The United Kingdom has departed the European Union, marking 1,317 days since the country voted to leave in a 2016 referendum.
After receiving Queen Elizabeth II’s approval last Thursday, the Brexit bill became law, setting up the country’s departure from the EU.
U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson tweeted about the nation’s newly declared sovereignty: “Tonight we have left the EU — an extraordinary turning point in the life of this country. Let us come together now to make the most of all the opportunities Brexit will bring — and let’s unleash the potential of the whole UK.”
