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.The gold hearse that has ferried Whitney Houston's body across New Jersey took her coffin on its final journey yesterday, to the cemetery in Westfield where she was laid to rest in a private ceremony.
Onlookers gathered along the route to her grave as the hearse carrying her coffin entered the cemetery, flanked by police cars and following a pick-up truck brimming with flowers.
The singer, who died on 11 February, aged just 48, was buried in the same cemetery where her father was interred in 2003.
Houston was mourned at an invitation-only funeral service on Saturday at the church in Newark where she sang in the choir as a child. The service featured tributes by some of the biggest names in music, including Stevie Wonder and Alicia Keys.
