A passenger vessel with 151 people on board crashed into the Canary Wharf Pier on the Thames in London on Sunday after its engine caught fire.

Nobody on board was injured, and the fire was put out before firefighters arrived at the scene.

The Port of London Authority said 300-tonne boat Erasmus is currently "safe and secure" and will be towed away in due course.
