The transition period for the Uk to leave the European Union ended on 31 December 2020.

At 23:00 GMT on December 31, the BBC and other media broadcast the ringing of London's "Big Ben". At this moment, Brussels, where the EU is headquartered, and most of the European continent have entered 2021, which means the end of the 11-month "Brexit" transition period.

"This is a wonderful moment for our country," British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said in his New Year's address on the same day, "Freedom is in our hands!" ”

The Uk supports the "Brexit" camp to celebrate this moment. The daily express front page of the photo is of the sea cliff in Dover, England, and a British flag reads: Freedom. The media's website has a live "Brexit" column with the headline: "Happy Brexit".

The anti-Brexit camp in the UK is worried about the future of the country. The Independent wrote: "Decoupling, or drifting? ”

Scottish Government Chief Minister Nikola Sturgeon, who supports Remain, directly "overtures" the EU on social media: "Europe, Scotland will be back soon. Keep the lights. ”

French President Emmanuel Macron said in his New Year's address that Britain "remains our neighbour and friend and ally".

Michel Barnier, the EU's chief negotiator in charge of Brexit, told the media, "It's a divorce ... There's nothing to celebrate", "No one has convinced me that 'Brexit' has more benefits".

Towards the end of the Brexit transition period, French citizen François Graffin boarded the Eurostar train bound for London, England, in Paris. He wanted to grasp the "aftermath" of his life in London and then return to Live in France. "My heart is broken." Graffin said. (Hui Xiaoshuang) [Xinhua News Agency Micro Feature]
