Hero fishermen pulled 31 screaming migrants to safety in scenes 'like World War 2 film'

A heroic fishing crew that helped pull migrants onto their boat from the freezing water in the English Channel described the scene "like something out of a Second World War movie".

Four migrants sadly died in the early hours of the morning when the small dinghy collapsed on itself in sub-zero temperatures just five miles off the coast of Dungeness in Kent.

Up to 43 people including children were rescued today, and 31 of those were rescued by the fishermen over the course of two hours - but at least one could not be saved.
