where two options for the proposed grade separation of Keymer Junction are detailed, both of which would transform the station dramatically. Option 1 is the minimal option and creates a new platform 0 on the west side of the station served by a 3rd track from the new flyover line from Lewes. Option 2 is much more ambitious and builds on option 1 by adding an additional 4th platform on the east side of the station as well, served by a 4th track on the line to Lewes. Whilst this would enable each line to the south to have a dedicated platform the primary benefit would be that the existing platforms could be used to turn back trains in either direction as needed without blocking the main lines. | 22,800 |

Alexandra of Yugoslavia
Alexandra of Greece and Denmark (, ; 25 March 1921 – 30 January 1993) was, by marriage to King Peter II, the last Queen of Yugoslavia.
Posthumous daughter of King Alexander of Greece and his morganatic wife Aspasia Manos, Alexandra was not part of the Greek royal family until July 1922, when at the behest of Queen Sophia, a law was passed which retroactively recognized marriages of members of the royal family, although on a non-dynastic basis; in consequence, she obtained the style and name of "Her Royal Highness Princess Alexandra of Greece and Denmark". At the same time, a serious political and military crisis, linked to the defeat of Greece against Turkey in Anatolia, | 22,801 |
269823 | Alexandra of Yugoslavia | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Alexandra%20of%20Yugoslavia | Alexandra of Yugoslavia
gradually led to the deposition and exile of the royal family, beginning in 1924. Being the only members of the dynasty allowed to remain in the country by the Second Hellenic Republic, the princess and her mother later found refuge in Italy, with Dowager Queen Sophia.
After three years with her paternal grandmother, Alexandra left Florence to continue her studies in the United Kingdom, while her mother settled in Venice. Separated from her mother, the princess fell ill, forcing Aspasia to make her leave the boarding school where she was studying. After the restoration of her uncle, King George II, on the Hellenic throne in 1935, Alexandra stayed in her native country several times but the | 22,802 |
269823 | Alexandra of Yugoslavia | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Alexandra%20of%20Yugoslavia | Alexandra of Yugoslavia
outbreak of the Greco-Italian War, in 1940, forcing her and her mother to settle in Athens. The invasion of Greece by the Axis powers in April–May 1941, however, led to their moving to the United Kingdom. Again exiled, Alexandra met in London the young King Peter II of Yugoslavia, who also went into exile after the invasion of his country by the Germans.
Quickly, Alexandra and Peter II fell in love and planned to marry. Opposition from both Peter's mother, Maria, and the Yugoslav government in exile forced the couple to delay their marriage plans until 1944, when they finally celebrated their wedding. A year later, Alexandra gave birth to her only son, Alexander, Crown Prince of Yugoslavia. | 22,803 |
269823 | Alexandra of Yugoslavia | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Alexandra%20of%20Yugoslavia | Alexandra of Yugoslavia
However, the happiness of the family was short-lived: on 29 November 1945, Marshal Tito proclaimed the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and Alexandra, who had never set foot in her adopted country, was left without a crown. The abolition of the Yugoslav monarchy had very serious consequences for the royal couple. Penniless and unable to adapt to the role of citizen, Peter II turned to alcoholism and multiple affairs with other women. Depressed by the behaviour of her husband, Alexandra neglected her son and made several suicide attempts. After the death of Peter II in 1970, Alexandra's health continued to deteriorate. She died of cancer in 1993 and her remains were buried in the Royal | 22,804 |
269823 | Alexandra of Yugoslavia | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Alexandra%20of%20Yugoslavia | Alexandra of Yugoslavia
Cemetery Plot in the park of Tatoi in Greece, before being transferred to the Royal Mausoleum of Oplenac in 2013.
# Life.
## A birth surrounded by intrigues.
### The issue of the Greek succession.
Princess Alexandra was born in a difficult environment. Five months before her birth, her father, King Alexander, died of sepsis following a monkey bite which occurred in the gardens of Tatoi. The unexpected death of the sovereign caused a serious political crisis in Greece, at a time when public opinion was already divided by the events of the World War I and the Greco-Turkish War. The King had concluded an unequal marriage with Aspasia Manos, and, in consequence, their offspring was not dynastic. | 22,805 |
269823 | Alexandra of Yugoslavia | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Alexandra%20of%20Yugoslavia | Alexandra of Yugoslavia
Due to the lack of another candidate for the throne, Prime Minister Eleftherios Venizelos was soon forced to accept the restoration of his enemy, King Constantine I, on 19 December 1920. Alexander's brief reign was officially treated as a regency, which meant that his marriage, contracted without his father's permission, was technically illegal, the marriage void, and the couple's posthumous child illegitimate.
