Out of 440 voting areas across the country, the Yes votes supporting change made up the majority in only 10 areas.

The 10 areas are: Cambridge, Camden, Edinburgh Central, Glasgow Kelvin, Hackney, Haringey, Islington, Lambeth, Oxford, Southwark.

The North East were most opposed to change - with 71.95% voting No.

London, Northern Ireland and Scotland were most sympathetic to the Yes campaign - with 60% of voters in the London borough of Hackney voting Yes.
