after several years of falling sales.
