As the United States of America – and the rest of the world – prepares for the inauguration of Donald Trump, Hollywood heavy-hitters and members of the public have taken the time to share the moments which stuck with them during Barack Obama's eight years in the Oval Office.

From recalling changes to foreign policy to paying tribute to his composure during particularly heartwrenching moments in American history, those involved in making Yes We Can: People Share Their Most Memorable Moments from the Obama Presidency didn't hold back when communicating the effect President Obama's two terms in office had on them, both as individuals and members of the wider world.

The video, which has amassed more than 2,000,000 views since its upload in recent days, has been inundated with comments from YouTubers praising the production and sentiment of the video.

"Obama is the most likeable person ever, no one could ever find anything against him. He is able to feel his people's pain and struggles , that's what makes him unique and irreplaceable," wrote one.

"USA will never get another president like president Obama. He is the best we got in this modern time," added another. "The Nobel peace committee that gave him that prize very early in his presidency saw the uniqueness in him."

And yes, we did well up at certain points.
