While some people seem happy with the EU vote, a number of you commenting on BBC Shropshire's Facebook page, external seem to be worried.
Tim Kemp worries that Britain will lose influence in the world: "The EU was not perfect. But it represented something important. It symbolised the hope we have for being stronger, more visionary and more impressive together. It also offered us the chance to influence well above our weight."

But some are taking a more laid back approach and Dionne Burgoyne wrote: "I am amazed at the number of people who have gone straight into panic mode - this is the morning after the night before - calm down folks - we will get through this, nothing worth fighting for is ever easy."

Image source, Shropshire Chamber of CommerceMr Winter also said he was pleased to hear David Cameron would remain as prime minister for the next few months, to allow the economy to stabilise.
Police say a body of a man found in dense woodland by the A5 near Shrewsbury is that of missing Shropshire man, Stuart Downes.
It was found by officers at 10:25 today.

The MP for Telford, Lucy Allan, called the vote to leave the European Union a victory for "ordinary people" who felt "under-represented, ignored, cut off from the political elites".

Ms Allan said the country now needed stability and had previously called for David Cameron to continue as prime minister.

You're continuing to give your thoughts on our Facebook page, external, following the result of the EU referendum.
Image source, PARachael Jones said she was worried about the future: "This won't tackle illegal immigrants who already are going to drastic measures to reach British soil. This will only penalise the ones who come here on correct measure from inside the EU."
Chris Hulse isn't concerned though: "No need to be appalled, scared, frightened, we ran our country really well before 1973, we will do it again."
And Liz Humphries said it was the right decision to hold the referendum: "We never had chance to voice an opinion, although we'd lived outside the common market, as it was then. My father never wanted in, he said it would ruin the country. I think many have agreed, something needs to change."
The boss of Shropshire Chamber of Commerce has urged for calm, external after markets took a major hit in the wake of Britain's historic Brexit vote.

Adam Fejfer is a Polish man working in Shropshire and he said he's worried about his future in the UK, following Britain's vote to leave the EU.
Image source, ThinkstockHe told us his son has been born here and now he doesn't want to go home, but believes it will be expensive to remain.
The right of Europeans is something which will have to be renegotiated now, but some EU nationals could be left without the right to work in the UK - in which case they would have to apply for work permits or visas.
Quote MessageProbably I will have to spend a few good quid for my British citizenship which will be expensive for me and my family. I am really scared."

He also said he had hopes that steel workers and other British businesses would benefit.
Image source, APBut Jenifer from Ludlow called the result of the referendum "devastating for the country" and the recovery of the UK economy had been put at risk.
She said "we've had a good relationship with Europe" and that she was worried for small companies which were just getting off the ground.
