The Britons have spoken and Britain is no more part of the European Union (EU).

In a historic referendum, the decision leaves the world's fifth-biggest economy facing deep uncertainty about its growth prospects and its attractiveness to investors, and which could hurt other economies in Europe and beyond.

But before 'Brexit' could have any repercussions on the economy, newspaper deadlines were affected because of the referendum - with major British dailies pushing back their deadlines from 5am to 6am.

Considered the as chroniclers of history, these are some of the 'Brexit' front pages of popular British dailies:

Daily tabloid, The Sun, did a play on words to announce the Britain leaving the EU, with the headline 'SEE EU LATER!':

One of the most popular British dailies, in print and online, the Daily Mirror went with a striking patriotic image for their Brexit front page:

The Daily Mail's front page showed a jubilant Nigel Farage with an 'excited' headline saying 'WE'RE OUT!'

Farage's jubilant photo might be on its way to becoming one of the defining moments of the referendum as The Times also went with a similar picture, with the headline 'Brexit for Britain'

The 'free' British daily, Metro, seemed to have gone to print before the official result was announced as the inconclusive headline said 'Heading Towards a Brexit'- with corresponding showing the contrasting reactions of 'Bremain' and 'Brexit' supporters.
