Barack Obama has given an emotional final speech as US President. Read the address in full below.

It's good to be home. My fellow Americans, Michelle and I have been so touched by all the well-wishes we've received over the past few weeks.

But tonight it's my turn to say thanks.

Whether we've seen eye-to-eye or rarely agreed at all, my conversations with you, the American people — in living rooms and schools; at farms and on factory floors; at diners and on distant outposts — are what have kept me honest, kept me inspired, and kept me going.

Every day, I learned from you. You made me a better President, and you made me a better man.
