Hilda Brabban obituary - a clarification
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.We have been asked by the Estate of Freda Lingstrom to make clear that the characters of Bill and Ben the Flowerpot Men were the original creation of Freda Lingstrom and that, while Hilda Brabban [obituary, 30 September] sold three stories about characters called Bill and Ben to BBC Radio in 1951, these bore no resemblance to Freda Lingstrom's later Flowerpot Men.
