Watching the scenes in the European Parliament in Brussels on television last evening it was profoundly sad to see European Parliament back terms of UK's exit.
The antics of Nigel Farage and the flying of the Union Jack was vulgar and rude.
There was an ironic touch when Irish woman Mairead McGuinness, who is a vice-president of the European Parliament, reprimanded the Brexit Party for their behaviour in the parliament. She told them it was forbidden to fly flags in the parliament building.
On a bright and friendly note, European Parliamentarians sang Auld Lang Syne after approving the Brexit deal.
The UK is the first state to leave the European Union.
It is also worth noting that today reminds Germans of a black day in their recent history.
On January 30, 1933 Adolf Hitler was sworn in as Chancellor of Germany.
