Black Friday: These are the top selling items at John Lewis right now

John Lewis opened its stores at 8am this morning and has been selling items at Black Friday prices since midnight – here are the products people are loving:

Sonos Play 1 is the biggest seller in tech
The Legos Simpsons house is the best-selling item by value
Marc Jacobs perfume has had the most units sold so far
In homeware, Sophie Conran crockery is the best seller.

The online sales will continue until midnight on Monday.

Dinos Rocos, lead director and operations director, John Lewis, said: "Sales on johnlewis.com exceeded expectations overnight as customers logged on to take advantage of our great Black Friday deals. We expect traffic to continue to the website today.

"We have carefully planned for this year's Black Friday event to ensure orders can be fulfilled without compromising the customer service and seamless delivery we're famous for."

The department store has said it will price match its competitors throughout the day, sticking to its promise of never being undersold.

It also has great deals on KitchenAids, Samsung TVs and Michael Kors perfume. For a list of some of the best offers available, see our handy guide.

Many businesses have clearly taken the decision that the event – which is now a week-long bonanza – is becoming too damaging to their bottom lines. Britons are expected to spend £2bn this year, right before the retailers unveil their full-price Christmas lines.
