Thousands of people gather at the final pro-independence rally at Plaza Espana tonight ahead of Sunday's referendum vote in Barcelona

Hundreds of tractors rolled into Barcelona to protect polling stations ahead of the 'banned' Catalan independence referendum this Sunday.

Striking images capture the moment more than 500 of the heavy vehicles were driven in to protect the '2,315 polling stations all over the region' - intended for the referendum that is said to have been banned by officials in Madrid.

Independence supporters, many wearing the colours of FC Barcelona or flying the estelada flag clung from the tractors in a loud, forceful show of strength.

    Catalonia is about 15% of the people in Spain, and about 40% of the domestic productivity.
    Spain. You have a big problem.
    You have really pissed those Catalans off. Spain has ensured that Catalonia will act independent until it gains independence.
    or so I see it.
