What is Brexit?
The people of Britain voted for a British exit, or Brexit, from the EU in a historic referendum on Thursday June 23.
The outcome has prompted jubilant celebrations among Eurosceptics around the the Continent and sent shockwaves through the global economy.
After the declaration of the result, the pound fell to its lowest level since 1985 and David Cameron resigned as Prime Minister of this country.
Mr Cameron said: “I will do everything I can as Prime Minister to steady the ship over the coming weeks and months.
"But I do not think it would be right for me to try to be the captain that steers our country to its next destination.”
The new Prime Minister Theresa May has already set out Britain's positions in meetings with the leaders of France, Germany and other key European nations.
