Many believe the UK is heading for a no deal or a bad deal Brexit and want to have their say. Among the celebrities involved are actor Steve Coogan chef Delia Smith and Dragons Den star Deborah Meaden.
Some have even contributed to buses bringing people to the capital from all over the country. It is thought that thousands of students will take part many of whom were too young to have their say in the 2016 referendum.
Hilary Gyebi-Ababio a third year student at Bristol University told Sky News: I was three days shy of voting against Brexit but I feel now that if we do get a people’s vote I would be getting my voice back because I really feel like I lost it during the campaign which is ridiculous.
Some students are coming from as far afield as Orkney an archipelago off the northeastern coast of Scotland. They had to leave at 6am on Friday to make it in time for Saturday’s rally.
Brexit has undoubtedly been the great divider. It has split parliament the Conservative party the cabinet and the nation.

This week, she has come under even more pressure by conceding that we may have to remain tied to EU rules for longer, with an extended transition period.
Co-chair of the Leave Means Leave campaign, Richard Tice said: It is not a people’s vote, it is actually a losers vote.
They can’t accept the democratic will of the public. They only accept democracy when it votes their way.
It is a losers’ vote by those who don’t understand why 17.4 million people up and down the country voted to leave.
