Leave voter on BBC: "I'm shocked & worried. I voted Leave but didn't think my vote would count - I never thought it would actually happen."

According to polling, they’re not alone. Seven in ten voters expected a victory for Remain, including 54 percent of those who voted to Leave. It’s likely that some who voted to leave were looking to send a message, thinking their votes wouldn’t actually matter. But they certainly did.
