Thousands of shoppers at one of Britain's best-known stores were treated to a huge surprise on Saturday when superstar Michael Jackson arrived to look around.
Crowds of curious onlookers amassed outside the front entrance of London's Harrods and glimpsed the pop legend when he arrived with Harrods' owner, Mohammed Al-Fayed.
The pair then went to Al-Fayed's football team, Fulham, to watch Saturday afternoon's match.

Crowds queued outside London's famous Harrods department store anticipating the arrival of Michael Jackson.
In true Harrods style, a green rolls-royce delivered the super star.
00:10
The king of pop and Al-Fayed had flown into London together on a private plane from New York.
00:17
Jackson toured the store, dressed in his famous black embroidered suit and distinctive armband.
00:24
Surrounded by a phalanx of security guards, Jackson and Al-Fayed then made their way down the Egyptian escalator and to the store's basement.
There they visited the memorial to Al-Fayed's son, Dodi, and Diana, Princess of Wales.
00:37
Jackson said little during the visit but when the ever-growing tour party paused in the perfume department to listen to Rhian William playing a harp, he walked over and requested she play Greensleeves.
00:48
Shoppers were delighted by Jackson's surprise visit, and many followed him around the store.
00:53
The tour party moved up to other floors and spent a lot of time in the children's department.
00:59
There Jackson stopped for a quick hug from the store's larger than life teddy bear.
01:03
And then, it was to the Fulham Football Club which is also owned by Al-Fayed.
Thousands of fans were unaware that Jackson was about to join their ranks.
01:12
Carrying Fulham's black and white supporters scarves, Jackson and Al-Fayed both walked briefly around the ground before the home team took on Wigan.
01:20 The crowd was obviously delighted.
01:22 As Jackson and Al-Fayed sat in the stands Fulham went on to beat Wigan, which probably delighted the crowd even more.
