Channel crossings: Border Force pick up migrants

The number of people crossing the Channel this year is now more than the total for the whole of 2020.

On Monday at least 430 migrants crossed the Channel - a record for one day. The previous daily high of 416 was set in September last year.

And on Wednesday, a group of migrants was seen arriving at Dover, taking the total number this year above the 8,461 who made the crossing in 2020.
