Britain, You'll Never Walk Alone': European Media Bids Emotional Farewell To Britain As Some Ask If Brexit Means 'Nightmare' For EU

There have been mixed reactions in Europe's newspapers to the UK's withdrawal from the European Union last night. 

On the stroke of 11pm on Friday, the UK officially divorced from the bloc after three years of bitter political struggle that split families and paralysed Westminster.  

The departure was greeted with varying responses by European newspapers, with Germany's Die Welt likening Britain's departure to John Cleese's famous Ministry of Silly Walks sketch and Italy's La Repubblica asking if Brexit signalled a 'nightmare'.
