It was an inauguration like no other - no crowds, no outgoing president at the ceremony, and a surprise flurry of snow. Here are the 11 other things you might have missed as Joe Biden was sworn in as the 46th US president

The very few guests invited to the COVID-compliant spectator area - mainly international ambassadors and attaches - cowered and held their programmes over their heads as flakes started to fall, moments before the oath swearing began.The armed limousine taking the Bidens to the parade had the number plate 46 - a nod to the fact that he has now become the 46th president of the United States. The number plate on Ms Harris' car was 49, as she has just become America's 49th vice president.

Poignant moment: While Joe Biden gave his inauguration speech, a lone man in a uniform knelt at the Delaware grave of his son Beau.
