The President-elect sat between his wife Melania and Barack Obama, who he chatted to animatedly as the congregation awaited the arrival of Mr Carter's coffin.

Mr Obama's wife Michelle was absent, while George W Bush and wife Laura and Bill and Hillary Clinton completed the row at the Washington National Cathedral.
