The centrist Emmanuel Macron and "far-right" leader Marine Le Pen have won the first round of voting in French presidential elections, projected results say.
The two saw off a strong challenge from centre-right François Fillon the hard-left Jean-Luc Mélenchon, according to the projections.
The pair now face a run-off vote on 7 May.
