The UK's most Eurosceptic town is set to celebrate
The UK's most Eurosceptic town is set to celebrate "long into the night" as the country leaves the European Union.
People in Boston, Lincolnshire, were in high spirits on Friday - saying they expected "plenty of parties" when the bonds are officially broken at 11pm.
In the 2016 referendum, 75.6% of people in Boston voted to leave the EU - the highest in the UK.
Despite the party atmosphere, some residents said they would not be satisfied unless the Government "continue to keep to their word".
One resident, Brian Shaw, 76, said it was a landmark day for the country and he "cannot wait to stop being ruled by the EU".
He told the PA news agency: "I'm very pleased. I've voted Labour all my life until this time when I voted Conservative because I knew they would get it through.
"I don't like the Conservatives, but they did what I wanted them to do.
"A friend of mine has got a Union Jack ready to put on his house at 11pm tonight.
"I'm usually in bed at 10pm but I shall stay up tonight - I'll be celebrating long into the night, I've got the beer ready.
"There will certainly be plenty of parties around here - I think people are just fed up with immigration.
"I cannot wait to stop being ruled by the EU."
In the town's Wetherspoons pub, salesmen Jason Chambers, 37, Paul Burrell, 44, and Lee Blackbourn, also 44, had bought a bottle of champagne to toast the occasion.
Mr Chambers told PA: "The champagne is a toast to Brexit and to the country getting back on its feet."
Asked if they would be celebrating into the night, Mr Burrell said: "We'll see what happens, we've got work tomorrow."
Mr Chambers added: "We can't do too much, we struggle to earn a crust in this town."
Another resident, Dean Smith, 59, said he was pleased the UK was officially leaving, but said he would only be happy if the Government "keep their word".
He told PA: "Brexit is obviously a good thing. It could be the way this town gets back on its feet.
"But I'll only be satisfied if the Government continues to keep their word and follows through with what they said they were going to do."
