Mr Johnson, for Leave, sought to strike a positive note in his opening speech urging voters to "believe in ourselves" and "take back control" while his Conservative colleague Amber Rudd - making the case to remain in the EU - said, "as a mother", she did not want to take the "risk" of leaving the EU with her children's future.
The first question from the audience was about immigration - with Andrea Leadsom, for Leave, saying people were "genuinely struggling with access to public services" and the Remain side had "no answer" to that.
Labour's Angela Eagle, for Remain, said there were no "simple solutions" to the issue but Nicola Sturgeon said "our economy would suffer if we pull up the drawbridge". The answer to pressure on public services is to invest more in them, she added.
