British families heading on holiday today have faced delays of several hours on the roads of Dover because of gridlocked traffic.

They said: 'There is queuing and slow moving traffic on the A2 and the A20 coastbound due to high volumes of traffic heading to the Port of Dover.

'Drivers are warned to expect delays.'

For many families, this is the first weekend they can go on holiday after schools broke up this week.
