"With up to 80 per cent off across our remaining stores, customers are urged to shop now while stocks last.

“Over the next 10 days, Debenhams will close its doors on the high street for the final time in its 242-year history. Our sincere thanks go out to all of our colleagues and customers who have joined us on this journey. We hope to see you all one last time in stores before we say a final goodbye to the UK high street.”

Stores have been made Covid-secure, with hygiene and social distancing measures, he added.

The retailer reopened in April offering big discounts to raise money for creditors.

It had been in and out of administration before FRP Advisory announced in December rescue talks had failed and it planned to wind the company down.

Online retailer Boohoo bought the brand for £55m in February. At that point the administrators said all 118 stores would close and 12,000 staff would be made redundant.
