Crowds have descended on high streets and shopping centres for another day of frantic bargain hunting. In Bristol, 100,000 people were shopping at Cabot Circus - almost twice as many as on a normal day.
Meanwhile, Boxing Day set a new British record for online shopping, with web sales up 17% on last year. But as Tanya Mercer reports, it didn't stop thousands hitting the shops today.
A 19 year old man from Henbury has been charged with a bomb hoax after Cabot Circus shopping centre in Bristol had to be evacuated last Friday. The alarm was raised about a briefcase left outside a shop.
A 100m cordon had to be put in place before a controlled explosion was carried out by police.
Cabot Circus shopping centre in Bristol is currently closed due to the discovery of a suspicious package. Police are in attendance.
Surrounding roads are also closed, which is causing queueing traffic. Motorists are advised to avoid the area.
There is no estimated time for the carriageway to re-open.
