The inauguration of Donald Trump as America's 45th president is the highlight of several days of pomp and circumstance in the US capital. Here's a look at the timeline of events.

Thursday, January 19

10:35 am - Performances begin at Lincoln Memorial. "Voices of the People," the first act of a day-long public concert, will feature groups such as the DC Fire Department Emerald Society Pipes and Drums, the Republican Hindu Coalition, high school marching bands, choirs and baton twirlers.

3:30 pm to 4 pm - Trump and Vice President-elect Mike Pence participate in a wreath-laying ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery in honor of the nation's veterans.

4 pm to 6 pm - Trump will deliver remarks during the second act of the concert at Lincoln Memorial, dubbed the "Make America Great Again! Welcome Celebration." The event, broadcast live nationally, will be headlined by country stars Toby Keith and Lee Greenwood and feature a fireworks finale. Trump is expected to spend Thursday night at Blair House, the presidential guest residence across the street from the White House.

Friday, January 20

Morning - Trump, Pence and their families are expected to attend services at St. John's Episcopal Church, just steps from the White House.

Afterward, President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama welcome Trump and his wife Melania to the White House for morning tea. The two couples will then travel together to the Capitol by motorcade.

9:30 am - Inauguration ceremony begins on the west front of the Capitol with musical performances.

Attendees will include members of Congress, Supreme Court justices, diplomats and the public. Former presidents Jimmy Carter, George W. Bush and Bill Clinton will attend, as will Trump's election opponent Hillary Clinton. Former president George H.W. Bush is in frail health and will not be present.

Sixteen-year-old soprano Jackie Evancho will sing the national anthem. The Rockettes dance troupe will also be performing, at a time yet to be announced.

11:30 am - Opening remarks. Religious leaders will offer the invocation and readings. Pence will be sworn in by Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.

Noon - Trump will recite the oath of office, administered by US Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts. He will use president Abraham Lincoln's inauguration Bible, as well as the Bible that Trump's mother gave to him at his Sunday school graduation in 1955. Afterward, Trump will deliver his inaugural address.

12:30 Ceremony ends.

Afterward, in keeping with tradition, Trump and Pence will attend the Congressional Lunch in the Capitol.

3 pm to 5 pm - Inaugural parade. The newly minted president and vice-president make their way 1.5 miles (2.4 kilometers) along Pennsylvania Avenue from the Capitol to the White House, trailed by some 8,000 parade participants. They will include members of all US military branches, as well as high school and university marching bands, equestrian corps, first responders, veteran groups and even a tractor brigade.

7 pm to 11 pm - Trump, Pence and their wives will make appearances at three official inaugural balls, two of which will be held at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center and the other at the National Building Museum. A number of semi-official and unofficial balls also will take place throughout the city.

Varney started losing his cool when they showed the protesters. “THIS IS THE LEFT! Why must we tolerate this kind of violence?”

[pghoilman]

Brings to mind that pic of Cheney and his black hat giving Obama the evil eye some years ago...

Watching via CSPAN and RSBN — no commentaries.

You can tell the Dems entering from the Pubbies — for the most part Dems are not smiling, Pubbies are.

Or Mr Stu as the Chicago lady calls him.

It would be wonderful if this could happen:

This morning, I’d like to follow the example of one of our founding fathers, George Washington. First, President Washington gave a very short Inaugural Address and second, he made his first act as president a prayer. So please join me and bow your heads:

Lord, I ask for your guidance, as I work to serve the people of this great nation. Give us wisdom and understanding in the coming days. Help us all to recognize Your light in each of us, to see the dignity in every soul, and to unleash the potential for greatness that lies in every American. Help us to remember the forgotten men and women of this nation, and to bring all of our people together as we work to build a brighter future. With You by our side, no dream is too big, no challenge is too great. Amen.

I thought I heard that the VP gets to pick which Justice swears him in.

Ryan and his wife look like their faces are cracking trying to hold those grimacing “smiles”.

Are you female?

Rain doesn’t have to touch your had to mess up your hairdo. I can look perfect leaving the house but if rain is in the hair it falls pretty quick

I wondered if they would make it.

Speaking of Melania, love the gloves with that outfit! Very elegant!

OMG..nothing I am trying to type is coming out right. Must be too much excitement

[thoughtomator]

Can’t believe how low class Michelle Obama is being here - she didn’t even bother to brush her hair.

[Boardwalk]

Getting closer!

Keith Schilling sighting!!

Politics aside, it’s good to see the Carters walking in— without assistance—after all these years. The service members snapping-to as they walk by.
