Boris Johnson will hail the "dawn of a new era" as he addresses the nation on Brexit day just before the historic moment the UK leaves the EU.
At 11pm tonight, bonds dating back to 1973 when the UK joined the European Economic Community will be broken, but Mr Johnson insists the divorce from Brussels is “not an end, but a beginning”.
Brexit day is expected to be greeted with both protests and celebrations across Britain.
In official events, Downing Street will be illuminated with a light show and a new 50p coin will enter circulation.
