Eurotunnel and Eurostar passenger and freight services have resumed with delays after around 120 migrants broke into the Calais terminal overnight.

Trains are running through just one of the two tunnels between Folkestone and Calais after fences were breached.

Trains stopped from 23:30 BST on Friday after an "organised" group of 200 migrants tried to enter the terminal.

Eurotunnel said security staff were overwhelmed by the "number and aggression" of the group.

Eurotunnel spokesman John Keefe said staff were shoved and stones thrown in the incident: "Services were suspended because of the very large, determined and organised group of migrants who burst through the fence and made their way to the terminal."
He said people had gone to the end of new security fencing, installed during the summer months, and broken through older fences.
Police were waiting at the tunnel to round up those who reached it, he said.

One Eurotunnel employee and two police officers were injured during the incident.

Services were suspended for safety reasons while French police and British authorities removed people from the area.
