Port of Dover issues warning ahead of Easter
The port in Kent has alerted drivers as France has heightened its border security checks
The Port of Dover has issued an alert to holidaymakers hoping to make an Easter getaway this weekend.
Drivers are being warned they may face delays due to tighter security checks following the Moscow concert attack.
It comes as French authorities stepped up border monitoring after more than 130 people were killed in the Russian capital on Friday night.
The port in Kent issued a statement saying:
"France has heightened its border security checks following the attack in Moscow on Sunday.
"These measures may increase border processing times at the Port.
"Please be mindful of this when travelling to the port & check with your Ferry Operator for arrival times."
Around 20,000 cars are expected to travel through the port over the bank holiday weekend.
Drivers across the UK are being warned over long delays as more than 14 million Easter getaway trips are expected to take place from Thursday to Monday.
