PASSERSBY gave a double take when the models in a York lingerie shop's window came to life.

Leia Lingerie in Spurriergate replaced its usual mannequins with two live models on Saturday afternoon to showcase new lingerie and swimwear collections, and to mark the 10th anniversary of the shop's opening in the street.

Assistant manager Georgina Batten said the models, Siobhan Fordington and Jenna Tucker, attracted a lot of interest as they stood in the window and interacted with customers. "They raised a lot of smiles and there was a really positive reaction to it," she added.
