Donald Trump will be sworn in as US president on 20 January in Washington DC, his second run at the biggest job in politics. A national holiday thanks to the fact it coincides with Martin Luther King Jr Day, spectators can expect a day full of pomp, pageantry and entertainment.
Back at his first inauguration in 2017, Mr Trump appeared to struggle to rustle up celebrity attendees - so who might we see turn up second time around?. Political figures and world leaders. Outgoing president Joe Biden, 82, will attend his successor's inauguration. It was a pleasantry not performed by Mr Trump during Mr Biden's inauguration in 2020, which Mr Trump - who claimed the election had been stolen from him - chose to skip.
It's also traditional for all living former presidents to attend the inauguration, so Barack Obama, George W Bush and Bill Clinton are all likely to attend. Mr Trump has also invited world leaders this year for the first time. Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has confirmed his attendance, and we'd also expect to see Elon Musk, Mr Trump's new efficiency tsar.
Mr Farage will certainly be hoping Mr Musk rocks up, as he's said he hopes to "mend any broken fences" with the tech billionaire after a recent social media spat between the two. Official acts. Musical performances are usually a staple of the event, with a marching band, and a string of celebrity performances.
