Well I will say this, looking at the exit polls it looks like it if was just people 65 or younger voting, the "Remain" side would've won fairly easily. 

It's people 65 and over that tilted the scales ... and I have to question whether or not people, many of whom are likely to be dead in 10-15 years have the right to change the future of a country that they won't be living in pretty soon. 

Indeed, this picture says it all


Now I wonder what percentage of each age group turned out to vote.
With an important decision like this with results this close, a re vote should be in order.

That picture isn't how age groups voted though. It's yougov estimates from sampling 2000ish people. They also had a 10 point lead for remain.

 

It seems to be more geographical than after group based. However as 28% did not vote, only 35% or so actually chose to remain in the EU. That's a pretty overwhelming thumbs down to it really.
