Joe Biden has been sworn in as the 46th US president, ending one of the most dramatic political transitions in American history.
"Democracy has prevailed," he said after taking the oath of office from Chief Justice John Roberts.
Outgoing President Donald Trump, who has not formally conceded to Mr Biden, is not attending the ceremony.
The new president has announced a raft of executive orders aimed at reversing Mr Trump's key policies.
