Queue forms as Portsmouth fancy dress shop U Need Us slashes all prices to £1

U Need Us in Arundel Street will be closing its doors for the final time on Saturday, March 30. 

Bargain hunters have been up and out early to queue up for the store’s clearance sale which begins today. 

Pictures and video show eager shoppers waiting outside U Need Us ahead of it opening at 9am today. 

The store has been a mainstay in the Commercial Road area for 95 years, but announced its closure early last month.

To commemorate the closure of the store, everything has been reduced to just £1 for a flash sale which starts today. 

In a post on the store’s Facebook page, staff wrote: ‘It's been fantastic to see so many friendly faces popping in for a chat over the last few days.

‘Everything is a £1 or less – come in and buy a small piece of Portsmouth history.’
