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.

Looking for the perfect musical accompaniment to your wedding? The most fashionable choice of wedding singer this summer has been Florence Welch.

The flamed-haired chanteuse, also known as Florence and the Machine, has performed at two of the most written-about celebrity weddings this summer.

The supposedly "secret" nuptials between actors Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively last weekend in South Carolina featured a performance from Welch. The singer is friends with Lively, who starred in the TV series Gossip Girl.

Welch was also said to have sung at what was dubbed "the alternative wedding of the year", that of Lady Mary Charteris, the model, and her musician husband Robbie Furze.

After cornering the celebrity wedding market, it will be interesting to see if next year she decides to branch out into anniversaries, birthdays, bar mitzvahs and the like.
