This is the moment a small boat arrived at Gravelines beach to pick up migrants to take them illegally across to the UK.
The rubber vessel was pictured off the French coast, just east of Calais, this morning, before heading off into the English Channel.
Passengers, which included men, women and children, loaded on to the boat, reaching out hands to help each other aboard.
Some threw peace signs at the camera - while a handful of French police officers stood on the beach, watching on.
It comes after the first small boat migrants were detained in Dover on Thursday for removal to France under the Government's new 'one in, one out' scheme.
