Russian diplomats and their families have left the UK in an expulsion following the the Salisbury spy attack.
Diplomatic vehicles drove them from the embassy in London to Stansted Airport, where they boarded a plane to Moscow.
The UK expelled 23 diplomats after Prime Minister Theresa May said Russia was "culpable" for the poisoning of Sergei Skripal and his daughter.
Moscow has denied all involvement, and is expelling 23 British diplomats in response. The UK diplomats have until Saturday to leave Russia.
The Kremlin is also closing down both the British Council in Russia, which promotes cultural ties between the nations, and the consulate in St Petersburg.
