Anti-Brexit campaigners have unveiled a billboard on the Irish border, saying the "fight goes on" over leaving the EU.

The campaign group Border Communities Against Brexit says it is staging a series of protests along the border on Friday night.

They will also take their message to Stormont later today.

Senior Sinn Fein figures joined the group on Friday morning on the Armagh/Lough border, including party president Mary Lou McDonald and vice president Michelle O'Neill.

Reality Check

The Reality Check team has been answering lots of questions about the practical details of what will happen after Brexit.

Almost everything will stay the same until the end of this year during the transition period.

You can read about the small number of things that are changing here.

And we've been looking at what we know about some other areas that lots of people have been asking about:

• What could happen to Erasmus scheme after Brexit?
• What will happen to pet passports after Brexit?
• How will it affect UK pensioners in Europe?
• What changes for EU citizens living in the UK?

There is no escaping the melancholy in many European papers marking Britain's departure from the European Union.

Images of a rent EU flag or its broken and scattered stars illustrate the fears many have for Brexit's impact on the union.

There's also relief that this milestone has finally been reached, and there are hopes of rebuilding ties with Britain as a trading partner.

Some believe Britain will find new strength in its self-reliance.

But accompanying this is a continued wariness of the uncertainty in trade negotiations to come.

Take a look at Europe's front pages here.

A pro-EU campaign group has unveiled a banner and lit flares on Westminster Bridge.

The sign - hung on the bridge by Another Europe - reads: "Here to stay, here to fight - migrants in, Tories out."

Ahead of his cabinet meeting in Sunderland, Boris Johnson has been touring the Institute for Automotive and Manufacturing Advanced Practice - otherwise known as the AMAP.

It is part of the faculty of technology at the University of Sunderland, so there was lots of kit to show the prime minister.

Here are some snapshots of his visit.

The Austrian postal service, Österreichische Post, has issued a stamp to mark Brexit.

It was originally intended to be issued last March, so it also includes the date 29 March 2019, which has been crossed out.

Candlelit vigils are planned across Scotland as part of a series of events marking Brexit day.

Organisers of the Leave a Light On gatherings are inviting people to join them to mark the "sad occasion" of the UK's exit from the European Union.

Meanwhile supporters of Brexit are being invited to celebrate the moment the country leaves the EU in Glasgow's George Square.

Scots voted by 62% to 38% to remain in the EU in the 2016 referendum.

The overall UK result backed Leave by 52% to 48%.

Ahead of the vigils, Brexit day was marked in Glasgow at one of the city's most famous landmarks.

The red and white traffic cone normally seen on the statue of the Duke of Wellington was replaced with a headpiece adorned in the colours of the EU flag.

Jeremy Corbyn says the country "has to move on" now Brexit has arrived.

The Labour leader says today is "a very important day for everybody", regardless of which way they voted, as it would "decide the future direction of the country".

He says the UK needs to "make sure we maintain good relations" with the EU, and not to "fall into the arms of a free tree deal with the United States".

"It is carrying out results of the 2016 referendum and we have got to recognise that and move on," adds Mr Corbyn.

Mr Corbyn has been known to hold Eurosceptic views in the past, and the reporter asks if he has any joy about today.

He replies: "I voted to remain in the referendum and indeed campaigned for that, [but] we got the result we didn’t want, I have to accept that.

"I have had criticisms of it and the direction it wanted to go at various times... but I have also been very supportive of many of the social measures.

"I have a lot of respect and frustrations, as anyone does with any large bureaucracy."

A love letter to the EU from two World War Two veterans has been beamed onto the White Cliffs of Dover ahead of Brexit.

The Kent landmark was lit up on Friday by a video - translated into French and German - featuring Stephen Goodall and Sidney "Sid" Daw.

The location was chosen as it was the same stretch of coastline that soldiers first saw when returning from Dunkirk in 1940.

Mr Goodall, 97, who served in the Army for 32 years, said: "I feel really depressed at the idea that we are leaving Europe because it has meant so much to me.

"I like to be called a European. And the feeling that one has of comradeship as one goes round Europe is really quite something."

He added: "At my age I shan't be living much longer but I hope that, for the sake of my children and my grandchildren and my great-grandchildren, that England, Britain will move back to be much closer to Europe than what we have done now."

Mr Daw, 95, fought in France, Holland, Belgium and Germany during the war.

He said: "I feel very, very sad about it all because we don't know which way things are going."

Appealing to those on the continent, Mr Daw said: "Look from your side to this side, see these white cliffs, and we're looking across at you feeling we want to be together and we will be together before long, I'm sure."
