It’s seven years since Britain voted to leave the EU. We’ve dug up some archive reporting from the day after the vote.

Brexit supporters are waking up to the news they’ve been dreaming of – Britain has voted to leave the European Union.

The celebrations are kicking off online with people referring to the day of this historic result as ‘Independence Day’.

Huge congratulations on our Independence Day!!! A superb result for the UK

Others weren’t so keen on the idea.

Ugghh please none of this #IndependenceDay crap, we weren't conquered and oppressed. Let's have a bank holiday for kittens, we all love them

#Brexit xenophobia and hate won. This will hardly be #IndependenceDay. Spent so many years in this country that became home #feelingrejected
