Fortnum & Mason's Christmas Windows 2012 - Dick Whittington
We are delighted to announce that Fortnum's Christmas 2012 windows are open! This year's theme is the classic tale of Dick Whittington, and what better way to celebrate the unveiling of these world-famous Christmas windows than with our very own Lord Mayor of London. The Lord Mayor was joined by the cast of Dick Whittington from the Hackney Empire, and the grand unveiling was watched by a crowd of delighted passers-by. To see how these beautiful windows were created, simply click on the video below.
