Live updates: Follow the latest on Donald Trump’s inauguration
President Donald Trump's inauguration ceremony and ensuing celebrations gave rise to plenty of memorable moments. Here is a look at some of them:
Melania Trump's hat
While red baseball caps have become synonymous with Mr Trump, first lady Melania Trump made her own millinery-related fashion statement, sporting a navy wide-brimmed hat by American designer Eric Javits.
The headwear drew attention not just for its strikingly low brow but for the fact Mr Trump was unable to reach his wife's cheek when he tried to give her a kiss, forcing him to do a rather Parisian air kiss.
The Bible
Photos of the swearing-in show Mr Trump with his hand at his side, not on top of the Bible. It’s traditional to use a Bible during the presidential oath of office, but it is not required. Only the oath is mandated by the Constitution.
Theodore Roosevelt did not use a Bible when he was sworn in after the assassination of William McKinley in 1901. John Quincy Adams used a law text for his 1825 inauguration.
Still, Mr Trump's decision not to swear on the Bible drew consternation from some of his evangelical supporters.
Elon Musk's salute
Tesla and SpaceX chief Elon Musk drew attention after he gave what some observers said were fascist salutes during an inauguration celebration at a Washington arena. But defenders were quick to claim he was merely expressing heartfelt thanks to supporters of the new US leader.
During his remarks, an excited Mr Musk was thanking the crowd for Mr Trump’s election. On two occasions, he touched his right hand to his chest then flung it out in a quick gesture that was reminiscent of the “Roman” salute, also known as a fascist or Nazi salute.
Several users on X said that Mr Musk had immediately clutched his chest and said “My heart goes out to you”. They suggested his gesture had been misinterpreted.
Barron Trump's height
Mr Trump's youngest son, Barron, drew considerable attention when he appeared for the inauguration ceremony. The 18 year old is 6 foot, 7 inches (two metres) tall, and he towered over the other guests and his dad, who is 6 foot, 3 inches.

Who was Alfred Nobel?
The Nobel Prize was created by wealthy Swedish chemist and entrepreneur Alfred Nobel.
- In his will he dictated that the bulk of his estate should be used to fund "prizes to those who, during the preceding year, have conferred the greatest benefit to humankind".
- Nobel is best known as the inventor of dynamite, but also wrote poetry and drama and could speak Russian, French, English and German by the age of 17. The five original prize categories reflect the interests closest to his heart.
- Nobel died in 1896 but it took until 1901, following a legal battle over his will, before the first prizes were awarded.
Day 5, Abu Dhabi Test: At a glance
Moment of the day When Dilruwan Perera dismissed Yasir Shah to end Pakistan’s limp resistance, the Sri Lankans charged around the field with the fevered delirium of a side not used to winning. Trouble was, they had not. The delivery was deemed a no ball. Sri Lanka had a nervy wait, but it was merely a stay of execution for the beleaguered hosts.
Stat of the day – 5 Pakistan have lost all 10 wickets on the fifth day of a Test five times since the start of 2016. It is an alarming departure for a side who had apparently erased regular collapses from their resume. “The only thing I can say, it’s not a mitigating excuse at all, but that’s a young batting line up, obviously trying to find their way,” said Mickey Arthur, Pakistan’s coach.
The verdict Test matches in the UAE are known for speeding up on the last two days, but this was extreme. The first two innings of this Test took 11 sessions to complete. The remaining two were done in less than four. The nature of Pakistan’s capitulation at the end showed just how difficult the transition is going to be in the post Misbah-ul-Haq era.
