Remainers are enjoying a renewal of Brexit hysteria today as Theresa May finally triggers Article 50 to leave the European Union.

Labour members are now holding candlelight vigils to 'mourn' the loss of EU membership, though Britain won't officially leave for around two years.

One Bremoaner has even pledged to wear black for 50 hours - dedicating just over two days to the cause - to show her sorrow as Article 50 is triggered.

Others maintain that pro-Brexit campaigners will live to regret the decision, with comedian Ricky Gervais protesting with a meme of a suited man holding a cigar in his mouth that has exploded.

Scottish Independence campaigners have also jumped on the event, writing mournful odes to the European Union, with columnist Angry Salmon gushing: 'Scotland loves you. We didn't vote for this Article 50 nonsense. See you again soon.'
