Police and demonstrators clash in downtown Washington after a limo was set on fire.
The banners tackled issues raised by the President-elect on his campaign to reach The White House, including race, immigration and women's rights.
Nona Hurkmans, a spokesman for organiser Bridges Not Walls, said: "On Trump's inauguration day, we're taking action to show our support for groups under attack – here in the UK, across Europe and in the USA – and to reject the rise of a dangerous and divisive far right politics.
"We won't let the politics of hate peddled by the likes of Donald Trump take hold. What happens next is up to us and by standing together, we can show that the rhetoric of fear and hate have no place in our society."
