More than 2,000 people spent hours trapped inside the Channel Tunnel after four Eurostar trains broke down due to cold weather.

The trains failed as they left the cold air in northern France and entered the warmer tunnel.

These passengers spent 15 hours trapped on board the train and told the BBC's Matt Prodger they had been treated ''like animals''.
