GREGGS enthusiasts have been queuing up to be among the first to buy the bakery chain’s new clothing range after it went on sale today. 

Sausage roll and pasty fans were at Primark on Northumberland Street in Newcastle from 8am.

The 11-piece fashion range launched today and includes T-shirts, tracksuit bottoms, bucket hats, underwear, socks and sliders with prices ranging from £7 to £16.

The Northern Echo: Liam TurnbullLiam Turnbull Liam Turnbull, of Gateshead, who was in the queue early this morning, said the collaboration between the two brans was ‘fantastic for the North East’.

The 33-year-old said: “I think it's a really interesting idea and I wanted to be here early because I was worried about missing out.

'I am into designer clothes, and wouldn't usually shop at Primark, but I was happy to make an exception for a couple of Greggs t-shirts.

“I was very eager to get my hands on them. The vegan sausage roll is iconic.”
