Hundreds of people queued to visit the new Ikea store in Brighton.
The Churchill Square store officially opened at 10am today (August 14) after months of anticipation.
Customers were kept entertained by a magician and the steel drums, which played Abba's Gimme Gimme when the time came for the ribbon cutting.
