The front pages of the papers were dominated by Joe Biden's victory over Donald Trump as he elected as the next president of the United States.
The Sunday Telegraph and Sunday Mirror both lead with President-elect Biden’s comments that “it’s time for America to heal”.
That message was echoed by the Sunday Express.
The Observer leads with Mr Biden’s pledge to “be a president for all Americans”.
The Sunday Times carries the headline “Sleepy Joe wakes up America”, referring to President Trump’s frequent nickname for the former vice president.
Mr Biden’s election win is “A new dawn for America”, according to The Independent.

The Daily Star on Sunday takes a typically unique view of the result.
Meanwhile The Mail on Sunday reports Prime Minister Boris Johnson sent security experts to examine the personal mobile phones of Cabinet Ministers as part of a “major” leak inquiry.
Media outlets across the world also shared the US election latest on their front page.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
