An historic day has changed the face of British politics.

The UK's decision to leave the European Union after more than 40 years of membership has already had far reaching consequences.

Billions have been wiped off financial markets, hitting the value of the pound and shocking the British Prime Minister - who has resigned after losing the vote.

The man tipped to replace him - Boris Johnson - claims it represents a glorious opportunity for the UK.

But in Scotland - where people voted to remain - first minister Nicola Sturgeon's begun planning for a fresh independence vote.
