Macron was grateful and generous in his victory speech:"Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all those who voted for me," begins Mr Macron in his victory speech. I salute my adversary Ms Le Pen, I know why people chose to vote for an extreme party. I know the doubt, the fear they expressed. And it is my responsibility to take on those concerns and guarantee our unity and responsibility for our country. From tomorrow we will modernise politics, recognise pluralism, revitalise democracy. This will be my first mission, respecting everyone."
Macron wins French presidential elections
After an extraordinary election campaign full of twists and turns, Emmanuel Macron won a dramatic victory over Marine Le Pen in the French presidential election, taking 65% of the vote, with Le Pen collecting just over a third according to estimates from four separate French pollsters. Macron, 39, will become the youngest president of France's Fifth Republic.
