Canadians saw almost every angle of Justin Trudeau's swearing-in as the country's 23rd prime minister on Wednesday, but several private moments behind the scenes were just as memorable.

As crowds lined up to be part of the historic day at Rideau Hall, Trudeau had already been up early in the Peace Tower with his children.

The chief correspondent for CBC News, Peter Mansbridge, was given unprecedented access to Trudeau that day as the Liberal leader visited his father's portrait in a Parliament hallway and rode in a bus with his cabinet en route to Rideau Hall.

There were plenty of other touching moments. A gentle head butt from a doting mother. A father sharing his love for Canada's Parliament with his children. A proud wife.

Trudeau shared those intimate photos with Canadians on Facebook Thursday, thanking them as well as people around the world for their support.
