A farewell to the EU projected onto the White Cliffs of Dover gave people feelings
On Friday morning, as the UK headed into its last few hours as part of the European Union, anti-Brexit campaign group, Led By Donkeys held what is presumably their last event, and certainly one of their biggest.

The powerful and heartfelt words of the veterans deeply moved those not relishing the prospect of Brexit.

I haven't said much about what's happening today. But as darkness falls on our last day, this says it all rather beautifully. https://t.co/fMmI8fGp4R

Beautiful. So beautiful. That made me cry.
Look after our star for us.
But we will take it into our safekeeping so we can all be together again soon, understanding better the audacious brilliance of this peace project.

The veterans’ messages had a very personal meaning for Elizabeth C. McLaughlin.
My grandfather fought the Nazis in WWII as a part of the allied forces. He passed in 1993, and was one of the most humane men I ever knew.
This broke me.
