In pictures: Apple mania hits as iPad 2 goes on sale

The iPad 2 has officially gone on sale in the UK. Over at the Regents Street Apple store, they simply could not wait until the stated 5pm with the first customers getting their hands on the tablet as early as 4.53pm.

With rumours of stock shortages flying, the once relatively short, worm-like queue had blossomed and grown into a python-like behemoth snaking around the West End.

It went on?

And on?

And even doubled back on itself.

The blue-clad Apple genii had their traditional whooping and clapping at nothing session just before the doors opened.

First in line Jewels was in good spirits as he was ushered into the store after waiting a around 34 hours outside for the privilege. He went in?

And he came out. He was more pleased with his new iPad 2 than he looks, we promise.

And thus the iPad 2 went on sale in the UK. Whether the people at the end of the queue will get their coveted slates or not is a story for another day.
