Letter: Liverpool thanks Aintree crowd
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.Sir: On behalf of the people of the City of Liverpool I would like to thank all the many thousands of visitors who displayed such tolerance and forbearance during the exceptional events at Aintree this weekend.
We were pleased to be able to help with accommodation but could not have achieved so much without assistance from a host of other organisations, agencies and above all, the many residents who so generously - and typically - opened their own doors to help.
I hope all those who travelled to Merseyside for the Grand National will not be put off returning and look forward to seeing them here again next year under happier circumstances.
