LONDON: David Cameron chaired his final cabinet meeting on Tuesday after six years as Britain´s prime minister, with incoming premier Theresa May preparing to form a new government to deliver Brexit.
May led tributes to Cameron at the meeting, which was described by ministers as "emotional", and posed for photographers on the steps of the premier´s 10 Downing Street residence afterwards.
Cameron´s end came sooner than expected after dramatic twists in the contest to replace him led to his swift exit from power less than three weeks after the nation´s seismic vote to quit the European Union.
May will come under immediate pressure from EU leaders to set out a timetable for Brexit.
The European Commission´s eco**my chief Pierre Moscovici urged May to accelerate the process.
"That´s what I think a lot of people expect and hope and call for," he said in Brussels, adding that further delays would prolong damaging uncertainty for the eco**my.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel said late Monday: "The United Kingdom will need to quickly clarify how it wants its ties with the European Union to be in future."
Cameron an**unced he would step down after leading the failed campaign for Britain to remain in the EU in the June 23 referendum.
Home Secretary May, the interior minister, was declared the new leader of the governing centre-right Conservative Party on Monday after junior energy minister Andrea Leadsom, her only remaining challenger for the post, withdrew from the contest.
