Motorists chose to wait outside their vehicles as two-hour delays are being reported at Dover.

JB Theibaut filmed the scene as his family were stuck in traffic at the port hoping to catch a ferry to Calais.

He told Newsflare: "Huge traffic starting 2 miles from the checkpoint. Traffic was diverted within Dover residential areas, it was utter chaos.

"It’s me, my wife and our two daughters. Travelling to France for half term. We’re used to delays. We left London at 7 am, usually, we’re in the queue at 8:30 am. This time we didn’t reach customs before 10:45 am.

"We missed our boat scheduled for 9:55 am and we’ve been put on the next one at 11:25 am.

"It’s a long day. Lot more waiting than actual driving

"We used to take the shuttle but it’s chaotic as well and more expensive. We’re paying £290 for a return ferry trip, and it’s always chaos."
