Silly question about traveling

[Tracey&Greg 35]

I'm sure I've overlooked the answer this question but I'm hoping for a little help. My hubby and baby are traveling to Manchester Sunday for 10 days, my son and I have US Passports yet my hubby has a UK passport with a 10 year greencard. Can we enter together or will we have to separate at custome? I know we can go together on our trip home to the US but for the life of me I can't remember going out there whats required. 😅

Many Thanks!

The UK's border control page says you should move through immigration as a family, and that if you're from the EU/EEA you can use the EU/EEA line (but you don't have to). As one of you isn't EU/EEA, the implication is that you should all use the non-EU/EEA line. In practice, though, you can just get away with all going through whichever line looks shorter or faster.

He's dual in the sense of birth but I have to send of birth records and such to the UK to have it approved. I inquired about a UK passport a while back for him and my oldest (8 years old) but never actively seeked dual on paper.

So your oldest also has a UKC father, I would get them their passports, unlike the UK they can still visit on the US passports.

Was that supposed to be "unlike the US, they can still visit the UK on the US passports"?

Depending on the airport, the non-EU line can be much shorter and quicker. Not sure about Manchester, but the London airports (with the exception of first thing in the morning when the overnight long-hauls arrive) there are far more EU people than anything else. And usually just 2 desks and 3 e-gates for them all.
