UK Brexit Party members departed the European Parliament building in Brussels for the final time on Friday, the day the country leaves the EU.

Brexit Party member Anne Widdecombe led the jubilant MEPs out of the building as a man played the bagpipe.

Speaking to a large media contingent, Widdecombe said that the party's "duty was done" and that January 31 was the day "17.4 million Britons had been waiting for."
