And that's it. The end of another BDO World Championships. The second of our festive festivals of tungsten is over.

It was Gary Anderson last week and now the congratulations go to Scott Waites.

If Christmas means darts, roll on December. Goodbye.

Emma James: Scotty to Hotty is the world champion. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

"The operation on the rotator cuff is very hard. You throw a dart and it hits the skirting board. Scott is playing a lot better than he was. You can't do better than being world champion."

More from Scott Waites: "Sometimes you walk on that stage and not everything feels right. Everything felt right tonight. 

"I thought I wasn't scoring high enough to beat Jeff Smith, but he wasn't scoring high enough to beat me. 

"I just thought 'hit something', and I did. I thought 'just hit this no matter what'."

Ant: Well done Scott Waites. Put on an absolute darts clinic, brilliant.

"Jeff Smith has played some entertaining darts, even if the final was disappointing - Scott Waites wouldn't have cared."

"When you don't have a lot of chances at a double, you've got to take them. When you try too hard, like Jeff, it doesn't happen."

2016 BDO world champion Scott Waites on BBC Sport: "It seemed a million miles away when I had shoulder surgery. I had six weeks without throwing a dart. That's painful in itself. Now I'm taking the world title back home!

"I'm speechless at the minute. I put my heart and soul into trying to win this. Today, I took my chances before Jeff took his. That was the difference.

"I'll never give in, but when I'm in front I'll pile those 140s in. Jeff has to catch me and he couldn't hit the doubles before me."

Waites is still on stage as Smith heads to the back. The Canadian takes the commiserations, while Waites is posing for pictures. There's no sign of the Lakeside emptying just yet.

"Scott Waites played well all week, the two comebacks, and that high checkout really hurt Jeff Smith."

"Fighting back would have been a tough ask for Jeff. Scott may say that he doesn't worry about money, he does - he's a Yorkshireman."

Neel: Well done Scott Waites!! How gracious was Jeff Smith in defeat though!!

Here comes the trophy. Waites gets his hands on the silver and a cheque for £100,000.

We Are The Champions plays inside the Lakeside as Waites parades his prize.

Once again, Scott Waites is the champion of the world.

We're told that Scott Waites' dad is wearing his lucky shirt, the one he wore when Waites won the 2010 Grand Slam. He might never take it off now.

Runner-up Jeff Smith: "I found myself trying to make something out of nothing, but the crowd were fantastic. I really appreciate them. 

"We must congratulate the champion, Scott was incredible - he dug in and made it to the end."

"I've just tried to adapt to each match. Last year I had a tough run in the semi-finals, and now I've had a tough final this year. But I guarantee I'll be back next year."

More from Scott Waites: "I don't know what will happen tonight, let alone tomorrow.

"I play darts for darts, not the brass. It means more to be world champion, sack the money off.

"Onwards and upwards now. It might cost me £8 to get my name on the trophy again. Next year, I'll have to come back and have another go."

2016 BDO world champion Scott Waites: "Absolutely brilliant. The crowd has been fantastic.

"Jeff has been a great sportsman and it was a great game.

"I'm flabbergasted. I can't believe it. It's not sunk in." 

The Lakeside crowd is on its feet. The players embrace, then Waites takes the applause. We're about to hear from the players...

Won with double 16! Scott Waites is the 2016 world champion! A two-time Lakeside winner! He has demolished Jeff Smith in the final. Scotty was just too hot. The Silencer had no answer.

Is this the moment for Scott Waites? Smith's scoring has gone and Waites has pounded a magic maximum. Smith shakes his head, he knows the game might be up. Brilliant from Waites. Six from 41 for the title...

Waites with the darts, but Smith just in front after nine. The former champ down to the business end first, but timely 180 from Smith pressures the throw. Waites, though, what is this? 156? T20... T20... D18! He's one leg from the title! Even Jeff Smith applauds. Great stuff. 

Waites is two legs from the match. A break here would have him within licking distance of the trophy. Smith, though, clings on to the applause of the Lakeside, which is sort of like a big working men's club. If you're from the north, you'll know what I'm talking about. D9 for Smith, he holds throw to huge noise.
