Gibraltar is the latest "hot topic" in Brexit negotiations, but what's life like for people who live there?

Philip Dumas, 24, was born and raised in Gibraltar and is in the band Frontiers with his brothers Guy and Simon.

They have played alongside Kings of Leon and The Script at the Gibraltar Music Festival.

Philip was born and raised there but says, despite living so close to Spain, he maintains a British identity.

"We've grown up having the best of both worlds - we have the British education system, British passports, the great British pound, well the Gibraltar pound, which is the same value as sterling."

"We're used to Morrisons, fish and chip shops, red telephone boxes and red post boxes.

"But the climate is the best part and the selling point for many people. It's Britain in the sun - we've got beaches, Mediterranean cuisine and Mediterranean culture too."

Philip and his brothers have all travelled to the UK to study at university after studying for their GCSEs and A-levels in Gibraltar.

In the UK they've played gigs in London, Nottingham and Manchester and supported Lawson on tour.

They always return to Gibraltar for the warmer weather and to play the Gibraltar Music Festival.

They've played the main stage for the past three years, sharing the stage with Jess Glynne, James Bay and Little Mix.

Gibraltar shares its northern border with Spain, but has been a part of Britain since 1713. Philip says his family goes back to that time, making him feel "very much British".

He says he worries about what Brexit will mean for the territory and what will happen when plans to leave the EU are finalised.

"Brexit is a concern we've all had since the referendum vote was announced - what does this mean for us? It's all still a bit up in the air.

"We're worried because of our size and because people don't really know us. They don't realise our history and how British we feel and actually are - that might get lost in slightly bigger issues."

Philip is confident that the government of Gibraltar will do everything to protect the territory's rights.

"Fortunately for us we feel our government is doing the best they can to protect our right to self-determination. We've been British for longer than America has been the United States of America."
