People are managing to find the lighter side of Brexit - just about

Well, they’ve gone and done it. Britain has voted to leave the EU.

Neither side can quite believe it and no one can agree on what’s going to happen next. But, among the dire predictions, the internet, as it always does, has turned to humour.

So here’s a collection of the best reactions to take your mind off all the doom and gloom.

Others are wondering what's next

And a few were shocked to find out the true meaning of democracy

If you didn’t laugh, you’d cry etc.
