Here’s what high streets looked like as shops across England reopened - from Primark to John Lewis
Department and high street stores were allowed to reopen for the first time in almost three months, with social distancing measures in place. Shoppers were seen queuing to enter retailers across the country, including tightly-packed crowds outside the Nike Town store on Oxford Street in London, and thousands waiting outside Primark branches in various cities. Here’s how shops looked across the UK on the day of reopening.
