Hillary joins Obama on stage as democrats show unity

Unity, New Hampshire: Hillary Clinton has joined Barack Obama on stage for the first time since pulling out of the US democratic presidential election race.

Speaking on stage at the rally in the appropriately named town of Unity, Clinton urged voters to back Obama.

She said: "He will work for you, he will fight for you and he will stand up for you every day in the White House."

After she had finished speaking the crowd broke into chants of ‘Thank You Hillary', with Obama joining in.

The rally was a chance to show unity amongst the democrats after a long and often bitter campaign to become the presidential nominee.
