Bargain hunters are out again in force today as more stores started their Christmas sales. The seasonal shopping rush in Leicester got into full swing, with flagship department stores Fenwick and John  Lewis opening up for their post-Christmas sales. Up to 1,300 customers  queued in Market Street waiting for Fenwick's doors to open at 8am, with some eager shoppers arriving as early as 3am. John Lewis, in the Highcross shopping centre, was also busy, with 150 customers braving the rain to be first to get their hands on a bargain, with discounts of up to 50 per cent on clearance items.Fenwick store director David Illingworth said the majority of those queuing were there for the stores's 'early bird' deals of up to 70 per cent off selected lines. "We sold out of beds which were in the sale by about 8.30am and sales of duvets went crazy," he said.Other popular sales items were half price perfume gift sets and leather furniture. Mr Illingworth added: "In just two hours, from 8am to 10am, we sold more than we did in the two days prior to Christmas, which is pretty unbelievable."
