The European Union (EU) and Britain reached an agreement on the status of the overseas territory of Gibraltar on Wednesday which facilitates border crossings and ends years of political uncertainty.

The UK has agreed a deal with the European Union over Gibraltar's status after Brexit.

The UK said the agreement would avoid the need for checks on people and goods crossing the Gibraltar-Spain border.
