Boris Johnson has given his final speech as the UK’s prime minister before Liz Truss takes over the role.

In a televised address outside Downing St, the outgoing prime minister said "I am like one of those booster rockets that has fulfilled its function".

He and his successor Liz Truss will now travel to Balmoral in Scotland where Johnson will offer his resignation to the Queen who will then appoint Truss as the new PM.
