This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.

The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.

Help us keep bring these critical stories to light. Your support makes all the difference.

The Battle of Waterloo, the signing of the Magna Carta and the Dunkirk evacuation are three of the major anniversaries this year, according to English Heritage, which has identified its top ten historic moments to be marked in 2015.

The organisation, which looks after over 400 of England’s historic sites, has also identified the Battle of Agincourt and the Viking invasion by King Cnut as historic moments that will be commemorated with activities and events throughout 2015.

To help you make the most of a momentous year, here are the details of how you can take part and commemorate these historical events.
