President Donald Trump is making his way down Constitution Avenue with a military escort as his inauguration parade begins in Washington.

The president will review the parade from a viewing stand near the White House.

He and first lady Melania Trump are riding in the presidential limousine nicknamed "The Beast."

Trump is being cheered by supporters as his car passes.

Others are shouting "Media sucks" while a group of protesters chants, "Not my president, not my president."

Earlier Mr Trump — in brief remarks at his inaugural lunch at the Capitol — said he was honoured that Hillary Clinton, his rival in the White House race, came to the event.

The bipartisan crowd of lawmakers and other dignitaries gave Clinton a standing ovation after Trump asked her to rise.

Clinton and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, sat with members of Trump's family at the event.

Trump ended by saying he has "a lot of respect for those two people."

Mr Trump was named the 45th President of the United States at midday on Friday. His inauguration was met with protests across Washington DC.

Everyone is now just waiting to see where Mr Trump will get out of the vehicle to start walking - probably a little early still though.

Plenty of cheers down the route, with many people have waited six to eight hours for this moment.

Meanwhile, the protests continue away from the parade. Our correspondent Andrew Buncombe says a couple of vehicles are on fire. The below images shows one of them - a limo.

Back at the parade, the Trumps ate back of the vehicle again to walk the last stretch to the White House

The limo fire has been extinguished, but protesters are still hanging around the scene.

A couple of interesting graphics to digest. First some of the words that President Trump used that had not be heard in an inaugural address before, via The Washington Post.
