Who is going to be there?

President Obama and the first lady will accompany Mr Trump in a motorcade to the US

Capitol for the official ceremony, where they will be joined by members of Congress,

politicians as well as supporters.

Former President Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton, who lost to Mr Trump in November's

election, are expected to attend.

George W Bush and his wife, Laura, as well as Jimmy Carter have also confirmed they will

attend the ceremony.

George HW Bush, who was in hospital for respiratory problems, wrote a letter to Mr

Trump wishing him well and apologising for missing the event due to health concerns.

An estimated 800,000 to 900,000 people are expected to flood the nation's capital on Friday

for the inauguration, but it is unclear whether they will be there in celebration or protest,

officials said.

President Barack Obama drew an estimated 1.8 million people to Washington when he took

office eight years ago.

The "level of enthusiasm" and demand for hotel rooms has not reached that of previous

inaugurations, according to Elliott Ferguson, president of Destination DC, the city's

convention and tourism bureau.

In fact, some hotels have reduced the minimum-night stay from four nights to two.

Other hotels are only 50% full, but higher-end hotels appeared to have more bookings, he

added.

Who is not going?

More than 50 House Democrats are publicly refusing to attend the ceremony amid a feud

between the newly elected president and the civil rights activist and congressman, John

Lewis.

Mr Lewis is among the congressmen who will not be in attendance. Some lawmakers have

said they will instead attend the Women's March on Washington, a protest set to take place

a day after the inauguration.

What are the protests about?

Several demonstrations both protesting and supporting Mr Trump will take place around

the city over the weekend.

Most notably, the Women's March on Washington is estimated to draw crowds of 200,000

people on 21 January.

It sets out to demonstrate for racial and gender equality, affordable healthcare, abortion

rights and voting rights - issues perceived to be under threat from a Trump presidency.

The motorcycle group Bikers for Trump will also host a rally for the incoming president

after the ceremony and before the inauguration parade.

Other protests include:

Anti-war and anti-nuclear weapons rally attended by former Green Party

presidential candidate Jill Stein

#DisruptJ20 Festival of Resistance, organised by the DC Counter-Inaugural

Welcoming Committee

#Trump420 march, hosted by marijuana advocates who plan to hand out 4,200 free

joints (which is legal in Washington)

How is Mr Trump celebrating?

Mr Trump has enlisted the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, Radio City Rockettes, country stars

Toby Keith and Lee Greenwood, 3 Doors Down as well as America's Got Talent contestant

and singer Jackie Evancho to perform over the course of two days.

Academy Award-winning actor Jon Voight also spoke at the welcome concert, telling the

crowd: "God answered all our prayers" by electing Mr Trump.

Ms Evancho, who took second place on the talent show, will sing the national anthem.

The Trump transition team has reportedly struggled to secure high-profile entertainers.

A number of artists turned down the opportunity to play, including Elton John, Welsh

singer Charlotte Church and American DJ Moby.

Dreamgirls star Jennifer Holliday announced she had dropped an inauguration performance

to stand in solidarity with the LGBT community while a Bruce Springsteen tribute band

also decided to skip the event out of respect for the Boss, who is vocally critical of Mr

Trump.

The newly sworn-in president and vice-president will also stop by three official inaugural

balls, which are typically attended by the incoming administration's supporters.
