Queues at the Port of Dover are expected to be down to just an hour on Sunday, after two days of holidaymakers having to endure gridlocked roads and lengthy waits as the summer getaway began.

Traffic was said to be “flowing normally” in contrast to scenes of bumper-to-bumper traffic which caused travel chaos for thousands in recent days.
