The vessel, which was overloaded with dozens of migrants, got into trouble off the coast of Boulogne early this morning.

A large rescue operation was launched just after 7am, with onlookers seeing several bodies floating in the water off the town of Equihen-Plage.
 
Francois-Xavier Lauch, the prefect of Pas-de-Calais, said two men and two women had died, with 42 others rescued.
