Tributes to a sporting lord
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.Tributes have been pouring in following the death of the former Lord Chief Justice Lord Taylor (left), who died yesterday following a serious illness.
Hearings in the Court of Appeal and High Court were suspended as law lords, judges, barristers, and the public packed into the Lord Chief Justice's court to hear Lord Bingham, his successor, praise Lord Taylor's "mission to communicate", and his wisdom and humanity. A devoted family man, accomplished pianist and sportsman as well as a judge, Lord Taylor became a household name after his inquiry into the 1989 Hillsborough football-ground disaster.
