President-elect Donald Trump has arrived in Washington to kick off his inauguration festivities.

Trump arrived in a military plane, without media on board, just after noon Thursday at Maryland's Joint Base Andrews. He was joined by his wife, Melania, and other members of his family.

On Twitter earlier Thursday morning, Trump said "the journey begins".

"I will be working and fighting very hard to make it a great journey for the American people," he said.

Trump has a busy day of inauguration-related activities planned.

He will be attending a leadership luncheon with transition officials and incoming staff at his Washington hotel, attending a wreath-laying ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery and making an appearance at a concert at the Lincoln Memorial.
