London has welcomed it's new Mayor. The Labour Party's Sadiq Khan becomes the first Muslim to hold the post after a bitter campaign during which his main rival, Conservative Zac Goldsmit claimed Mr Khan had links to extremists.
In the end voters chose the son of a Pakistan-born bus driver over the privately-educated heir to a fortune.
During the campaign, Mr Khan admitted before becoming an MP he did share platforms with people whose views he had sometimes opposed, through his work as a human rights lawyer, but that he was a well known anti-extremist.
In his victory speech, he pledged to represent everyone in the capital.
