JEREMY Clarkson opened his new pub today - and there was a very long queue for the bar.

Dozens of people were waiting outside The Farmer's Dog near Burford in the Cotswolds.

People are said to have been queuing from as early as 10am this morning in preparation for the 12pm opening. 

There were also lines of cars on roads near the pub on the A40 with authorities issuing traffic warnings.

Jeremy was spotted at the front of the newly refurbished pub chatting with adoring fans.

Gerald and Lisa were spotted inside the pub having selfies with punters waiting for a pint.

Kaleb Cooper halted filming for the show to meet with fans in the pub's fields, while Charlie Ireland cut a stern face as camera crews followed him through the droves of people. 

Jeremy walked to the Grand Tour tent and spoke briefly with fans again.

Mr Cooper said: "Everything in this pub here has actually come from England.

"I'm 26-years-old and I get to go out and do what I love.

"It's an honour actually."

He added: "I should be on a tractor now actually, I feel really bad."

When asked if he came by tractor today, he replied: "No I didn't actually, I should have."

Alexis Williams, 45, travelled down from Sheffield with her British bulldog George for the pub opening.

She said: "We came down yesterday and we're stopping in Chipping Norton.

"We've been to the farm shop this morning, we got there at 8.30am, which was probably the right time.

"We've only been waiting 20 minutes and thought we'd chance it, we weren't sure we'd get anywhere near to be honest.

"We thought the traffic would be really bad.

"I've seen Jeremy, I've just seen Charlie walk past and Kaleb is around down there.

"We haven't seen Gerald about, but I do really want to see Gerald.

"We saw a post on Facebook, we followed this page, and we saw people had been queuing for two to three hours.

"We thought we'd chance it this morning."

Three car parks have been opened to fit the cars in.
