New beginnings for the UK after Brexit?

Britain has left the European Union, bringing the curtain down on 47 years of membership.

Almost four years on from the 2016 referendum, the UK ceased to be a member of the bloc at 11pm on Friday.

Sky News marked the moment by projecting a Brexit countdown clock on the white cliffs of Dover, which ended in the historic announcement, "The UK has left the EU."
