Donald Trump will be sworn in for his second term as US president just before 12:00 EST (17:00 GMT) in Washington DC on Monday.

The ceremony, traditionally held outside the US Capitol, has been moved indoors due to a forecast of frigid temperatures as low as -11C.

Following the oath of office, Trump will address the nation before he is expected to parade across town to the White House and attend three inaugural balls in the evening.

About 200,000 supporters are expected to visit the city to mark the presidential transfer of power.

In his final rally yesterday, Trump promised to sign a blitz of executive orders on his first day as president - read more about the 200 executive actions expected here.
