Bristol Mayoral election results: Labour's Marvin Rees wins
Voters in Bristol have once again chosen Marvin Rees to serve as the city's mayor - and he says it will be his final term in office.

Now, in the third-ever mayoral elections in the city, he has once again been chosen to serve the city as mayor. Scroll down for the results in full.
Tonight's count also made history as it became the first mayoral race in the UK with a Green candidate making it to second place.
Sandy Hore-Ruthven beat both the Conservative and the Liberal Democrat candidates to the final stage of the race when he came second in the first choice votes.
The returning mayor says: "It's always a very humbling thing and almost an otherworldly thing to meet someone that says the voted for you.
"Getting elected first time is one thing, getting re-elected is something of a whole different order.
"The way we've tried to lead the city we've tried to be inclusive, we've focused on delivering social justice on the face of climate and ecological emergencies and we'll continue in that vein."
