The artist behind the hit children's book the Gruffalo has produced exclusive merchandise in support of a march next week aimed at winning a new Brexit referendum.

Axel Scheffler has designed a range of products including a tote bag, sweatshirt and baby bodysuit ahead of the People's Vote and The Independent’s March for the Future which is set to take place in London on 20 October.

The march has similar objectives to The Independent’s Final Say campaign calling for a referendum on the final Brexit deal – the petition has been signed by more than 850,000 people so far.

In June more than 100,000 people marched on parliament to demand a referendum on the final deal.

The March for the Future is expected to be bigger and the largest anti-Brexit demonstration to date.

A number of household names from the film, music, comedy and sport industries have all pledged to pay for people to travel to London for the demonstration.

Stars including Delia Smith, Sir Patrick Stewart and Ian McEwan are among public figures who have pledged support to help people from their home towns.

They have each donated more than £1,000 to sponsor a coach to transport activists to London.

Dozens of coaches have already been booked and campaigners are hoping to announce more celebrity sponsors in the coming days.
