Pics: The moment Mitt Romney conceded the election to Barack Obama

It’s fair to say that President Obama was more than happy to take this call on the night of 6 November…

A NEW PHOTO released by the White House today has captured the moment that US President Barack Obama took a call which confirmed that he had won re-election last month.

The call was from his Republican challenger Mitt Romney who wanted to concede the election to the 44th president of the United States following a gruelling months-long battle.

The photo is among a batch, mostly taken by the President’s official photographer Pete Souza, that were uploaded to the White House Flickr account this week a month on from Obama’s historic re-election.

Included is this one of Obama signing the Wall of Freedom after an event at Mentor High School in Mentor, Ohio on 3 November:
