We look at some of the tweets so far as the UK triggers Article 50 and starts negotiations to leave the EU.
The letter that will trigger Article 50 is set to be delivered at 12.30pm and will mark the beginning to two years of negotiations to exit the European Union.
We look at some of tweets so far from both our vaunted politicians and the industry:

Whilst London Money is hoping the letter is returned
I hope the EU reject the letter because it hasn't been addressed to them properly and no one certified it as a true original.
