The outgoing US President Donald Trump left the White House, before the arrival of President-elect Joe Biden.
Trump was accompanied during the departure by his wife Melania Trump.
Trump was seen off at the White House by a number of employees.
Trump said in a brief speech to his depositors: "Four wonderful years and we have achieved a lot."
A military helicopter had arrived at the South Park of the White House to transport Trump to Andrews Base, where he would board the plane that would take him to Florida.
