SHOPPERS in York were surprised to see a six-foot rabbit mingling with the Easter crowds in Coney Street.
The big bunny had hopped into town to help promote the Easter-bunny shaped Harvey Bath Ballistic, which is being sold in a city cosmetics shop.
He hung about for a "rabbit "with shoppers, and enjoyed some Welsh rarebit in a caf before hopping off towards the A64 to continue his European tour.
Cosmetics shop chain Lush hopes its new product will turn bathtime into a bonanza right across Britain.
Lush, which has a branch in Coney Street, named the bath treat after the James Stewart film classic of the same name.
