Long queues of passengers waiting for a Red Jet have now been cleared, however Red Funnel car ferry passengers are facing delays.

Earlier, foot passengers faced a wait of 'up to four hours' for the fast ferry between Cowes and Southampton.

Now, the Isle of Wight ferry firm is warning of delays on its East Cowes route.

A spokesperson from Red Funnel, said: “Our vehicle service is currently delayed by 15-25 minutes, due to the volume of passengers travelling from the Isle of Wight Festival today.

"There are no delays on our Red Jet service and we are checking in passengers as normal.

"The festival site closed at 2pm today and our teams have now cleared all queues.

"We would like to thank passengers for their patience as our teams work hard to load the final passengers as quickly as possible."

Fairlee Road has fully reopened, meanwhile.
