MEPs leave European Parliament on final day of UK’s EU membership

The Brexit Party marked the achievement of their only goal by staging a ‘Brexodus’.

There was a “moving day” feel in the European Parliament on the final day of the UK’s membership of the EU as staff and MEPs lugged the last of their boxes out of the building.

The names of the UK’s delegation were still mostly on their former pigeon holes, although some tags – including Nigel Farage’s – had been taken by souvenir hunters.

Outside the parliament building several tourists posed next to the Union flag which is still flying and is likely to be taken down at dusk on Friday.
