Man dressed as baked bean rides first Eurostar

On 14 November 1994, the first Eurostar trains carried passengers from London and under the Channel to mainland Europe.

Ahead of that maiden journey from the now-closed and repurposed Waterloo International station, BBC News spoke to some of the passengers on that very first train - including Barry Kirk, also known as Captain Beany.
