The fleet of Dunkirk little ships due to return to Ramsgate today has been delayed by bad weather.

They were meant to be arriving from France this afternoon - but will now wait till tomorrow.

The 50 ships have been taking part in events marking the 70th anniversary of Operation Dynamo.

They sailed over to France on Friday, escorted by HMS Monmouth of the Royal Navy and many veterans of the evacuation.
