It comes after the over-50s travel giant, headquartered in Folkestone, confirmed it was suspending all cruises as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.

And that meant an early end to those on the firm's Discovery and Sapphire ships.

A number of vehicles from the holiday firm's fleet were also spotted parked nearby to where the vessel had been berthed at the Western Docks.

They are used to move and transport passengers.

A crane also removed a number of items from the liner's stores.
