US President-elect Donald Trump has been named Time magazine's Person of the Year for 2016.
The property tycoon was awarded the title following his unexpected victory over Hillary Clinton in November's presidential election.
Mr Trump told NBC's Today show shortly after the announcement it was a "great honour" which "meant a lot" to him.
He was chosen from a shortlist that included Mrs Clinton and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The former leader of the UK Independence Party, Nigel Farage, was also on the list for his role in the successful campaign for Britain to leave the European Union.
Mrs Clinton came second in the selection, Time's managing editor Nancy Gibbs said, adding that the choice of Mr Trump was "straightforward".
Time said the president-elect had redrawn America's political rules.
The magazine invites readers to vote on who they think has earned the title, but the final decision is made by editors.
Others considered included gold-medal winning US gymnast Simone Biles, singer Beyonce Knowles and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg.

TIME trolls Trump by subtly giving him ‘devil horns’ on magazine cover
Of course, the left-leaning publication wouldn’t just give the President-elect recognition for winning the most improbable election in this country’s history without throwing in a shot. Right?
Comedian Jeremy McLellan noticed something peculiar about the cover of TIME.
Donald Trump may have won Person of the Year, but Time wins Magazine of the Year for using the "M" to give him devil horns.
