Katherine Jenkins booed as opens Harrods sale

Anti-fur protestors angry with opera singer for promoting store

Katherine Jenkins and Mohamed Al Fayed: Katherine Jenkins and Mohamed Al Fayed at Harrods sale 2008

Katherine Jenkins met up with Harrods owner Mohamed Al Fayed to open the 2008 Christmas sale

Singer Katherine Jenkins arrived by horse-drawn carriage to open the 2008 Harrods Christmas sale today and was heckled by anti-fur protestors yelling 'Shame on Harrods'.

Leona Lewis is reported to have turned the job down because Harrods stocks fur coats.

'Personally I do not eat meat or wear fur, but people are entitled to their opinions,' Katherine, 28, told BBC reporters.

Owner Mohamed Al Fayed ushered his guest - who was also cheered by music fans - inside the Knightsbridge store.

Over 400 anti-fur campaigners from the Coalition To Abolish The Fur Trade also protested outside top stores Gucci, Escada, Versace, Fendi, Joseph and Armani.
