Mary Berry proved a big hit at John Lewis yesterday as she arrived for a festive book signing on one of the busiest days for the department store.

Queues formed for the chance to speak to the baking legend - who lives nearby - and get their copy of her latest book signed.

Also entertaining the Christmas shopping crowds was Marlow artist and illustrator Nicola Metcalfe, whose bright coloured pieces are stocked by the retail giant.

She provided colouring sheets for children and adults alike to release their inner creativity by recreating her London artwork, commissioned by the Tate Gallery in London.
