A young boy 'fainted' and collapsed to the floor as he waited with his family in an 'hour-long' queue to get through passport control at Manchester Airport, a holidaymaker has claimed.

It's understood the boy - whose exact age is unknown - was assisted at the scene by airport staff, but further details about his condition haven't been revealed.

The passenger - who shared a photograph of the long queue on social media and with the Manchester Evening News after flying back to the airport - said he also had concerns over newborn babies forced to endure the wait with their parents and families.
