Prime Minister Boris Johnson surprised Bank Holiday crowds in Whitley Bay when he stopped off to enjoy some chips on the seafront.
Mr Johnson popped into the Whitley Whaler chippy on Marine Avenue, on Monday, May 2, where he ordered a "small chips" before strolling along the promenade. The Tory leader, who was on a pre-election visit to the North East, was spotted chatting to walkers outside of Spanish City at around 4pm.
Georgia Walker, who has owned the Whitley Whaler chip shop for 11 years, said the Prime Minister's visit was a total surprise.
