With Brexit just a few hours away, citizens on both sides of the historic divide have gotten emotional on 'Brexit Eve'. Britain will leave the European Union on January 31 at 11:00pm (2300 GMT) after joining the bloc in 1973. However, even though most changes will occur after the transition period ends on December 31, 2020, netizens were seen getting 'sad' about leaving EU. Some were boarding the flight for the last time to 'UK in EU', others were 'glad' that Britain will say 'bye to EU'.

'Brexit Eve'
The people on the internet seem to have mixed reactions about the Brexit day being finally here. One internet user also said that she wanted to bake cupcakes in order to 'get over the sadness', while others said, 'nothing will change' and that they have 'no tears' left to cry about the UK leaving the 27-nation-bloc. From Members of the UK Parliament to the normal citizens, all had something to say about the eve as it got closer.
Feeling a little bit emosh tonight as it’s the last night for the UK as a member of the EU. Identity is in your heart and not decreed by legislation, so I look forward to remaining a European after tomorrow #BrexitEve

Thank EU for food, for friends, for safety, for peace, for prosperity.
Thank EU for Erasmus, EU Youth Orchestra, Languages, holidays, art, music, literature, theatre, culture, Enlightenment.

Roaming fees
Green card needed for driving
Need more than 15 months left on passport
Pet passports to be scrapped#BrexitEve #BrexitDayhttps://t.co/mjaWogSa7n
It's #BrexitEve. All is lost. I have no tears left to cry. From here on, we shall all be forced to wait slightly longer before getting on a flight that we shouldn't even be getting on because of climate change. Sad day.

I’m in France on #BrexitEve and I just wanted to let you know that we are flushing ease of access to all this beauty down a toilet, because most of us think blue passports are more important. pic.twitter.com/hBC0VBUoAo

When you elect an MEP you elect someone to represent wider society on a European level. When you elect a Green MEP you elect someone who will do whatever it takes to protect the public interest.
