The Mansfield count had its own version of the Oscars' "Envelopegate" - after the returning officer announced the wrong winning candidate.

The Conservatives took Mansfield for the first time, overturning 94 years of Labour rule.

A look at how the parties fared across Wales.

One quirk of the election result is that a lot of constituencies were won with very small majorities.

There are 10 seats with a majority under 100 (there were only three in 2015) and 50 seats with a majority under 1,000.

With Kensington on a third recount those figures look likely to rise to 11 and 51.

Seats with majorities under 100

Fife North East (SNP) 2

Perth & Perthshire North (SNP) 21

Dudley North (LAB) 22

Newcastle-under-Lyme (LAB) 30

Southampton Itchen (CON) 31

Richmond Park (CON) 45

Crewe & Nantwich (LAB) 48

Glasgow South West (SNP) 60

Glasgow East (SNP) 75

Arfon (Plaid Cymru) 92

Would the prime minister's speech have been much different if she'd "got her dream of giant majority", wonders Channel 4 Political Editor Gary Gibbon in a blog post, external.

"Theresa May spoke of serving five years. She emphasised the need for security in dangerous times and recommitted to delivering Brexit. She didn’t engage with one of the central questions floating around the political world today: has the election result changed the complexion of Brexit?"

But Gibbon says some Conservative backbenchers might prefer the opportunity of "pressurising a wounded prime minister" over risking a leadership election.

The general election ended in a hung Parliament, where no party has the 326 seats needed to get an overall majority in the House of Commons.

Throughout the day, BBC Radio 5 live's reporters are hearing your stories around the UK.

Tony runs a flower stall in Birmingham. He’s a lifelong Conservative supporter, and describes himself as a "citizen of a great country".

He says he thinks people voted against people, not for them: "I just think it was more of a protest vote, I don't think they were voting for Corbyn I really don't. I don't think you could look at Corbyn and Abbott and the like, and vote for them."

And he also thinks younger voters have made a difference.

"I think a lot of the young hearts, a lot of the young university, a lot of the under 25s who will have voted for the first time are going to vote for Labour".

Conservative MP for Totnes Sarah Wollaston says Theresa May's special advisers should be sacked for policy announcement mistakes.

"The two turning points for me seemed to be around the announcements about fox hunting but then massively around social care," she said.

"That was a very major turning point I felt in the whole campaign.

"Because Labour did not expect to win they were able to offer everything to everyone."

With just one declaration outstanding, the Conservatives are eight seats short of this majority, with 318 MPs.

The Runnymede Trust, an independent race equality think tank, says black and ethnic minority voters continued to back Labour in this election, and the party may have increased its share of the BME vote.

Based on the results in the top 75 seats, where half the BME population lives, over 65% supported Jeremy Corbyn, it said.

"Our initial analysis of the election results show that Labour have further increased their share of the ethnic minority vote in the most diverse seats, suggesting at least two-thirds of BME voters support Labour," said Runnymede Trust director Dr Omar Khan.

The lineup for tonight's Question Time will be Conservative MP Chris Grayling, Labour's Shami Chakrabarti, and Tony Blair's former adviser Alastair Campbell, along with comedy writer Armando Iannucci and journalist Isabel Oakeshott.

They'll be discussing the election results with the studio audience at 20:30 on BBC One.

The pound is back on a downward trajectory against the dollar as investors scratch their heads over what having a minority government could do for the UK economy.

The pound has been volatile after a huge drop last night as the first exit polls came out.

"The strong Brexit mandate has not been achieved, which you could argue is slightly negative for sterling in some ways, because if we're going to go ahead with Brexit you want to have a strong negotiating hand," said Altana currency fund manager Ian Gunner.

"But the flip side of that is that maybe a hard Brexit is less on the table now and we go to a soft Brexit, which is sterling supportive. So there's a lot of uncertainty, but the downside for sterling in this is not completely obvious."

But the pound's drop has been good for FTSE 100 stocks - many of the companies listed there mainly make their earnings in foreign currency and so benefit when the pound falls.

The FTSE is up about 65 points at 7,515.

Forging an alliance with the DUP could prove to be tricky for the PM, BBC's Mark D'Arcy writes.

A Conservative and DUP pact faces a long, precarious high wire act if they attempt to do so, and they - and any alternative alliance - will be beset by troubles and entanglements at every turn.

As we've mentioned, there's not much love lost between former Chancellor George Osborne and his ex-Cabinet colleague, Theresa May.

And Twitter users were not slow to remark he seemed to be enjoying himself in his role of election pundit, watching the results roll in on ITV's election special last night.
