Ken Livingstone loses London Mayor race

Labour's Ken Livingstone has lost the London mayoral election to close rival, Conservative Boris Johnson.

Earlier on Friday it had seemed Mr Johnson would win easily, but the gap between him and Mr Livingstone shrank as the count continued.

In his concession speech, Mr Livingstone said that this was loss he "most regretted" and that it would be his "last election".
