Mr Farage, who will appear at the rally, led Ukip from September 2006 until November 2009 and from November 2010 until September 2016 - and also served as acting leader from October to November 2016 - and was widely credited with increasing Ukip's profile and support. He left the party in December 2018 and formed The Brexit Party early this year, becoming leader in March.