The last months of pregnancy of Aspasia are surrounded by intrigue. In the case that she gave birth a boy (who would be named Philip, as the father of Alexander the Great), rumours soon assured that she was determined to place him on the throne after his birth. True or not, this possibility | 22,806 |
269823 | Alexandra of Yugoslavia | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Alexandra%20of%20Yugoslavia | Alexandra of Yugoslavia
worried the Greek royal family, whose fears about the birth of a male child were exploited by the Venizelists to revive the succession crisis. The birth of a girl, on 25 March 1921, was a great relief for the dynasty, and both King Constantine I and his mother, Queen Dowager Olga, agreed to be the godparents of the newborn.
### Integration into the royal family.
Still, neither Alexandra nor Aspasia received more official recognition: from a legal point of view, they were commoners without any rights in the royal family. Things changed from July 1922 when, after the intervention of Queen Sophia, was passed a law which retroactively recognized marriages of members of the Royal Family, although | 22,807 |
269823 | Alexandra of Yugoslavia | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Alexandra%20of%20Yugoslavia | Alexandra of Yugoslavia
on a non-dynastic basis; with this legal subterfuge, the little princess obtained the style of "Royal Highness" and the title of "Princess of Greece and Denmark". Thus, Alexandra's birth became legitimate in the eyes of Greek law, but since the marriage was recognized on a 'non-dynastic basis', her royal status was tenuous at best; however, this belated recognition made it possible for her to later make an advantageous marriage, which would not have been possible if she was nothing more than the daughter of the King's morganatic spouse.
Aspasia, however, was not mentioned in the law and remained a commoner in the eyes of protocol. Humiliated by this difference in treatment, she begged Prince | 22,808 |
269823 | Alexandra of Yugoslavia | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Alexandra%20of%20Yugoslavia | Alexandra of Yugoslavia
Christopher (whose commoner wife, Nancy Stewart Worthington Leeds, was entitled to be known as a Princess of Greece), to intercede on her behalf. Moved by the arguments of his niece-in-law, he approached Queen Sophia, who eventually changed her opinion. Under pressures from his wife, King Constantine I issued a decree, gazetted 10 September 1922 under which Aspasia received the title "Princess of Greece and Denmark" and the style of "Royal Highness".
## Childhood in exile.
### From Athens to Florence.
Despite these positive developments, the situation of Alexandra and her mother did not improve. Indeed, Greece experiencing a series of military defeats against Turkey and a coup d'état soon | 22,809 |
269823 | Alexandra of Yugoslavia | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Alexandra%20of%20Yugoslavia | Alexandra of Yugoslavia
forced King Constantine I to abdicate again, this time in favor of "Diadochos" George, on 27 September 1922. Things went from bad to worse for the country; a further coup forced the new ruler, his wife and his brother to leave the country on 19 December 1923. On 25 March 1924, the Second Hellenic Republic was proclaimed and both Aspasia and Alexandra were then the only members of the dynasty allowed to stay in Greece.
Penniless, Aspasia chose to take the path of exile with her daughter in early 1924. The two princesses found refuge with Queen Sophia, who moved to the "Villa Bobolina" near Florence, shortly after the death of her husband on 11 January 1923. The now dowager queen, who loved Alexandra, | 22,810 |
269823 | Alexandra of Yugoslavia | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Alexandra%20of%20Yugoslavia | Alexandra of Yugoslavia
was thrilled, even if her financial situation was also precarious. With her paternal grandmother, the princess spent a happy childhood with her aunts Crown Princess Helen of Romania, Princesses Irene and Katerine of Greece, and her cousins Prince Philip of Greece (the future Duke of Edinburgh) and Prince Michael of Romania, who were her playmates during holidays.
### From London to Venice.
In 1927, Alexandra and her mother moved to Ascot, Berkshire, in the United Kingdom. They were greeted by Sir James Horlick, 4th Baronet, and his family, who harbored them in their castle near the hippodrome. Now seven years old, Alexandra was enrolled in boarding schools in Westfield and Heathfield, as was | 22,811 |
269823 | Alexandra of Yugoslavia | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Alexandra%20of%20Yugoslavia | Alexandra of Yugoslavia
the custom for the upper class. However, the Princess took very badly to this experience: separated from her mother, she stopped eating and eventually contracted tuberculosis. Alarmed, Aspasia thus moved her daughter to Switzerland for treatment. Later, Alexandra was educated in a Parisian finishing school, during which time she and her mother stayed at the Hotel Crillon.
