Staff at a Lincolnshire antique shop have been left "gobsmacked" after a visit from Hollywood royalty.

Johnny Depp popped in to Hemswell Antique Centre on Friday evening, landing his helicopter in the store's grounds before having a private viewing at Europe's largest antique centre.

Owner Robert Miller says he came to buy antiques for his London home, "he was after interesting quirky collectibles as well as purchasing guitars for himself."

And it might not be the last time we see him as Robert explains, "he was totally overwhelmed by the place, told us he'd definitely be coming back.

"He was a very genuine, friendly person, very chatty. He was very happy to pose for pictures, a number of staff did selfies and a number of staff brought their younger sons and daughters in to meet him and have pictures taken."
