Travellers heading to the Port of Dover on a popular summer morning have encountered significant delays, with officials reporting wait times of up to two hours.
The queues, spanning nine lanes wide, extended alongside the iconic white cliffs as French guards rigorously checked passports at the border.
They assured travellers that despite the delay, they would be accommodated on the next available sailing once they reached the check-in point.
Officials advised travellers to utilize only the main routes to avoid further traffic delays, emphasizing that the morning in question marked one of the peak travel periods throughout the summer.
