British Border Force vessels intercepted hundreds of migrants this morning, including a large number on a suspected stolen yacht.
The single mast boat was tied up next to the Border Force catamaran Hurricane as three other groups of migrants arrived in the Port of Dover despite fog at sea.
Large numbers of men, as well as women and children, were brought up the gangway at the immigration processing centre, all wearing orange life jackets. At least 200 people are thought to have been brought into the port so far today.
This follows 413 migrants making the treacherous journey in seven boats on Friday, after a deadly week in which six people died in three separate incidents. In total, 15,389 migrants have now been intercepted and rescued in small boats so far this year.
