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.

Remembrance Sunday 2024 is being marked at London’s Cenotaph with its annual wreath-laying ceremony, ahead of a two-minute silence at 11:00 GMT.

Members of the Royal family will join politicians and Commonwealth leaders as they remember those who died serving the country.

Following the silence, 10,000 veterans will conduct a march past down to Parliament Square, back up Horse Guards parade ground, and see a salute at the Guards Memorial.

The Cenotaph service marks one of the Princess of Wales’ first major public outings since completing chemotherapy, after she made her first official appearance at the Royal Albert Hall’s Festival Of Remembrance last night (9 November).

The King, who is still receiving treatment for cancer, will also be in attendance. However, Queen Camilla will remain at home, where she is recovering from a chest infection.

In Belfast, Michelle O’Neill will become the first senior Sinn Féin figure to attend an official Remembrance Sunday ceremony.
