Nigel Farage's conference speech notes left on lectern
Nigel Farage delivered his Ukip conference speech from what appeared to be two pages of hastily-scribbled notes.
They were sitting next to a pipe - given to him as a gift by a previous speaker - on his lectern.
The notes contain a series of cues and slogans - some of which are illegible - rather than fully-formed sentences.
The first page is entitled "Conference Speech" under which are the words: "One year on Victory ... WE DID IT"
Other phrases in the notes include "Home front," "Time of change" and "Ukip positive political movement".
Next to the words "Scottish referendum" it says "ENGLAND VOICE". and next to "Immigration" it says "numbers out of control".
The final words on the page are: "Hold balance power referendum".

Ukip deputy: Working class voters 'low-hanging fruit'
Ukip's deputy leader says the party are deliberately targeting disillusioned working class voters, describing them as the "low-hanging fruit in politics".
Paul Nuttall told BBC Radio 4's World at One: "I've been saying since 2007 that the low-hanging fruit in British politics are disaffected working-class people who will no longer vote for Labour, who feel that the Labour Party leadership doesn't represent them and has no empathy with them."
Mr Nuttall also said Ukip would welcome Tory MP Philip Hollobone "with open arms" if he decided to defect to the party, as some reports have suggested he may.
Ukip pledge 'extra 2,500 staff at UK borders'
Ukip have pledged to bring in an extra 2,500 "frontline staff and search teams" to help control Britain's border.
The party's Migration and Financial Affairs Spokesman, Steven Woolfe, hit out at "mass, unskilled, uncontrolled migration", which he said had depressed wages in the UK.
Mr Woolfe also pledged to introduce new "priority entry points" at ports and airports, meaning "one line for British passport holders and one line for the rest of the world".
