UK votes to leave EU and Cameron quits, David Cameron announces he will step down as PM by October.

The London stock market has plunged in the wake of the UK's referendum vote to leave the EU.

Against the euro, the pound dropped 7% to about €1.2085.

The euro also fell 3.3% against the dollar, its biggest one-day fall since the currency's inception.

Currency traders say these moves are more extreme than those seen during the financial crisis of 2008.

The pound has collapsed to its lowest level in over 30 years, suffering its biggest one-day fall in living memory.
