 The passionately pro-EU politician Emmanuel Macron was elected as France's youngest ever president after a landslide of over 65.5 per cent.

Macron, 39, beat  National Front (FN) candidate Marine Le Pen, 48, in an election that will have widespread repercussions for the future of Europe.

 Just 15 minutes after the exit polls were announced, Le Pen revealed she phoned Macron to 'congratulate' him on his election victory.

She had hoped that the surprise election of populist firebrand Donald Trump in America, and the Brexit result in the UK, would favour her hardline opposition to the EU, globalisation and immigration.

But instead it was Macron who was preparing for a victory celebration in front of crowds of supporters outside the Louvre in central Paris.
