The former Ukip leader will jet off to the US for an almighty week-long knees-up ahead of the big day on January 20 at the invitation of Mississippi Governor Phil Bryant who introduced him to Mr Trump before the election.
A massive screening operation has been put into place ahead of the inauguration amid fears of protests around the Washington event.

Now as US security services are organising top level clearance for those who have been invited ahead of the big day Mr Farage has secured his place.
Mr Farage will fly out to the US capital to meet with Mr Bryant, a close ally of Donald Trump, days before the event.
He is expected to have unrivalled access to the new president alongside a string of hand picked guests and will take a seat on the inaugural platform to watch the swearing in ceremony.
According to a well-placed source Mr Farage will also attend a glitzy luncheon, take part in the inaugural parade, attend the ball, some galas and other politically focussed lobbying events.
He is expected to join his new found friend Donald Trump for a week long multi million pound celebration that will be played out both privately and publicly.
A source said: “Nigel will be attending as a guest of Phil Bryant, he’s extremely grateful to have been invited.
“It’s a historic occasion and he intends to make the most of it.
“Over the past few months, he’s got to know not only Mr Trump well, but also many contacts in the Republican party.
“While he’s not taking on any official role with the administration, he intends to retain his links.”
The inauguration celebration is being organised by a committee made up of Chairman Roy Blunt, Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell, Senator Charles E. Schumer, House speaker Paul D. Ryan, House majority leader Kevin McCarthy and House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi.
Details of the programme are remaining a secret at present, however if Mr Farage was planning to take a selfie stick along for all important photos then he’s out of luck as they are banned.
