More migrants attempted to cross the Channel on Friday as the Government announced 26 people had been deported under its returns deal with France, while nearly 10,000 arrived since the launch of the scheme.

Around 100 men and women seeking to make the journey gathered on Gravelines beach in the north of the country on Friday morning, where some collided with French police as they sought to reach a small boat.
