The 2013 Miss World pageant has been won by Miss Philippines, Megan
Young, on the Indonesian island of Bali.
US-born Ms Young, 23, beat 126 other contestants and pledged to be
"the best Miss World ever".
The competition was moved to Bali from the capital, Jakarta, because
of protests from hardline Muslim groups.
Security for Saturday's event was high in Bali, a resort island with a
majority Hindu population, but no further demonstrations were
reported.
Miss France, Marine Lorphelin, came second in the contest and Miss
Ghana, Carranzar Naa Okailey Shooter, took third place.
Wearing a glittering gown, Ms Young, who moved to the Philippines at
the age of 10, wept as the Miss World sash was put over her shoulder
by 2012 winner Miss China.
She told the cheering crowd in Nusa Dua in southern Bali she would "be
myself in everything I do, to share what I know and to educate
people".
