  • Story Text: Seemingly ageless pop star Cher has opened the January
    sales at Harrods, London's world-famous store.

    An open-topped Bentley brought Cher to Harrods in
    London's fashionable Knightsbridge area on Wednesday (January
    6), where she was to open to the store's January sales.

    Cher was met by Mohamed al-Fayed, owner of the store and
    father of Dodi, who died in the same car crash in Paris in
    which Diana, Princess of Wales lost her life last year.

    Al-Fayed accompanied Cher around the store.
