Britons have faced chaos at Dover over the last week with many stuck in queues for hours. The port has blamed French authorities for a lack of staff. Today saw more families waiting in long queues.

DFDS tweeted this morning: “Please allow 120 minutes to complete the check in process and border controls at the Port.

“Upon arrival at check-in, we will accommodate you onto the next available sailing.”

It added: “Buffer zone in use for tourist traffic is being released sequentially.

“As soon as you have completed Border Controls you’ll proceed to our DFDS check-in booths where we will accommodate you onto the first available departure.”

Photos taken at Dover show some passengers outside their cars as they wait in queues at the port.

DFDS have advised passengers that queues could increase over the weekend as more families try to get away.

It tweeted: “Currently we are advising to allow at least 120 minutes for all checks. However, over the weekend this may increase.”

Since Brexit, British passengers need to get their passport stamped on entry and exit from France.
