Donald Trump Inauguration: Everything You Need To Know by elmajor(m): 3:35pm On Jan 18, 2017
On January 20, Donald Trump will be sworn in as the 45th President of the United States of America.

No more President-elect, no more PEOTUS (President-elect of the United States). President Trump will officially take office.

The whole shindig is known as the Presidential Inauguration and it has a long history dating right back to the United States' first president, George Washington.

When is everything happening?
Here's what time you can expect everything to happen on Inauguration Day. Some of the exact times have yet to be officially finalised, so treat these as a rough guide.

Friday, 3:00 pm WAT
The President-elect attends a morning worship service.

Friday, 3:30 pm WAT
The Inaugural Swearing-in Ceremony begins. The crowd will be entertained by performers until the President-elect arrives.

At noon (local time), the term of the new administration officially begins. Mr Trump will step up and take the oath of office, administered by the Chief Justice of the United States, John Roberts.

It reads:
