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.'Land of Hope and Glory' - 'Rule, Britannia!' - 'Jerusalem': three titles that spell out 'The Last Night of the Proms'. Until tonight, the only way of enjoying all the flag-waving fun has been to join the 5,000 stalwarts in the Royal Albert Hall. Either that, or sit at home glued to BBCtv or Radio 3. But now, thanks to support from AT&T, the whole of the second half will be beamed by live video link on to giant screens in Hyde Park, where a potential throng of 40,000 will be able to join in the annual singalong. And just to get everyone in the mood, there's a special 'Proms in the Park' first half, with an hour and a half of light classical favourites performed by the BBC Concert Orchestra with special guests James Galway, Maria Ewing and the Labeque Sisters.
Hyde Park Speaker's Corner. Gates open 4pm. Show starts 6pm. Tickets pounds 7.50 (plus booking fee) from selected HMV and Tower Record stores only. Information hotline: 0171-413 3571
