Protesters calling for a referendum on the final Brexit agreement met in London for what the organizers said was the largest, strongest and most important event of its kind.
A march begins at noon before a rally on Parliament Square, organized as part of the Popular Vote campaign.
Young voters lead the march, which should number more than 100,000 people.
Prime Minister Theresa May has already ruled out such a referendum.
Members of all major political parties support the demonstration.
Meanwhile, former UKIP executive, Nigel Farage, heads this afternoon a pro-Brexit rally at the Harrogate Convention Center, the latest in a series of events organized by the group Leave Means Leave.
"Chaos and confusion"
The British public voted in favor of an EU exit of 51.89% to 48.11% in a referendum held in June 2016.
The United Kingdom must leave on March 29, 2019, under the two-year process set out in Article 50.
The current plan provides for a 21-month transition period to facilitate Brexit's move to the UK and future permanent EU relations. But as the two sides have not yet reached agreement, it was revealed this week that the deal could be extended.
Leo Buckley said: "Young people risk losing the most"
Lord Adonis, a member of the Labor movement for the People's Vote, who wants a referendum on the outcome of the Brexit negotiations, said: "The Brexit is becoming a dog dinner.
"The chaos and confusion this week over the Brexit negotiations have shown how even the best deal currently available would be bad for Britain.
"It's a mess for which no one has voted and the reason we're in such a serious crisis is that the Brexit cheerleaders know that the promises they've made are not can never be held. "

& # 39; Small print & # 39;
NHS Against Brexit's Dr Mike Galsworthy told BBC News: "We need to stay in control of what's going on.
"Whether you vote in favor of the exit or you vote for it – when a contract comes up, you have the right to read the fine print and actually say" no, no, no, it does not matter. " is not what we want to sign & # 39 ;.
It follows a march in London in June, on the occasion of the second anniversary of the vote on Brexit.
