Reuters photographer Clodagh Kilcoyne: The thing about an old rusty tractor, said cockle-picker Tony McClure, is that even in the sea air, it will start. His was parked out on the tidal flats of Flookburgh sands in Morecambe Bay in northwest England, braving the salty shallows of an unusually warm February dawn. He was comparing old mechanical tractors to the more modern electronic kind, and I was well aware of what he was talking about. The tide here comes in fast: If you're not careful, it can swamp a vehicle. So you want be certain to get off that seabed. McClure 39, was one of the first people I met on a February-March assignment around England's coastline, where I was photographing and talking to people who had voted to leave the European Union. Like most of the 50 or so people I met and spoke to while traveling from Morecambe to St. Agnes in Cornwall, McClure wants Britain to get out of the EU.

Andy Clarke, a retired Fisheries officer in the Environment Agency who voted to leave the EU, has a pint of ale with his friends and a dog at the Ship Inn in Overton, Britain February 24, 2019. Clarke: "I think we should have been out 18 months ago after the vote. My biggest beef with the EU is fisheries policy and the farming policies. I think they have done a lot of damage to the environment. Putting dead fish back in the sea was always ridiculous. We get it back into our own hands and can police it properly."

Flowers and cockle shells left on the grave of poet Dylan Thomas, who is buried in the over-spill graveyard of St Martin's Church, Laugharne, Wales, June 12, 2014. Thomas died on November 5, 1953 while on a lecture tour of America. This year's centenary of Welsh poet Dylan Thomas's birth has sparked a creative explosion and for some is also a chance to reassess a writer whose bohemian reputation as a drunk and a womaniser has sometimes eclipsed his work. The Dylan Thomas 100 festival includes events across Wales - some of them in the estuary-side village of Laugharne where he and his wife Caitlin lived for 15 years - as well as in London and New York, where the poet died in 1953, aged just 39.
