During the speech in Washington DC a television camera panned to Sasha as she sat beside her sister Malia (14), and mother Michelle.

Despite letting out the huge yawn, Sasha still managed to diligently clap for her father.

Social networks were immediately abuzz with admiration for the youngster. One user wrote: “Best part of the inauguration: Sasha’s GIANT ‘Dad you’re boring me’ yawn.”

Rachel Mc said, “Did Sasha just yawn? Love it! #kids’, while another said that the schoolgirl would be ‘hearing about the yawn for the rest of her life’.

While the speech in front of 700,000 spectators might not have been that gripping for the 11-year-old, her interest was certainly piqued when Beyonce sang the national anthem.

The sisters were also seen laughing and joking with their mother throughout the ceremony, while they also played with their mobile phones.
