The former president was criticised on social media for his face mask blunder.

One twitter user wrote: "In keeping with tradition, Bill Clinton wearing a pair of panties as a mask."

And another user said: "Will someone please tell Bill Clinton to put his mask above his nose?"

One wrote: "There's a small amount of people not wearing their mask properly, eg Bill Clinton."

And another observer joked: "People complaining about Bill Clinton not wearing his mask properly at inauguration, but tbh it must be pretty hard to fit a mask over your nose after lying under oath."

Mr Clinton arrived on the stage ahead of the 46th President's swearing in ceremony.

But while Hillary appeared to wear her mask correctly, her husband Bill was seen with the covering not over his nose.

Mr Clinton was seen mingling with other top politicians as they waited for Biden to take the stage.

Former Presidents Barack Obama, George W. Bush and Bill Clinton, as well as their spouses, also arrived at the Capitol for the scaled back ceremony.

But Bush was also pictured taking his mask off his completely as he spoke to delegates.

Vice President Mike Pence and other top Republicans were on hand as wel – despite Donald Trump snubbing the tradition of attending the Inauguration.

Reports came in that Trump left the letter for his predecessor as he quit the White House for the final time as president and left for Florida.
