Trump's second inauguration day will begin with a service at St John's Church, Lafayette Square, a historic Washington DC church, followed by tea at the White House. Musical performances and opening remarks are set to begin at 09:30 EST (14:30 GMT).

It is unclear if Mr. Trump, who has previously said he will spare the social media platform, will or can stop the ban.

For more than 100 years, the US did not inaugurate its president until March - a four month wait for the official handing over of power. That changed in 1933 during the Great Depression economic crisis, when Inauguration Day moved from 4 March 4 to 20 January - with the ratification of the 20th amendment to the US Constitution.

President-elect Donald Trump announced Friday that he will move the inauguration ceremony indoors as Washington, DC prepares for record low temperatures. The ceremony will now take place inside the Capitol rotunda.
