More than 677 people made it to the UK in a surge of crossings between Thursday and Sunday

More than 4,000 migrants have now reached the UK in 2020 by crossing the dangerous Dover Strait in small boats.

An inflatable dinghy carrying around 20 Syrian migrants has been met by Border Force off the English coast.

The packed vessel had been making its way across the English Channel on Monday morning, with those on board seen waving and smiling on their journey.