Eventually, the two Princesses settled on the Island of Giudecca in Venice, where Aspasia acquired a small property with her savings and Horlick's financial support. The former home of Caroline Eden, great-aunt of British Prime Minister Anthony Eden, the villa and its 3.6 hectares of landscaped grounds were nicknamed the "Garden | 22,812 |
269823 | Alexandra of Yugoslavia | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Alexandra%20of%20Yugoslavia | Alexandra of Yugoslavia
of Eden", which delighted the Greek Princesses.
## Restoration of the Greek monarchy.
### Between Greece and Venice.
In 1935, the Second Hellenic Republic was abolished and King George II (Alexandra's uncle) was restored to the throne after a referendum organized by General Georgios Kondylis. Alexandra was then allowed to return to Greece, a country she had not seen since 1924. Although she continued to reside in Venice with her mother (who still suffered the ostracism of the royal family), the princess was invited to all the great ceremonies that punctuate the life of the dynasty. In 1936, she participated in the official ceremonies who marked the reburial in Tatoi of the remains of King | 22,813 |
269823 | Alexandra of Yugoslavia | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Alexandra%20of%20Yugoslavia | Alexandra of Yugoslavia
Constantine I, Queen Sophia and Dowager Queen Olga, all three died in exile in Italy. Two years later, in 1938, she was invited to the wedding of her uncle, the "Diadochos" Paul, with Princess Frederica of Hanover.
Despite her participation in the ceremonies of the Greek royal family, at that time Alexandra understood that she was not a full member of the European royalty. Her mother had to claim in her name the share of the inheritance of Alexandra's paternal grandparents. Especially, the princess had to deal with the fact that her mother had no site in the royal necropolis of Tatoi. In fact, during the 1936 ceremonies, a chapel was arranged in the park of the palace for the remains of King | 22,814 |
269823 | Alexandra of Yugoslavia | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Alexandra%20of%20Yugoslavia | Alexandra of Yugoslavia
Constantine I and Queen Sophia. The remains of King Alexander, previously based in the gardens next to his grandfather King George I, were then transferred at the side of his parents in the chapel, with no space reserved for Aspasia.
### First marriage proposal.
Now a teenager, Alexandra began to attract the gaze of men. In 1936, the fifteen-years-old Princess received her first marriage proposal: King Zog I of Albania, who wished to marry a member of the European royalty in order to consolidate his position, asked her hand. However, the Greek diplomacy, which maintained complex relations with the Kingdom of Albania because of the possession of Northern Epirus, rejected this proposal and King | 22,815 |
269823 | Alexandra of Yugoslavia | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Alexandra%20of%20Yugoslavia | Alexandra of Yugoslavia
Zog I eventually married the Hungarian Countess Géraldine Apponyi de Nagy-Appony in 1938.
Like all women of her age, Alexandra participated in numerous dances, which aimed to introduce her to the European elite. In 1937 she was presented in Paris, where she danced with her cousin, the Duke of Windsor, installed in France with Wallis Simpson since his abdication.
## World War II.
### From Venice to London.
The outbreak of the Greco-Italian War on 28 October 1940 forced Alexandra and her mother suddenly to leave Venice and the fascist Italy. They settled with the rest of the Royal Family in Athens. Eager to serve their country in this difficult moment, both Princesses became nurses alongside | 22,816 |
269823 | Alexandra of Yugoslavia | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Alexandra%20of%20Yugoslavia | Alexandra of Yugoslavia
the other women of the Royal Family. However, after several months of victorious battles against the Italian forces, Greece was gradually invaded by the army of the Nazi Germany after 6 April 1941. Alexandra and the majority of the members of the Royal Family left the country a few days later, on 22 April. After a brief stay in Crete, where they received a German bombing, the Greek Royal Family departed for Egypt and South Africa.
While several members of the Royal Family were forced to spend World War II in South Africa, Alexandra and her mother obtained the permission of King George II of Greece and the British government to move to the United Kingdom. They arrived at Liverpool in the autumn | 22,817 |
269823 | Alexandra of Yugoslavia | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Alexandra%20of%20Yugoslavia | Alexandra of Yugoslavia
of 1941 and settled in London in the district of Mayfair. In the English capital, the Greek princesses resumed their activities in the Red Cross. Better accepted than in their own country, they were regular guests of the Duchess of Kent (born Princess Marina of Greece) and of the future Duke of Edinburgh (born Prince Philip of Greece), who was rumoured to be briefly engaged to Alexandra.
