Victoria was at Harrod's annual January sale. The singer arrived at the London store in a open-top horse-drawn carriage led by a band of bagpipers.

She said she was looking forward to doing some posh shopping.

"I hope you all spend lots of money," she said.

Kirsty Howard, six, from Manchester, who was born with a rare condition that means her heart is back to front, arrived with the singer on the carriage.

"Kirsty said she wanted to come shopping and I thought what better way to do that than to come to the Harrods' sale," Victoria said.

Victoria also presented Kirsty with a cheque for �20,000 from Harrods to Francis House Hospice in Manchester, where the youngster is a regular resident. The hospice will also be one of a number of charities receiving a percentage of the takings from today's sale.

Victoria was followed into the store by publican Pat Hard from Biddestone in Wiltshire, who had been queuing in sub-zero temperatures since midnight.

She said: "It's been bitterly cold but I was determined to get my hands on a designer handbag and a pair of shoes so I had to be first. I've been well looked after. Staff at the shop gave me cups of tea through the night and I opened a bottle of champagne at 6am to help keep off the cold."

Harrods owner Mohamed al Fayed also wished her a Happy New Year as he arrived to see the shop open
