01:19UK: It's Black Friday, so these people queued from midnight for trainers!
Shoppers queued from midnight in central London to get the cut price deals on 'Black Friday.' The US-imported promotion, where various shops drastically cut their prices for one Friday just before Christmas, is gaining traction in the UK, despite the lack of the Thanksgiving holiday season.
The promotion has often been associated with minor violence as police were called to 11 shops and stores around the UK last night as scuffles broke out due to overzealous crowds keenness to acquire discounted goods first.
The 'Black Friday' promotion has brought criticism in the US where Unions vowed to strike due to working conditions on America's busiest shopping day of the year.
