British celebs react to Brexit victory
Writer JK Rowling tweeted: "Scotland will seek independence now. Cameron's legacy will be breaking up two unions. Neither needed to happen."
"I can't get my head around what's happening in Britain.I'm so sorry to the youth of Britain. I fear you've been let down today x," TV host James Corden posted on his Twitter page.
Actor Hugh Laurie posted: "Congratulations exiters. Reverse is across and down, easy on the clutch."
David Cameron, who fought for the remain campaign in the EU referendum and had put his neck on the line almost in his impassioned plea to voters to keep Britain in the EU, announced on Friday to resign in three months as the British Prime Minister.
Cameron, who served as the Prime Minister for six years, spoke in a broken voice as he announced his resignation.
"....the British people have made a very clear decision to take a different path, and as such, I think the country requires fresh leadership to take it in this direction," he said reading out a statement before 10 Downing Street.
Despite a close battle, Britain has voted (52 percent) to leave the European Union in a historic referendum on Thursday as results were declared on Friday, thus severing a tie of decades and dealing a blow to the European unity.
