Mr Cameron will face his last Prime Minister’s Questions in the Commons, before heading to Buckingham Palace to tender his resignation to the Queen.

May has also said that she will not initiate the exit negotiations before the end of the year.

Before that however, Mr Cameron attended Prime Minister’s Questions, to field accolades from both sides of the bench, and questions from Labour’s current leader Jeremy Corbyn.

“The spirit of service is one of this country’s most remarkable qualities”, Mr Cameron continued.

David Cameron’s legacy as Prime Minister will be as the man who took the United Kingdom to the “brink of being taken out of the European Union”, Angus Robertson has told him.

During his tribute, Mr Kinahan said the prime minister had visited Northern Ireland “often” during his six-year tenure.

Mr Cameron said it is right that MPs will vote on Trident and that “many people in Scotland support our nuclear deterrent”.

“My only wish is continued success for this great country that I love very much”.

Labour frontbenchers tried patronising “farewell” waves, but moments later their party was receiving another rhetorical biffing from the Prime Minister who has bested a string of Labour leaders. Cameron once said that the brown and white tabby cat was happy just sitting on the chair in the hallway and “doesn’t get up and get out much. You have kept me vaguely sane”. Samantha Cameron, who has remained a consultant to the British luxury brand Smythson throughout her husband’s tenure, has declined to comment on the reports. “Nothing is really impossible if you put your mind to it”, he said.

Mr Corbyn, in turn, pointed out that Theresa May, the former Home Secretary and new Prime Minister, had once complained of workers “exploited by unscrupulous bosses” – implying that Mrs May had been talking about Mr Cameron.
