Muddy hell! Glastonbury lament of festival fans who, er, forgot to vote in the EU referendum

Young people overwhelmingly supported Britain remaining in the EU – and many now complain they have been betrayed by the Brexit-backing older generation. But how many young adults actually voted in the referendum?
