Hundreds of people queued outside Bluewater and intu Bromley shopping centres last night, as iPhone 6 fever gripped south east London and north Kent.

Overnight, 400 people joined the queue for the new iPhone at Bluewater, with the first people turning up at around 3pm.

The Apple store said the first person in the queue, Paul Sadwell - a bit of an Apple Bluewater celebrity - has been first in the queue for every iPhone launch.

Some were thrilled with the new iPhone's new design...

...while others couldn't resist having a grumble.

Meanwhile devotees also flocked to intu Bromley, where the Apple store opened at 8am and welcomed shoppers with free cups of coffee and cookies.

Maria Cooper, Marketing Manager for intu Bromley said: "We are very excited about the launch and aware that intu Bromley will be a hot spot for many people today.

"This is why we decided to open our doors earlier than usual at 6.15 this morning, well ahead of the store opening."

The new iPhone 6 features the latest smart-phone technology called 'Metal' which promises to deliver enhanced effects and more detailed graphics than past iPhone's have been capable of.
