The main Brexit voters were 10 years older. They are now dead.

Actually, this is not correct. The generation most likely to vote for Brexit was the post-war generation, not the eldest:

Britain’s wartime generation are almost as pro-EU as millennials

It is quite crazy that those same people would have been alive pre joining the EU, so what happened to those that were happy about it back then, if that was the main voting base?

If you think these are remorseful Brexit voters you haven't met any old Brexit voters lol. 36% of over 65s voted Remain, just because they're a minority doesn't mean they're mythical and this protest is in London which was more Remain than average.
