Nigel Farage is to host a lavish party for Donald Trump's inauguration in Washington DC.

Five hundred US politicians, including senators, governors and congressmen, as well as media stars and other members of the Washington elite are on the guest list.

Mr Trump and his family have also been invited and although they have not formally accepted, organisers hope the newly sworn in President will attend.

Sky News understands the top floor of the five star exclusive The Hay-Adams hotel has been hired.

The $500-a-night hotel, located just metres away from the White House, hosted the Obamas two weeks before their inauguration eight years ago.


Mr Farage is also expected to attend the inauguration ceremony itself as a guest of Mississippi Governor Phil Bryant.

"The Governor of Mississippi has invited me and I'm there for a few days and it's going to be a great, historic event," he told Sky News.

"In America they've had a political revolution and it's complete; the problem in Britain is our revolution is not complete because the same people are still in charge."

Mr Farage was a passionate supporter of Mr Trump during the campaign trail, attending pro-Trump rallies and widely criticising Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.

He later became the first UK politician to meet him just days after he was elected.

Both Mr Farage and Mr Trump have regularly compared the US election to the UK's vote to leave the EU.

Separately, the day before the inauguration, Arron Banks, a leading donor to the leave EU movement, is expected to meet with executives of Warner Bros about making a film telling the Brexit story.

The studio is apparently eager to adopt his memoir, The Bad Boys of Brexit.

The book tells the story of the car insurance salesman's rise to prominence, having supported UKIP and Brexit in the recent referendum.
