Marking the end of a tumultuous four years, President Donald Trump departed the White House aboard Marine One on Wednesday morning.
He will receive a military send-off at Maryland's Joint Base Andrews and deliver his final remarks as president.
As he exited the White House, he told reporters that serving as president was “the honour of a lifetime".
“The greatest people in the world, the greatest home in the world," Mr Trump said. “We accomplished a lot.”
Mr Trump will leave Maryland aboard Air Force One to fly to his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach. Mr Trump will technically still be President when he lands in Florida as Joe Biden is to be sworn-in at 12 pm EST.
Mr Trump’s early morning departure breaks from tradition as it is customary for outgoing presidents to welcome their successors to the White House on inauguration day.

How do Sim card scams work?
Sim swap frauds are a form of identity theft.
They involve criminals conning mobile phone operators into issuing them with replacement Sim cards by claiming to be the victim, often pretending their phone has been lost or stolen in order to secure a new Sim.
They use the victim's personal details - obtained through criminal methods - to convince such companies of their identity.
The criminal can then access any online service that requires security codes to be sent to a user's mobile phone, such as banking services.
