    If you're just waking up, you've missed a very eventful night. 

    The United Kingdom - and the East of England - has voted to leave the European Union.

    It was a virtual clean sweep for Leave across the region with just Norwich, Cambridge and South Cambridgeshire in this part of the East voting to remain.

    We'll have all the reaction on this historic day to follow.
