Shops reported a really busy final weekend of trading before Christmas - although some found their stores less packed than they might have been, as people adhered to coronavirus restrictions.
The last weekend before Christmas coincided with prime minister Boris Johnson s announcement of stricter rules over the festive period.
Fiona Coe, marketing manager for independent retailer Coes, in Norwich Road, Ipswich, felt the announcement led to a quieter Sunday of trading.
