Episode description
News of the EU referendum result gripped the nation and split opinion - but how did the first moments after the announcement actually sound?
At 4.40am on 24th June 2016, with some results yet to call, the BBC announced that the Leave campaign was projected to win the most votes.
Shortly afterwards at 5am, 5 Live's Nicky Campbell and Rachel Burden heard reaction from reporters, politicians and voters across the UK.
As Britain enters the transition period before leaving the EU, listen back to 5 Live Breakfast's first hour of coverage following the referendum result.
