Crowds flock to see Yasmin THOUSANDS of people flocked to see top model Yasmin Le Don and her husband, pop Singer Si- mon Le Bon open a shop in Oxford on Saturday. The shop, a menswear shop called Gaff, had hoped their appearance would pull the crowds but they hadn’t bar- gained on so many. An hour before their arrival a queue had formed outside the shop in Broad Street, Oxford, and when the VIPS turned up, police had to close the road. A spokeswoman at Gaff said: “We couldn’t believe it. There must have been around 4,000 people there. “Simon and Yasmin originally said they could only stay for an hour but they stayed until 6pm signing auto- graphs and chatting to the crowd. They were marvellous.” The shop run by Ter- ry Laithwaite and Mo Behradnehr was so over- whelmed by the crowds they didn’t sell one item during the opening!
