Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has been sworn in as the new president of Brazil - the third time he has held the country's highest office.
The veteran left-wing politician, known widely as Lula, also led the country between 2003 and 2010 - and defeated Jair Bolsonaro in October's poll.
There has been tight security for the ceremony amid fears that Bolsonaro supporters may try to disrupt it. Bolsonaro has refused to concede the election and claim the election was rigged.
Bolsonaro, who has been called Trump of the tropics, himself did not attend, having left Brazil on Friday. Like Trump, Bolsonaro was in Florida while his successor was inaugurated.
