David Dimbleby will be joined by BBC Political Editor Laura Kuenssberg reporting live for 11 hours the much-anticipated results of the EU Referendum, as they come in from the 382 counts across the country.
They will be joined by a variety of guests from the Remain and Leave camps, as well as experts, business leaders and political commentators to provide reaction and context to the results.
Jeremy Vine will provide a visual and virtual guide as the results are announced, and Emily Maitlis will be speaking to representatives from across the political spectrum to provide ongoing analysis and insight.

For the results night, political scientist and psephologist Professor John Curtice of the University of Strathclyde has helped the BBC develop a new predictive graphic that will help analyse the early trends as the results come in. This means David and the team can explain how each local result could potentially impact the national outcome.
