David Cameron has announced his resignation after the British public rejected his personal entreaties and voted to leave the European Union.
“The will of the British people is an instruction that must be delivered,” the prime minister said.
He promised to remain in post until the autumn, to “steady the ship”, but said: “I do not think it would be right for me to be the captain who steers the country to its next destination.” He revealed that he had already spoken to the Queen to make his plans clear.
The dramatic announcement came after a sharp fall in the pound and as £128bn was wiped off the FTSE 100.

Cameron said: “I am honoured to have been prime minister of this country for six years.”
