However, while some people in Ipswich are celebrating, others will be marking the occasion with a candle-lit vigil on the Cornhill at 11pm, organised by the People's Vote campaign in the town.
The group says there will be no speeches or protest banners and is asking people to simply light candles to put on the steps of the Town Hall.
