President-elect Donald Trump is Time magazine person of the year for 2016.

Trump edged out presidential rival Hillary Clinton, who finished in second place on the list.

Time magazine described Trump as President of the "Divided States of America".

Former Ukip leader Nigel Farage, who successfully argued for Britain's departure from the EU, had also been shortlisted.

Farage has enjoyed a momentous year as one of the driving forces behind the UK's vote for Brexit before becoming a prominent supporter of Donald Trump on his journey to the White House.

Trump himself was on the list, as well as Russian President Vladimir Putin and singer Beyonce.

Controversial former winners have included Adolf Hitler in 1938 and Joseph Stalin the following year.

Other former person of the year holders include Winston Churchill, Queen Elizabeth II and Mark Zuckerberg - who was up again on the shortlist this year.
