TV presenter Dan Snow has mounted an operation to help people who are stranded in France following flight cancellations to return to the UK.

He has secured five rigid inflatable boats, each of which can hold ten people, which are being used throughout Sunday after leaving Dover at 0900 BST.

The team will ask for donations from those using the boats, with profits going to the Help for Heroes charity.
