RIP Jesse Jackson. A man who spent his whole life in tireless activism. I photographed him here for The Independent at the Occupy London camp at St Paul’s Cathdral a few years back.
Sad to hear of the death of former Kids Company CEO Camila Batmanghelidjh. She did so much good work for marginalised kids, but never got the chance to make a comeback after being exonerated. Here’s a portrait I made of her for @the.independent a few years ago.
Photo by @susannahireland | Members of the anti-monarchist group Republic stage a protest in Trafalgar Square in London, UK, on the day of the coronation ceremony of Charles III and his wife, Camilla, as King and Queen of the United Kingdom and Commonwealth Realm nations. Republic is a British republican pressure group which advocates for the replacement of the UK's monarch with a non-political head of state elected to a ceremonial or constitutional position to represent the nation, to defend democracy, to act as a referee in the political process, and to offer a non-political voice at times of crisis and celebration.
