Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Sir: A plan could be drawn up for a commemorative garden for Diana, Princess of Wales, in Kensington Gardens adjacent to Kensington Palace where thousands of mourners' flowers have already been placed. Such a garden might combine several smaller gardens and pavilions from all over the world to be representative of the breadth and depth of the Princess's international appeal.

A garden is a place of sanctuary and renewal. Such a garden within one of our Royal Parks would be a fitting tribute to a princess whose compassionate and strong will for her own healing and renewal were generously shared with those she found in most need.
