The demolition of the "Jungle" migrant camp in France has begun.
A team of workers began pulling down tents, shacks and other makeshift shelters that thousands have called home over the past two years.
More than 3,100 migrants have been bussed out of the camp in the port town of Calais since authorities began a sweep on Monday, sending them to regions around the country to begin a months-long process for resettlement.
The Jungle has become a gritty symbol of Europe's migrant crisis and has been a thorn in the French government's side. But to a tight-knit community there, it is also a symbol of determination and resilience.
