LONDON - Singing patriotic songs and waving Union Jacks, thousands of Britons flocked to a muddy patch of grass outside parliament on a damp Friday night to toast their moment of history: Britain's departure from the European Union.

The crowd erupted into cheers as the clock hit 11 p.m. , the moment of Britain's exit. After a barrage of fireworks, smoke filled the area as onlookers hugged, popped champagne corks and filmed the moment on their phones. A video montage providing a potted history of Britain's relationship with Europe drew pantomime boos for proponents of the EU like former Labor Prime Minister Tony Blair, while anti-EU figures like Johnson, Farage and Margaret Thatcher were loudly cheered.
