See all the action here from the frontline in New York, and other areas, where angry protesters gathered today to protest against Donald Trump becoming President-elect.

7.35pm: A small girl at the New York city rally is proving to be among the biggest voices there, after she made a remarkable speech in a pit at the NYC anti-Trump rally.

The unidentified girl shouts out to those gathered around her, "I'm a female, I am mixed race, I am a child and I cannot vote, but that will not stop me, from getting heard".

Following her speech, the young girl received a massive cheer and round of applause.

7.05pm: It's just after 10pm if you're in California, and just after 1am if you're on the east coast of America, and New York.
