Watch: Crowds celebrate in Brazil as Lula is sworn in as president
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.
In his first speech, Lula vowed to rebuild a country in "terrible ruins".
He decried the policies of his predecessor, who went to the US on Friday to avoid the handover ceremony.
A sea of Lula supporters gathered in front of Congress since early in the morning - decked out in the red colour of his Workers' Party. They travelled to see their leader sworn in - but also for a celebration.
