(CNN) — Images of long lines with captions referring to several waiting hours at London's Heathrow Airport have surfaced on social media, prompting the airport press office to criticize the British Border Force on Saturday. "We are very sorry that passengers faced unacceptable queuing times in immigration last night (Friday) due to too few Border Force officers on duty," a Heathrow spokesperson said in a statement on Saturday. "The Border Force were aware of the extra demand from families and we were very disappointed that they did not provide sufficient resources," the statement added.More Related News
