Labour supporters took to the streets, and their cars for loud celebrations across Malta after their party won a third consecutive general election.

The streets of Ħamrun and Naxxar were among those invaded by elated PL supporters waving flags, sounding horns and setting off flares.

As is tradition, cars were decorated as part of traditional carcades with one including a large coffin representing the rival Nationalist Party, with the epitaph, 'RIP PN' scrawled on it.
