'A beautiful dream destroyed': Britons in EU on no-deal Brexit

British citizens living in EU27 nations tell of feeling abandoned as a no-deal exit looms on horizon

If Brexit ends in no deal, many British people who live in the EU will become foreigners overnight - "third-country nationals" in legal language.

There is no EU equivalent of settled status for the 1.3 million British citizens in EU27 countries, although the European commission has urged EU governments to "take a generous approach" to securing their rights in the event of a no-deal Brexit.
