The UK has voted to leave the European Union in the historic referendum.

The Out campaign passed the winning post with a lead of more than one million votes - a margin of 51.8% to 48.2%.

The pound plummeted to a 31-year low as the market responded to the prospect of the UK splitting from Brussels after 43 years.

UKIP leader Nigel Farage hailed the result - which is expected to be officially declared shortly - as "our independence day".

The outcome plunges into doubt the future of the Prime Minister David Cameron, who campaigned for Remain after calling the referendum.

However, more than 80 pro-Brexit Tory MPs, including Boris Johnson and Michael Gove, have signed a letter backing Mr Cameron to stay in Downing Street to negotiate our departure.

The Prime Minister will give a statement in the coming hours - with Out figurehead Mr Johnson not expected to speak until after that.

Labour has said Mr Cameron should "seriously consider his position", while Mr Farage said he should quit "immediately".

The result has prompted Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon to raise the prospect of a second independence referendum there.

She argued the EU vote "makes clear that the people of Scotland see their future as part of the European Union" after all 32 local authority areas north of the border returned majorities for Remain.

Sinn Fein sources also said Brexit should lead to a poll on Irish unity, after Northern Ireland voted by 56% to 44% to Remain.

The EU vote exposed splits across the UK, with Leave performing strongly in the English shires, Wales and north eastern towns and cities like Sunderland, Middlesbrough and Hartlepool.

Remain secured decisive majorities in London, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

The turnout was 72.1% - the highest in a national poll since the 1992 general election.
