A stunned European Union vowed to remain united on Friday despite Britain voting to leave, as fears grew that a “chain reaction” of further referendums could tear the bloc apart. As Brussels, Paris and Berlin woke up to the grim news, leaders warned of a difficult divorce in a sign that Britain will win few concessions in negotiating life outside the circle of the other 27 members of the bloc.
