Thousands of Qataris have been pledging allegiance to their new head of state, Emir Sheikh Tamim.
It follows the abdication of his father Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani, ending his 18-year rule.
Announcing the rare move in a seven-minute speech broadcast on state television, Sheikh Hamad said: "The time has come to turn a new page in the journey of our nation and have a new generation carry out responsibilities."
But he made no mention of Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim, the veteran prime minister and foreign minister who is the public face of Qatar's assertive foreign policy and who had been expected to step down as well.
