President’s inauguration: Trump, wife arrive at Washington DC church

US President-elect,, Donald Trump and his wife, Melania, have arrived at St John’s Church as part of event to mark the inauguration day.

 Meanwhile., Trump supporters are already starting to take their seats inside the Capital One Arena – a full eight hours before Donald Trump is due to speak here after his formal swearing in at the Capitol, about a mile southeast of here.

The few hundred taking their seats are all wrapped up warm against the frigid Washington temperatures that have swept across the region in the last couple of days, and wearing their red Maga hats.

At the concession stands, two coffees came to $13 (£10.57) and a Diet Coke and a water came to $17 (£14) – it’s going to be an expensive day out for the 20,000 who’ll make it inside.

The music playlists – so familiar to us who have followed Trump around the country for months – are already being piped through the speakers – Diana Ross is the current tune entertaining us.
