Violence has flared at the notorious 'jungle' refugee camp in Calais as the countdown to its planned demolition enters its final hours.
French riot police fired tear gas to disperse migrants reportedly throwing stones and lighting fires as the sun set on the final night for many living in the sprawling camp.
Over the next 24 hours French authorities will begin the mass evacuation of at least 6,500 refugees, many of them families and unaccompanied children, estimated to be living in the camp.

The demolition is due to begin tomorrow and by the end of the week the camp will have been emptied and destroyed.
