If you've ever wondered what the lead up to an inauguration is like then take one look at Jake Paul's Instagram feed, as he's posting his movements live to the social media platform.
Many have anticipated the lead up to Donald Trump's presidential inauguration, and now that the event has arrived it has the attention - for better or worse - of large parts of America.
While you can watch the proceedings on TV, the social media age gives us access to areas that we would otherwise not have, and the inclusion of internet stars on the guest list is a perfect platform for a look behind the curtain.
One such social media star is Jake Paul, former Vine and YouTube megastar-turned-boxer who has been one of the most vocal celebrity Trump supporters over the past year.

Last November he revealed in dramatic fashion who he was voting for in the upcoming election, declaring that while releasing the 18-minute long video makes him 'nervous' for his career, he is confident that his decision would help 'save America'.
“I’m not concerned with Donald Trump’s character flaws or what he’s done in the past," Paul revealed, "What I’m concerned with is how good of a president is he? Because that is his job and that is what’s going to affect the people of this nation.”
He has since made several declarations of support for the Trump campaign, including extending a ringside invitation to the president-elect for his box office fight against Mike Tyson that he eventually emerged victorious from.
This has clearly paid off for Paul though, as he's one of the several celebrities to have been invited directly to Trump's presidential inauguration alongside huge names like Elon Musk, Dana White, and Mark Zuckerberg.
He has taken to Instagram in the lead up to the event now, posting multiple photos and stories of the proceedings.
One photo, captioned "Inauguration going great", shows Paul alongside his brother with former UFC champion and controversial figure Conor McGregor behind him on a bus taking them to the event. The post has garnered just under a million likes in just three hours at the time of writing.
Alongside this, Paul has posted stories showing him on the way, including one where he's stood outside a private jet that is likely taking him from his Puerto Rico home to Washington D.C.
Others show both the Washington Monument and the White House from close up, and there's also a video taken from the bus of comedian and podcaster Theo Von, who is likely sat alongside many of the other big names set to attend.
