Fans given first glimpse at the magical John Lewis Christmas advert

Brace yourselves! The John Lewis advert is being released this week

The emotional advert will be released on November 9th, but the retailer has already given fans a glimpse at the trailer.

It features a nanny and a grandson so there's no doubt we'll be sobbing over this in the office on Thursday.

The theme of this year's John Lewis ad is 'traditions grow' but we'll have to wait until Thursday to see the full video.
