Donald John Trump, a billionaire with no experience of government or the military, will be sworn in as America's 45th President and commander-in-chief later today.
The businessman, who became well known to millions of Americans as the star of his reality TV series The Apprentice, steps up to his new job at the age of 70 - breaking Ronald Reagan's record as the oldest man to assume the Presidency.
On Thursday, the trappings of high office were already evident.
He dispensed with his familiar personal jet and its Trump branding, and he arrived in Washington DC aboard a US military plane.
Mr Trump and Vice President-elect Mike Pence later laid a wreath at Arlington Cemetery, accompanied by members of his family including the soon-to-be First Lady Melania Trump.
