Donald Trump won the presidency after a sensational victory that sent shockwaves across the globe.

Trump accepted his win with uncharacteristic humility hours after Election Day polls had written him off, telling Americans: 'I promise you that I will not let you down'

Hillary Clinton made a private call to Trump to concede, but she didn't face her supporters at campaign HQ.

She had just 218 of 270 electoral votes needed to win when Trump took Pennsylvania to secure the crucial 274.
