The Labour Party has won a dramatic victory in the local elections in Lambeth.
Labour has won 44 seats out of 63, a huge increase on last time.
In Prince's ward, Labour councillors Lorna Campbell, Mark Harrison and Steve Morgan won more than 2600 votes each, 1500 ahead of their nearest rivals.
And in neighbouring Oval ward Labour candidates Jane Edbrooke and Jack Hopkins caused a major upset by defeating the Lib Dems, who had held the ward since 1994. The Oval result came at 2:30am after a recount.
The Lib Dems only just held on in Bishops ward, and failed to gain seats in Vassall ward. Labour kept out the Tories in Clapham Town ward.
You can see all the results on Lambeth Council's website
Lorna, Mark and Steve would like to say a huge thank you to everybody who voted in Prince's ward.
The Council elections came a day after the general election results, in which Kate Hoey increased her majority in the Vauxhall constituency.
