Former Mayor of London Boris Johnson cast his ballot in the referendum on the UK's European Union membership at a polling station in London, Thursday.
Johnson, who was accompanied by his wife Maria, has pledged loyalty to the 'Leave’ campaign that wants the UK out of the European Union.
There were 41,000 polling stations throughout the country which were open between 07:00 BST and 22:00 BST. An estimated 46,499,537 people were entitled to take part in the vote - a record number for a UK poll. Results are expected to become clear between 03.00-04.00 BST, however, if the vote is close, it may take until 08.00 BST.
It is the third nationwide referendum to take place in UK history. The last referendum was over Britain's membership of the European Economic Community back in 1975. If a Brexit does go ahead, it will take a minimum two years for Britain to leave the EU, but could take longer, depending on negotiations.
