Holidaymakers were left waiting outside the airport's entrance, leaving them worried they'd miss their flights.

Birmingham Airport have posted via social media reminding travellers that under new government rules 'passengers can only carry liquids, pastes, and gels up to 100ml in their hand luggage'. And, it has certainly seemed to cause a problem.

The airport added: "It is imperative that all customers comply with the nationwide rule to ensure a smoother and simpler transition through the airport."

Three lines of queues can be seen at 4am, packed with people waiting to get inside the airport.

With Euro 2024 set to begin this evening as Germany face Scotland, many football fans are heading out for the summer tournament.
