Theresa May has officially become
Prime Minister and immediately made a bold statement by appointing
Boris Johnson as Foreign Secretary.
Mrs May set to work on Wednesday evening by making several Cabinet appointments, including replacing George Osborne with Philip Hammond as Chancellor.
Amber Rudd took Mrs May's old position as Home Secretary, while Michael Fallon was kept on as Defence Secretary.
Prominent Brexit supporters David Davis and Liam Fox took on the new briefs of Minister for Brexit and Secretary of State for International Trade respectively.
After her formal appointment by the Queen, Mrs May promised to lead a "one-nation" government dedicated to social justice and making "Britain a country that works for everyone".
Alluding to the tough negotiations that lie ahead over Britain's exit from the European Union, she said, "we face a time of great national change".
But she said Britain would "rise to the challenge" and forge "a bold new positive role" in the world.
