Joe Biden has delivered a message of unity as he begins his term as the 46th President of the Unites States.
The 78-year-old says it s a day of history and hope and highlighted the challenges ahead such as COVID, racial inequality and the climate crisis.
An Irish concert violinist has said she feels hugely honoured to be playing during a private Mass for US President-elect Joe Biden and his family before his inauguration tomorrow.
There had been concerns that there would not be any live music at the Mass because of the riots at the Capitol earlier this month.
The invitation for Patricia Treacy to play on inauguration day came directly to her from the Biden family last year.
She said: I am going to be playing in the church with the family present.
Over the weekend she practiced in Chicago for what she described as a once in a lifetime opportunity.
