Cars are already queuing on Kent's motorways, with crowds flocking to the coast to take advantage of today's heatwave.

The county is set to be hotter than Saint-Tropez on the French Riviera this afternoon, with forecasters predicting the mercury could rise to as high as 28C.

As a result, many have decided to make their way to the beach, with traffic moving slowly on the eastbound carriageway of the M2, between junction 4 for Gillingham and junction 5 for Sittingbourne.

Among the events being held today, is a screening of the Champions League final between Liverpool and Tottenham at Margate's Dreamland.

Drivers are advised to allow extra time for their journeys.
