The removal of US President Donald Trump's name from the facade of The John F Kennedy Centre for the Performing Arts in Washington was completed on Saturday. The move comes after a federal court ordered the venue to reverse its renaming, according to a legal filing submitted by the centre's executive director.

The process that began early in the morning under the cover of curtains was completed as stated by the center's executive director and chief operating officer Matt Floca.
In a declaration filed with US district judge Christopher Cooper, Floca wrote that the board of trustees and the centre had removed "all physical signage on the Kennedy Center building and grounds, including the front portico, that purports to rename the Kennedy Center after President Trump."
Video making rounds on the internet showed crowd gathered outside the Kennedy Centre as removal carried out behind white tard hung by scaffoldings. People could be heard cheering "take it down" in unison.
