Thousands of people are expected to march through London to demand a new referendum on Brexit just as parliament decides the fate of Britain's departure from the European Union.
After more than three years of tortuous debate, it is still uncertain how, when or even if Brexit will happen as Prime Minister Boris Johnson tries to pass his new Brexit deal and plots a way out of the deepest political crisis in a generation.
The protesters, from around the United Kingdom, will gather at Park Lane near Hyde Park at midday on Saturday and walk down to parliament as lawmakers prepare to vote in the first Saturday session since the 1982 Falklands war.
While Brexit has divided families, parties, parliament and the country, both sides agree that Saturday could be one of the most important days in recent British history: a juncture that could shape the fate of the United Kingdom for generations.
Campaigners are confident that the number of people on the streets will rival a similar demonstration held in March, when organisers said 1 million people took to the streets.
A rally this size would be among the largest ever in Britain.
More than 170 coaches from around Britain are due to arrive in London to take people to the march. Nine coaches left Scotland on Friday evening and four left from Cornwall on England's western tip in the early hours of Saturday.
