IN PICTURES: Hundreds queue for coronavirus drive through testing in Milton Keynes

    Hundreds of people have been queuing for the coronavirus drive through test centre in Milton Keynes today.

    Images show vehicles waiting on both sides of Avebury Boulevard, which was closed by Milton Keynes Council earlier to cope with the huge demand for the new testing centre.

    Anyone who is or has a family member who is a key worker can now book tests online via the GOV.UK website, although spikes in demand have seen the site only open for certain amounts of time each day.

    The government classifies key workers as those working in jobs such as teachers, government employees and delivery drivers.

    Check out our gallery of images from the test centre, taken at around lunchtime today:
