David Cameron is about to be evicted from the home he has enjoyed for the last six years and 62 days as his premiership comes to an end. Removal vans have already arrived to cart off many of his belongings and Mr Cameron has eaten his last supper.

Later today, Mr Cameron will leave 10 Downing Street for the final time as Prime Minister. After facing his final and 182nd Prime Minister's Questions in the Commons, he will head to Buckingham Palace to offer his resignation to the Queen.

The man who once promised to stop the Conservative party “banging on about Europe” announced he would be stepping down after losing the EU referendum in June.

The 49-year-old will be the youngest Prime Minister to leave office since the Earl of Roseberry in 1895 while Theresa May becomes the oldest incoming PM since Jim Callaghan back in 1976.

From embarrassing remarks caught on camera to the moment Boris Johnson announced he would be backing Brexit, here is a look back at some of the most memorable moments of his premiership in pictures.
