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.An enlarged stamp featuring the Queen's image on an old £1 note is one of six featured in the Royal Mail's Diamond Jubilee Definitives collection. The stamps, which will be available across the UK from today, show different images of the Queen used on stamps, banknotes or coins during the past 60 years.
The design of the 1st-class stamp has been updated in honour of the Queen's 60-year reign. Its traditional gold background has been replaced with a blue colour scheme and the words "Diamond Jubilee" highlighted in iridescent ink. The stamp will revert back to its original design in 2013 but is likely to become a collectors' item.
Royal Mail's chief executive Moya Greene said: "The Queen's image is one of the most recognisable in the world and we are delighted to bring these iconic images together."
