Obama Takes The Oath

So help me God : Obama becomes the first African-American to take the office of president of the United States

Obama took the oath of office with his hand on a bible first used by Abraham Lincoln, the US president credited with bringing an end to what he called "the monstrous injustice of slavery

Crowds estimated at more than a million packed into Washington DC's mall to watch the inauguration ceremony

Turning the page: Obama told Americans "we must pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and begin again the work of remaking America"

Handing over: George Bush, leaving office as one of the least popular presidents in US history, congratulates his successor

Challenges ahead: Obama waves to the crowd as the Iranian flag passes by during the inaugural parade

Heading home to Texas: Barack Obama, the 44th US president, sees off number 43, George Bush, and his wife

Tight security was put in place for an inauguration ceremony that cost an estimated $170m

Making history: Barack Obama and his wife Michelle leave their heavily armoured limousine to walk the final few steps to the White House
