Carlisle's Toys 'R' Us store is set to close today.

All of the company's 75 shops across the country will close within the next week after going into administration.

In total more than 2,000 jobs will be lost.

The toy chain collapsed in February and insolvency specialist Moorfields has been selling off the retailer's stock at knockdown prices.

Simon Thomas, joint administrator at Moorfields, said: "We are grateful for the hard work of everybody at Toys R Us during this extremely difficult and challenging time.

"We are working closely with the 2,000 employees affected by the closures to ensure they receive the support they need for redundancy and other compensatory payments."

Toys R Us appointed Moorfields to handle the administration when the company was unable to pay a £15m tax bill.

Carlisle's Toys 'R' Us is in The Lanes shopping centre near Primark.
