Sadiq Khan booed and heckled during victory speech
Sadiq Khan was booed as he kicked off his victory speech after winning a third term as Mayor of London.
The Labour politician faced heckles as he began to deliver his address at City Hall after the results were declared.
Britain First candidate Nick Scanlon shouted "Khan killed London" before walking off the stage.
Speaking at City Hall, Mr Khan said: "Thank you from the bottom of my heart, thank you London."
At that point, the Labour politician was interrupted by the booes and heckles.
The crowd was warned that security would remove people who disrupted the speeches.
Incumbent mayor Mr Khan beat his nearest rival, Tory candidate Susan Hall, in a contest beset by criticism of his decision to expand London's ultra low emission zone (ULEZ).
He secured 1,088,225 votes, with Ms Hall coming second with 812,397.
In his speech, Mr Khan said: "We faced a campaign of non-stop negativity, but I couldn't be more proud that we answered the fearmongering with facts, hate with hope, and attempts to divide with efforts to unite.
"We ran a campaign that was in keeping with the spirit and values of this great city, a city that regards our diversity not as a weakness, but as an almighty strength - and one that rejects right hard-wing populism and looks forward, not back.
"It's truly an honour to be re-elected for a third term, and do so with a record level of support from Londoners, with an increased margin of victory."
Mr Khan fought a re-election campaign on promises to end rough sleeping in the capital by 2030, and to take further steps to curtail air pollution and climate change.
Runner-up Ms Hall's key pledge was to scrap the ULEZ expansion which came into force last year.
