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.

Watch aerial views of London on the day of King Charles III’s coronation.

His Majesty and the Queen Consort will embark on a procession from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Abbey at around 10:20am local time, before the King is crowned in a service conducted by the Archbishop of Canterbury at Westminster Abbey at 11am.

The newly-crowned King and Queen Consort will then travel in the Gold State Coach in a procession back to Buckingham Palace.

Once at the palace, Charles and Camilla will receive a royal salute from the military in the palace gardens, followed by a balcony moment where the couple will be joined by other members of the royal family to watch a flypast.

Crowds have been gathering along the Mall next to Buckingham Palace for several days ahead of the coronation, eager to secure a prime spot to catch a glimpse of Charles and Camilla.

Viewing areas along the procession route opened to the public from 6am on a first-come first-served basis.
