2017 will bring a new US President, and an end to eight years of the Obama Administration. To mark President Obama's time in office, I'm looking back at the achievements and behind the scenes moments of his Administration through the fantastic photos taken by Pete Souza and his team of professionals.
To kick things off, I'm looking back at some of my favourite photos from President Obama's first 100 days.
