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.

Cheltenham Racecourse relaxed its dress code this year, the Jockey Club telling attendees to “dress as you feel most comfortable and confident”.

Celebrities and royals still dressed to the nines though at the Cheltenham Festival (March 14 to 17) and wrapped up warm to brave the chilly temperatures.

Here are some of the famous faces spotted at the four-day annual event…

Carol Vorderman

TV legend Carol Vorderman has attended every day of the festival so far.

On opening day she donned a classic white shirt with a black waist-cinching corset and pencil skirt, accessorising her outfit with a faux fur stole, black gloves and a feather-trimmed hat.

On Thursday, the former Countdown star chose a long, pale blue coat with a faux fur collar, worn over an all-black ensemble with a blue leather handbag.

The Queen Consort

Presenting trophies to winning jockeys on Ladies Day, the Queen Consort chose a classic camel coat and matching suede boots for the occasion.

Camilla carried a brown leather Aspinal handbag and topped her outfit with a fur-lined beige hat.

Zara Tindall

Daughter of the Princess Royal, Zara Tindall donned a maroon coat and hat with a navy blouse, trousers and handbag on day one.

Posing with husband Mike Tindall on day three, the former equestrian wore a dark blue tweed suit with a burgundy hat and handbag.

Joining daughter Zara, the Princess Royal was bundled up in a grey trapeze coat, tweed skirt and suede boots with a furry black hat and a colourful scarf tied around her collar.
