Residents of Gibraltar vote overwhelmingly to continue under British rule, rather to become Spanish. Spain has recently blockaded the "Rock" and urged its "de-colonization". A British crowd gathered outside of a polling station stands in front of a Coca-Cola sign. Pro-British supporters are costumed in red, blue and white. Voters cast ballots. An old man in the crowd wears dark sunglasses and gives the PEACE SIGN to the camera as he enters a building. In the background a woman smiles. Amongst a crowd of voters a family gives the PEACE SIGN to the camera as they stand in a city street- father, son and wife.