### Love and marriage.
However, it was not her cousin Philip whom Alexandra finally married. In 1942, the Princess met her third cousin, King Peter II of Yugoslavia in an officers' gala at Grosvenor House. The 19-year-old sovereign had lived in exile in London since the invasion of his country by the Axis | 22,818 |
269823 | Alexandra of Yugoslavia | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Alexandra%20of%20Yugoslavia | Alexandra of Yugoslavia
powers on 6 April 1941. Quickly, they fell in love with each other and considered marriage, which greatly delighted Princess Aspasia. However, the sharp opposition of Queen Maria of Yugoslavia, Peter II's mother, and the Yugoslav government-in-exile, which deemed it indecent to celebrate a wedding while Yugoslavia was dismembered and occupied, prevented for a while the marital project. For two years, the lovers had only brief meetings in the residence of the Duchess of Kent.
After a brief stay of Peter II in Cairo, Egypt, the couple finally married on 20 March 1944. The ceremony, at which the King's mother refused to participate, was held at the Yugoslav embassy in London. Marked by restrictions | 22,819 |
269823 | Alexandra of Yugoslavia | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Alexandra%20of%20Yugoslavia | Alexandra of Yugoslavia
due to the war, Alexandra wore a wedding dress that was lent her by Lady Mary Lygon, wife of Prince Vsevolod Ivanovich of Russia (himself the son of Princess Helen of Serbia). Among the guests at the ceremony, there were four reigning kings and queens (George VI of the United Kingdom, George II of Greece, Haakon VII of Norway and Wilhelmina of the Netherlands) and several other members of European royalty, including the two brothers of the groom (Prince Tomislav and Prince Andrew), the mother of the bride, the British Queen Elizabeth, Prince Henry, Duke of Gloucester and Princess Marina, Duchess of Kent.
## Queen in exile.
### Liberation of Yugoslavia and the communist victory.
Now queen | 22,820 |
269823 | Alexandra of Yugoslavia | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Alexandra%20of%20Yugoslavia | Alexandra of Yugoslavia
of Yugoslavia, Alexandra, however, had tenuous links with her new country, living under the Nazi occupation. In 1941, a large portion of the Yugoslav territory was annexed by the Axis powers. Crown Prince Michael of Montenegro refused to resurrect his ancient Kingdom under Italian and German protection and guidance, and thus the region of Montenegro has been transformed into a "governorate" by fascist Italy. Finally, the other two main parts of Yugoslavia were reduced to puppet states: the Serbia of General Milan Nedić and the Croatian Kingdom of the Ustaše. As all over occupied Europe, Yugoslav civilians suffered the abuses of the invaders and collaborators who supported them. Two groups emerged | 22,821 |
269823 | Alexandra of Yugoslavia | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Alexandra%20of%20Yugoslavia | Alexandra of Yugoslavia
in the country: the Chetniks, led by General monarchist Draža Mihailović, and the Partisans, led by the communist Marshal Josip Broz Tito.
From London, the Yugoslav government-in-exile supported the struggle of the royalist forces and appointed General Mihailović as Chief Minister of War. However, the importance of the Partisans gradually pushed the allied forces to trust the Communists and give increasingly limited help to Mihailović, who was accused of collaborating with the Axis powers to shoot communist guerrillas. After the Tehran Conference (1943), the Allies finally broke their ties with the Chetniks, forcing the Yugoslav government-in-exile to recognize the preeminence of the Partisans. | 22,822 |
269823 | Alexandra of Yugoslavia | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Alexandra%20of%20Yugoslavia | Alexandra of Yugoslavia
In June 1944, Prime Minister Ivan Šubašić officially appointed Marshal Tito as the head of the Yugoslav resistance and Mihailović was dismissed. In October 1944, Churchill and Stalin concluded an agreement to split Yugoslavia into two occupation zones, but after the liberation of Belgrade by the Red Army and the Partisans, it became clear the Communists predominated in the country. A harsh treatment, which affected the monarchists, took place; at the request of Churchill, Tito agreed in March 1945 to recognize a Regency Council (which had almost no activity) but opposed the return of King Peter II, who had to remain in exile with Alexandra while a government coalition dominated by the Communists | 22,823 |
269823 | Alexandra of Yugoslavia | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Alexandra%20of%20Yugoslavia | Alexandra of Yugoslavia
was constituted in Belgrade.
