LONDON -- The results are in, and Britain is out.
However, in the aftermath of this historic decision, the world - and Glastonbury - goes on, and we wanted to know what people are thinking about the outcome of the EU referendum there.

"Because I didn't actually believe it was going to happen, I hadn't thought through all the full implications... because I felt that the campaign was so buzzword-based rather than fact-based, I find it hard to see one way or the other, but I don't personally feel concerned about what's happened. I feel that we'll find a way through."
"I think clearly there are people in the country that are very unhappy and have voted exit almost to show a protest, thinking that it will fix lots of the problems that they consider in the country, but I don't think actually [leaving] Europe is what will fix those problems. I think it will send the country into quite a lot of economic turmoil and the costs and time it's going to take to get out I don't think is a good thing. I think we are better united with other countries as we typically have been."
"I just don't think that's a true representation of the people that I know and the people that I've spoken to about it. It's a bit of a shame, but you never know what's going to happen, and it might be a good thing that's going to happen. At the moment I don't see it, but who knows what's going to happen."
"I think it's a politics of exclusion. I think it's a danger to our economy. My main thing is that I feel it's affecting the future of our children. The vast majority of people who are aged under 30 voted to remain, and they're the people who are going to have to live with the consequences of the leave vote. I think it's very small-mindedness because yes, they're are loads of really good reasons why the European Union doesn't work, but there are loads of reasons why it does work really well... It's not the country I want, the country I want is one that leads by example, not by going off and doing its own thing."
"At first I thought it was a good thing. The people who run the EU - I don't know who they are. I couldn't name any of them, no-one I knew could name any of them. It just seemed a bit dodgy how these people could override some of our laws. I'm not too sure, I'm not too informed. But I think we should stay in. All the old people I speak to, like my grandparents for instance, the reasons they think we should leave, they use these really old things that just aren't really relevant for today. That's what made me realise, and traveling as well. I enjoy traveling, I know that's not the main factor but it does help."
"I don't really know too much about it to agree with anything. I think being in would be the safest way."
Gray skies and damp weather have come to be expected as part of the festival fun, but by the sound of this lot, there's a different kind of cloud hanging over the heads of many.
