Details of how to watch the swearing-in of Joe Biden as the 46th President of the United States on Wednesday.

Later today Joe Biden will be sworn in as the 46th President of the United States following his landslide victory in the election in November.

The official ceremony will take place in Washington DC at around 12pm ET - 5pm in the UK - with living former Presidents Bill Clinton, George W Bush and Barack Obama in attendance.
