The RNLI has seen a surge of support following the latest Channel tragedy which saw four people die at sea
in the early hours of this morning while making the dangerous crossing to Britain.
Nearly 45,000 people have crossed the Channel in small and overcrowded dinghies in so far this year, while French authorities are believed to have stopped some 31,000 from making the journey, although many will have tried several times. But all the RNLI has been focused on throughout is saving people's lives at sea, and this morning's incident has shone a spotlight on the charity's work.Four people have been confirmed dead following the latest Channel capsizing.

They're volunteer-run, exceptionally skilled and do an outstanding job on the frontline day in, day out."Keir Starmer slams Rishi Sunak on eve of first-ever nurses strike, labelling it a 'badge of shame for this government'
