The United Kingdom is no longer part of the European Union some 3-and-a-half years after the country voted to leave including 49,173 people living on the Isle of Wight.

In June 2016, the Isle of Wight firmly voted to leave the EU with 49,173 Islanders deciding to vote leave, against 30,207 votes to remain a leave vote of 61.95%. Since then, the Island has backed Conservative MP and Brexiteer Bob Seely not once, but twice in the General Election.

Earlier tonight the Prime Minister addressed the nation as Downing Street was lit up with a rememberable light show. He said that this is the dawn of a new era and that he will bring this country together and take us forward.

Throughout today Union Jacks have been flying in Parliament Square and across the country. In addition, a staggering 3 million brand new 50p Brexit coins entered circulation.

As Friday turns into Saturday nothing changes. However, over the next 11 months, the Government will be working to plan our the future relationship with the EU and agree trade deals with the world. The real changes will come in 2021.

Island Echo has been flying the Union Jack on the website header throughout the day to make this historic day.
