That is so funny and so lovely Across

One nation under God indivisible.

Thanks the those for the presence of both parties.

@RedToothBrush

They were so desparate to get it done they are ahead of schedule!

I think they could feel all America - not to mention the rest of us in the world - urging them on

Nice nod to all (nearly) previous Presidents including Carter

Thank you so much, thread friends. It's been emotional...

And raising a to GingerIvy, who didn't get to see this.

I don’t wish Joe Biden ill, but it is an awesome thought that the USA is only a heartbeat away from a black, female president.

How do you like them apples Mr Trump.

No mention of the Chinese virus!

I feel so emotional watching this. We were happily living in America until we fell foul of Trump's nonsensical immigration policy. Our whole life was upturned in two weeks and we will never recover financially. I am so pleased to see the back of Trump for personal reasons but also pleased for America and hope that healing can begin.

Reference to the emancipation treaty and Lincoln saying his whole soul was in it.

(It's a good job those of us watching on BBC News, evidently several minutes behind you lot on CNN or whatever, don't mind the spoilers you keep giving!)

Specifically mentioned white supremacy. Really really hope this is the turning point for the western world.

Cried at Gaga...so moving!

The whole soul is in it. I love that.

Biden's voice is captivating.

Decision is no more. Such a powerful sentence.

I know! 😂

It’s live on Sky News ...

Isn't that the very first big move by the new team - a comprehensive legal package that provides a route to citizenship ?

This is a good speech. A speech for the moment. Its not a great timeless speech. But it definitely has its moments.

I'm watching on itv. Only because my tv was already on that channel when I got in from work and switched it on!

This is how a leader should speak.

I make it midday now 🍾

He speaks with such sincerity.

Its noon.

How refreshing it is to hear a President who can speak in sentences.

Only wish we had a PM who could as well.
