It has been a victorious week for Barack Obama, and arguably the best one of his presidency.
His spectacular seven days have included triumphs in healthcare reform, a trade deal and the legalization of gay marriage across the United States.
But it all seemed to come together on Friday, when he paused during a stirring eulogy to a victim of the Charleston massacre, and sung the opening lines to Amazing Graze - prompting the entire congregation to join in.
The speech which stunned the crowd touched upon gun violence, voter suppression and the fate of the Confederate flag.
It comes as he enters his final year-and-a-half in office - with some arguing it is the start of a victory lap.
