LAST night and all through today, voters followed every twist and turn of the election with the Lancashire Telegraph live blog.

Our reporters at every count posted instant news and results, while more than 1000 readers joined in, posting hundreds of online comments and hundreds more Twitter messages.

The blog has now ended, but you can still view the proceedings as they developed - just click 'replay' in the grey box below.
