President Barack Obama was on Sunday sworn in as second term president of the United States

He was  sworn in at a very brief ceremony in the Blue Room of the White House, taking the oath from Chief Justice John Roberts.

He will be sworn in again at a  public ceremony at the Capitol in Washington on Monday.

Joe Biden, the vice-president, was sworn in before his boss at an early morning ceremony at his official residence, before the two laid a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknowns at Arlington National Ceremony.

Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor – picked by Mr Obama to be the first Hispanic judge to sit on the High Court in his first term – made her own slice of history by leading Biden as he took the oath.
