Norman Cook has promised John Prescott a noisy welcome to Brighton this afternoon.

The superstar DJ, aka Fatboy Slim, is the latest in a string of high-profile names to commit themselves to the March For Falmer.

Norman said: "I wouldn't miss it. It is going to be passionate. I've been trying to explain to my son Woody what the protest is all about but I think he's a little bit too young to understand it."

Norman, whose record company Skint is the Albion's shirt sponsor, added: "I'm fairly sure the Government has already made its mind up and is waiting for the right moment to tell us. Well the right moment is now."
