Police have put further road closures in place near at Sandringham, to ensure the area can cope with the growing numbers of people heading there to pay tribute to the Queen.

Drivers are facing heavy congestion today (September 11) along roads leading to the estate.

Delays of over 12 minutes have been reported.

To alleviate traffic issues, police have closed some roads.

The B1440 at the junction with B1439 in West Newton and Dodds Hill at the top of Admirals Drive had been closed temporarily.

But in an update at 3pm, a Norfolk Constabulary spokesman said while the road had reopened it was best avoided due to heavy traffic.

A police spokesman also urged visitors to not park in Admiral Drive.

The sea of flowers at the gates of Sandringham has swelled over the weekend, as thousands of mourners flock to the Norfolk estate to pay their respects to the late Queen.

The mass of tributes now spreads far from the site's Norwich Gates and towards the road.
