Thousands of people have queued outside Harry Ramsden's in Bournemouth, Dorset, as the eatery offers up fish and chips for just seven pence.

The world-famous fish and chip shop has celebrated their relaunch of a classic dish by giving out almost 2,000 portions for the original price it was offered for when it opened in 1928.

Hoards of hungry seaside goers today enjoyed the return of its classic beef dripping fish and chips, which made the brand popular.

Staff at the shop had been planning for this day for over eight months, but were still shocked by the thousands of punters who showed up to the shop, which sits around 100 metres from Bournemouth Pier.

Mohammad Shaikh, General Manager at Harry Ramsden's, said: 'We were expecting a big queue and people started lining up before 10am. We've got five to six people working in the kitchen and four on security.
