After arriving at the racecourse by helicopter, the Clacton MP beamed to photographers as he walked through the VIP entrance and joined TV star Jeremy Clarkson and former prime minister David Cameron in a box.

After backing a loser in one race Mr Farage, 60, playfully ripped up his betting slip but when asked what he thought of having a flutter, he responded: "I love it."

"I've been coming here for 40 years. It's just the most adorable day."
