UK’s Cameron heads to palace to resign as leader

David Cameron has left 10 Downing St. to go to Buckingham Palace to tender his resignation as prime minister.

Cameron says Wednesday it was the “greatest honor” of his life to serve as prime minister. Surrounded by his wife and children, Nancy, Elwen and Florence, Cameron offers an assessment of his tenure saying he left the country stronger and better off.

He wishes his successor Theresa May luck in her negotiations to have Britain leave the European Union — the matter that caused his political career’s demise.

He poses for images in front the shiny black door, waves, and embarks on the brief trip to the palace.
