This was the scene outside Lidl in Willerby as hundreds queued up to try and bag a bank holiday deal.

There has been chaos at stores across the country today, as thousands of people tried to take advantage of the prosecco bargain on sale.

The supermarket chain's offer involved a case of six bottles of the brand's own Allini Prosecco for £20 - equivalent to just over £3 a bottle.

At 8.22am, Jordon Bateman, who was stuck in the queue outside the Willerby store, sent in this photograph. The store opened to customers this morning at 8am.

"We got there at about 7.30am because we knew there would be queues because the deal was so widely advertised," said Jordon, from Beverley.

"My wife and I both really like prosecco and I thought we'd better get there a bit earlier. There were about five couples in front of us when we got there but by five to 8am there were 200, 150 people there."

Jordon said the rush as the doors opened at 8am was 'just like Black Friday'. He said: "There was a bit of a rush, and some shouting from the back. It was like Black Friday and that's not exaggerating.

"They only had one pallet full and there was some pushing and shoving. They ran out within minutes.

"I grabbed as much as I could and then I had some other shopping to do, and by the time I left at about 8.08am they had run out, they were already turning people away."

According to the Birmingham Mail, the cheap fizz sold out in minutes of stores opening in the Midlands city, with some unhappy customers saying all the bottles were gone by 8.20am.

In London, some shoppers queued up from as early as 7am according to the Evening Standard to take advantage of the offer on the sunny bank holiday weekend.
