    As Sander has said, or you can say in a friendly way, "After you."

  • I would say "Sorry I am in your way." even if I am not it is polite.

  • "No problem." (US) Where is this occurring? If someone did say, "excuse me, side please," that doesn't sound American or British to me.

"Go ahead", which was suggested in the comments, is a fine response.

Usually, I would just say "Oops, sorry" to indicate that I was unaware that I blocking someone's way.

  • Thanks all for your cordial cooperation. In addition may i say "follow you"?

  • "Follow you" sounds like you're expecting to be led somewhere, or you're stalking someone. Instead, say "After you" to mean that you want the other person to pass first.
