A festival has been delayed in Ipswich due to traffic chaos in the town.
Eid in the Park, which is under way in Christchurch Park, has delayed the prayer by at least 15 minutes due to people struggling to get into the town.
At least 500 people were expected to attend the event, with prayers initially planned for 10.30am delayed.
The celebration marks the festival of sacrifice, commemorating the willingness of Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) to sacrifice his son as an act of obedience to God.
The traffic is due to a lane closure on the A14 between junction 57 and 58 on the eastbound carriageway.
One commuter explained that it took two hours to commute from Colchester to Ipswich this morning, a journey that normally takes one hour.
The lane closure began at 11pm on Monday, May 25, with National Highways unable to repair the defect due to the extreme heat.
The Suffolk Show also began today at Trinity Park, which is adding to the delays in the area, with thousands expected to attend today and tomorrow.
