Operation Stack: Latest video shows the huge delays faced by drivers on the M20
M20 drivers face delays of up to 18 hours before they can enter the Eurotunnel from Kent
Latest aerial footage shows the M20 completely gridlocked as Operation Stack is in full effect.
Take a look at this GoPro aerial footage which shows the long queues at the Ashford end of Operation Stack.
Operation Stack, which has shut the M20 between junctions eight and 11 for stationary lorries, is expected to remain in place over the weekend.
