Nigel Farage was photographed on the Mall today wearing an eye-catching pair of Union Jack shoes while conversing with a mystery woman as part of the Platinum Jubilee celebrations.
Thousands of spectators watched the first day of events celebrating the Queen’s 70-year reign in central London today, including the broadcaster and strong royalist.
The 58-year-old was dressed well in a navy blue suit and sunglasses. He finished off the look with a pair of Union Jack-emblazoned sneakers.
He was accompanied by a mystery woman as he made his way along the Mall on the momentous day for Her Majesty.
Speaking before the grandiose Trooping the Colour on Twitter, Mr Farage said the number of people in London was ‘incredible’.
He said: ‘It’s June 2, 2022, it’s the beginning of the Platinum Jubilee. It’s also the 69th anniverary of course of the day the Queen was actually crowned.
‘Now, it is of course the Queen’s birthday parade, known as Trooping the Colour, the crowds are incredible here in London.
o you know what? It’s great to be British, it really is! Everyone celebrate!’
The identify of the woman walking with Mr Farage has not yet been revealed.
The twice-married former politician is currently believed to be single, after the end of his last marriage to German-born bond trader Kirsten Mehr.
The couple had married in 1999, two years after Mr Farage divorced his first wife Grainne, who is the mother of his eldest two children.
Later, he explained the reasons for his divorce in typically flamboyant style: ‘My marriage, which had been on ice and torpid with its claws bound for so long we had both forgotten it was alive at all, finally expired.’
Since the the end of his marriage to Ms Mehr, with whom he has two children, he has been linked romantically to other women.
In 2017 he was linked to French politician Laure Ferrari, who is 17 years his junior, and she was named as his mistress when news of his separation from his second wife became public knowledge.
