Nigel Farages final speech to European Parliament cut short after he waves flag

Nigel Farage's farewell speech to the European Parliament was cut short after he said goodbye by brandishing a Union flag along with his Brexit Party colleagues. European Parliament's Mairead McGuinness gave the group a dressing down, saying: “Please sit down, resume your flags, put your flags away and take them with you if you're leaving now.“ Mr Farage finished his speech by saying: “I know you're going to miss us, I know you want to ban our national flags, but we're going to wave you goodbye.“ His Brexit Party MEPs cheered 'hip hip hooray' and gave him a standing ovation.
