Bracknell town centre was eerily quiet today as the traditional Boxing Day sales began.
As our photographs show, there were few signs of queues of shoppers eager to snap up a Boxing Day bargain.
Our photographs were taken between 10.30am and 11.30am this morning.

Several shops were still setting up 'sale' and '50 per cent off' signs ready to open - but others remained closed.
Only one store was busy - JD in Braccan Walk. People flurried in to get a bargain on expensive trainers and sportswear.
Next - famous for its Boxing Day sale queues - is closed this year to give employees a well-deserved rest.

Queues formed in the coffee shops with Gails attracting shoppers with their delicious pastries as well as Costa Coffee.

These shops are closed in Bracknell today:
Morrisons
Marks and Spencer
Waitrose
