Nigel Farage celebrates #BrexitDay in the pub with a pint
Nigel Farage way has celebrated the triggering of Article 50 in typical style.
Sitting outside a Westminster pub with a large smile on his face, Mr Farage has finished his first pint.
Relaxed, he has been talking to journalists even while being heckled by an angry Remainer.
Earlier this morning, he made his plans to have a pint in the pub clear to Sky News, and said he doubted Douglas Carswell would be joining him.

Speaking from the pub, the former Ukip leader said: "Today's the day the impossible dream came true. I'm delighted.
He commented that the arguments for trade deals should be taken to the people of Europe and not just be made to politicians in Brussels.

"There may be politicians in Europe who are prepared to damage their own workers interests to keep the crumbling Union together.
