This is the moment the UK left the EU after 47 years | ITV News

The UK has left the European Union after 47 years, more than three years after Britain voted for Brexit.

The moment at 11pm on Friday was marked with a light show in Downing Street.

It has taken three prime ministers and three Brexit secretaries for the UK to reach this stage - and the process is still not yet complete.

An 11-month transition period begins where the UK will look to negotiate a trade deal with the EU.
