Trumps victory unsettles the market
The FTSE 100 index fell 2% at the start of trading before paring back some losses to trade 0.7% lower at midday.
Other major European stock markets also fell, with money flowing into safe haven stocks, gold and currencies including the yen.
Traders had expected Hillary Clinton to beat Mr Trump to become the next US president. France's Cac index and Germany's Dax are each down about 1.5% after heavier falls at the start of trading.
Clinton has finally come out to publicly to concede victory and asked all Americans to support the new President and help build a better America. She hopes the President Elect will be a President for the country and wished America a better brighter future. She congratulated all that voted and stood for her saying "They were the best campaign one can ever have". She thanked all that stood for her publicly and sent contributions to the campaign.
Tears flowed

Much of the seating at Clinton's remarks was for staff and aides and the campaign was treating it as a farewell to the people who have spent the better part of two years working on her behalf, an aide said.
Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Kaine also was on hand. The Virginia senator was not with Clinton Tuesday night.
"I'm proud of Hillary, because she loves this country," said Kaine, who had tears in his eyes, as he delivered introductory remarks.
Aides throughout the ballroom were sobbing during Clinton's remarks. Quiet moments in the speech were filled with tears, sniffles and some sobs. Clinton's top aides, seated in the front row, were almost all crying.
Robby Mook, Clinton's campaign manager, was wiping away tears. Nick Merrill, Clinton's traveling press secretary, was weeping.
The most somber moment in Clinton's speech was when she specifically noted her impact to women and girls.
"To all the women and especially the young women who put their faith in this campaign and in me, I want you to know that nothing has made me prouder than to be your champion," Clinton said, her voice breaking with emotion.
There were audible cries -- and some sobs -- throughout the room.
Bill Clinton, while working the ropeline, wiped away tears.
Huma Abedin cried during the speech but kept a stoic face during much of the ropeline.
Clinton worked the ropeline after the event, moving from tearful conversation to tearful conversation.
She first spoke with Anastasia Somoza, the 32-year old woman diagnosed with cerebral palsy and spastic quadriplegia who interned for Clinton's Senate office.
Bending down to hug Somoza, Clinton told her, "You were so wonderful in every way. I love you."
"Thank you for all your work," Clinton told Somoza's mother.
She hugged Joel Bennenson and John Anzalone, two of her pollsters, who acknowledged to other aides last night that they didn't see the Trump wave coming.
She hugged Jim Margolis and Mandy Grunwald, who created many of the campaign's television ads.
Clinton left somewhat unceremoniously, departing through a blue curtain to the left of the room and later to her motorcade.
Clinton admitted the "LOSS" was painful but "fighting for what is right is worth it" despite any form of loss. she also said that all should accept this result and look forward to the future.. She has advised all her supporters not to grow weary and not to lose heart and should cherish peaceful transfer of power.
