There was nostalgia, patriotism and defiance on the streets of Britain as the clock struck Brexit. Leading Leave campaigner Nigel Farage led celebrations outside parliament

LONDON - The United Kingdom finally cast off from the European Union on Friday for an uncertain future, with Brexiteers claiming victory and popping champagne corks for an “independence day” they said marked a new era for the country.

On the white cliffs of Dover, the message: “The UK has left the EU” was projected between a British and an EU flag. He celebrated in Downing Street with English sparkling wine and a distinctly British array of canapés including Shropshire blue cheese and Yorkshire puddings with beef and horseradish.

For proponents, Brexit is “independence day” — an escape from what they cast as a German-dominated project with a doomed single currency that is failing its 500 million people.

Confidence in the UK's many strengths and unity among its divided people are the key to a successful post Brexit future.

Phew, I was worried about them. Thanks Martin, I guess I'll just enjoy the fall out....worry free.

Parties over now hard part, voters waking up to they voted against their best interest 🤡’ns 🤷🏼‍♀️

Congrats 🎉🎊🎈🍾 Britons, starting anew is a excitingly wonderful thing 👊👊 Brexit BrexitDay BrexitCelebration BrexitParty

How? By sheer force of will Brexit really starts in November once all ties are cut to the EU. 11 months to get everything into place? Pfft ...

well now they have to accept and hope for the best. No point in regrets.

I only saw celebrations...

Didn't want show the thousands celebrating in Parliament Square then.

Soon to come is that feeling where they find themselves sitting in their recliner in week-old underwear, staring at the test pattern on the telly, wondering how everything went so wrong. Not sure if that feeling has a name.

What happens if the UK and the EU cannot get a 'deal' by 31 December? No deal?

The UK couldn't accept a secondary status in a huge multinational entity (the EU), having been self-appointed as a 'Great Britain' prior to WWII. But, they still head the Commonwealth, a thinly veiled scam to still rule over their former colonies, not by force, but by cunning.

The grieving period

To the first lady - I've lived & worked all over the world. Tell your kids to get real, valuable skills (ie no degrees with studies in title) & they can too. Not just in the countries which can't refuse you entry, like you had to.

😭😪

it is time to Ireland to separate from Britain

All good

No there wasnt

The last shot of your clip suggests Brexit win is better than a World Cup win. Reality check UK you haven’t won a World Cup since 1966 and are unlikely to win ever again. 70% of your population was born or immigrated to England after 1966. You believe your own Brexit lie

A worst decision and the repercussions will be disastrous like Scotland splitting away from the UK.

The country is not yet completely run by remainers. They should at least give change a chance.

Free trade and travel zone with UK and USA long over do!! Australia and New Zealand too!

Ann widdecombe at her best yesterday don't blame the Brexit party if Brexit fails 🤔

Rueters reporting at it’s finest, thousands of people celebrating in the streets and one or two Liberals that, “just can’t believe it” being interviewed. It’s not like the people only voted for this once, why do you think Johnson won in a landslide

We are all with mixed fellings about brexit

ये अमेरिका की गुलामी करेंगे ।

Not a very high IQ average in that primary coloured melee...

They can't blame Europe for their own failures anymore time to disappear Farage

fyi fatihaltayli

Forgive them for they know not what they do

The EU is the 4th reich. Well done UK!

FFS. Embarrassing as fk.

The English of the European Union left. Time will tell if it was a right decision or not. For now it is still a historical event today.

look at all the people celebrating their self-inflicted global demise. Congrats!

Please do not make this appear to be more extensive than a few drunken fools gathering around the King of Fools, Farage. These noisy few are not representative of the millions who are devastated by this BrexitShambles IamEuropean

Nelson, Churchill, Farage!
