Former Brigg sixth former David Yelland, who went on to become editor of top-selling national newspaper The Sun and is now a highly-regarded political commentator, had this to say on Twitter this morning about Britain's planned exit from the EU: "This will take years. Brexit: the world’s most complex divorce begins."
Whether people voted for or against staying in the EU, we think David has summed things up nicely.
