An earthquake measuring 5 point 4 on the Richter scale has rattled parts of south-east England.
Some homes in county Kent have been damaged, with chimneys collapsing and large cracks appearing in walls.
Local residents say the tremor lasted about 10 to 15 seconds.
The quake’s epicentre was near the entrance of the Channel Tunnel, but it hasn’t so far effected services to France and Belgium.
There are no reports of injury.
