From Reader George:

A Russian carrier fleet which passed through the English Channel today deployed heavily-armed guards to deter anyone approaching the warships.

A number of guards, equipped with AK-74 assault rifles and heavy machine guns were spotted on the flight deck of the Admiral Kuznetsov as it passed by the White Cliffs of Dover.

The powerful fleet was ordered to pass through the Channel, which is one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world, in single file.

Vladimir Putin ordered the fleet to travel to the Mediterranean within sight of the English coast as a show of force.

Bemused passengers on board cross-Channel ferries looked on as the grey warships picked their way through the civilian traffic.
