Festive foods are out on display even though Britain is only just cooling down from the August heatwave.

Shoppers have taken to social media to voice their astonishment and to joke about the move.
One wrote: “Summer is officially over according to Sainsbury’s…. Either that or they have some new bakery staff practising ready for Christmas…. Mince pies in September!”
Another said: “Thanks Sainsbury’s for confirming that summer is over and we are now straight into Christmas.”
Others have criticised the supermarket giant for encouraging food waste while others joked about stocking up ahead of Brexit.

Responding on Twitter, a spokesman for Sainsbury’s said: “It’s good to get in the Christmas spirit nice and early!”
