UK's Johnson heads to Buckingham Palace to ask to form government
Johnson made the short journey to Buckingham Palace after his Conservative Party won an unexpectedly large majority in Thursday's national election.
Britain is speeding towards Brexit after that win, ending three years of uncertainty since the country decided to leave the bloc.
Exiting the European Union, a goal Johnson has pursued relentlessly since he put himself forward as the face of the victorious "Leave" campaign in a 2016 referendum, is Britain's biggest leap into the unknown since World War Two.
