A look at how the UK’s main newspapers are reporting Brexit Day

A look at the front pages of Britain’s national newspapers which are dominated by the historical exit from the European Union that will be taking place today at midnight.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson will hail the “dawn of a new era” later, as the UK prepares to leave the European Union after 47 years.

Little will change immediately, as the UK begins a “transition period”.

Most EU laws will continue to be in force – including the free movement of people – until the end of December, by which time the UK aims to have reached a permanent free trade agreement with the EU.

Supporters of the EU are expected to take part in a procession through Whitehall at 15:00 GMT to “bid a fond farewell” to the union.

Later, Brexiteers will gather in Parliament Square for a celebration, and a clock counting down to the moment the UK leaves the EU will be projected on to Downing Street.

Buildings along Whitehall will be lit up and Union flags will be flown from all the poles in Parliament Square.

A new commemorative 50p coin will also come into circulation to mark the UK’s withdrawal.

However, Big Ben will not chime at 23:00 GMT due to ongoing renovation works.
