Tens of thousands of Liberians have witnessed the swearing-in of George Weah as the new president of Liberia, at a packed stadium on the outskirts of Monrovia.
A former international football legend, George Weah replaces Africa's first elected female head of state, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf.
It's Liberia's first transition between democratically-elected leaders since 1944.
Also present are heads of state and several celebrity football players.
