This is the moment a group of migrants celebrated as they landed on Broadstairs beach in Kent in front of stunned sunbathers.
The group of 20 people - including three children and a baby - had made the perilous 30-mile trip across the English Channel on a dinghy.
Their unexpected arrival surprised beachgoers in Broadstairs on the north east Kent coastline - a further 10 miles from the usual boat landings on the south stretch of the county from Calais.
Sally Jones Rowell and her daughter Lydia Jones, 13, were at their beach hut when they saw them arrive - one man raising his arms in the air - with the kind-hearted teenager offering them crisps and drinks.

The group clambered up steps onto the promenade on Saturday afternoon.
The baby was just a few months old and one of the children was about three years old.
Sally said: 'We were at our beach hut in Stone Bay when a boat of migrants came up on the beach.
'It was mainly young men and a very expensive boat. A few young children.
'Most of them ran off in every direction. We gave the children some packets of crisps.'