### Birth of Crown Prince Alexander and Peter II's deposition.
In this turbulent context, Alexandra gave birth to an heir, named Alexander after his two grandfathers, Alexander of Yugoslavia and Alexander of Greece. The birth took place in Suite 212 of Claridge's Hotel in Brook Street, London, on 17 July 1945. To enable the child to be born on Yugoslav soil, the British Prime Minister Winston Churchill reportedly asked King George VI to issue a decree transforming, for a day, Suite 212 into Yugoslav territory, which was to be the only time Alexandra was in Yugoslavia as queen. Some time later, the newborn Crown Prince was baptized by the Serbian Patriarch Gavrilo | 22,824 |
269823 | Alexandra of Yugoslavia | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Alexandra%20of%20Yugoslavia | Alexandra of Yugoslavia
V in Westminster Abbey, with King George VI and his eldest daughter (the future Queen Elizabeth II) acting as godparents.
The festivities marking the birth of the crown prince, however, were short-lived. Less than eight months after joining the coalition government, Milan Grol and Ivan Šubašić resigned their offices of Vice-Prime Minister (18 August) and Foreign Minister (8 October), respectively, to mark their political disagreement with Marshal Tito. Faced with the rise of the Communists, King Peter II decided, to withdraw his confidence from the Regency Council and regain all his sovereign prerogatives in Yugoslavia (8 August). Tito responded by immediately depriving the Royal Family of | 22,825 |
269823 | Alexandra of Yugoslavia | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Alexandra%20of%20Yugoslavia | Alexandra of Yugoslavia
the civil list, which was soon to have dramatic consequences in the lives of the royal couple. Especially, Tito ordered the organization of early elections to a Constituent Assembly. The campaign took place in an irregular way, in the middle of pressures and violence of all kinds, with the opposition deciding to boycott the poll. On 24 November 1945 a single list presented by the communists was proposed to voters: while there were hardly more than 10,000 Communists throughout Yugoslavia before the war, their candidates list obtained more than 90% of the votes in the referendum.
In their first meeting on 29 November 1945, the Constituent Assembly voted immediately to abolish the monarchy and | 22,826 |
269823 | Alexandra of Yugoslavia | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Alexandra%20of%20Yugoslavia | Alexandra of Yugoslavia
proclaimed the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. While no referendum accompanied this institutional change, the new regime was quickly recognized by virtually all of the international countries (except Francoist Spain).
## Marital problems and suicide attempts.
### Financial and marital difficulties.
Now without income and any prospect of returning to Yugoslavia, Peter II and Alexandra resolved to leave Claridge's Hotel and moved to a mansion in the Borough of Runnymede. Abandoned by the British government, they settled for a time in France, between Paris and Monte Carlo, then in Switzerland at St. Moritz. Increasingly penniless, they ended up leaving Europe and in 1949, they settled | 22,827 |
269823 | Alexandra of Yugoslavia | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Alexandra%20of%20Yugoslavia | Alexandra of Yugoslavia
in New York City, where the former King hoped to complete a financial project. Still penniless, the couple was forced to sell Alexandra's necklace of emeralds and others pieces of her jewelry to pay their accumulated debts. In addition to these difficulties was the fact that they were unable to manage a budget. As she herself wrote in her autobiography, Alexandra had no idea of the value of things and she quickly proved incapable of maintaining a home.
In the United States, Peter II soon drifted away. Having made poor financial investments, he lost the little money he had left. Unable to adapt to the daily life of a normal citizen, he gradually turned to alcoholism and trying to forget his | 22,828 |
269823 | Alexandra of Yugoslavia | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Alexandra%20of%20Yugoslavia | Alexandra of Yugoslavia
problems with several affairs with younger women. For her part, Alexandra's love for her husband turned to obsession. Likely prone to anorexia for years. Increasingly unstable, she made her first suicide attempt during a visit to her mother in Venice during the summer of 1950.
The relations of the royal couple went from bad to worse. Alexandra used her son to put pressure on her husband and the child witnessed very violent scenes between his parents. Thanks to the intervention of his maternal grandmother, the 4-year-old Crown Prince Alexander was sent to Italy with the Count and Countess of Robilant, friends of the royal couple. The child then grew up in an atmosphere much more stable and loving, | 22,829 |
269823 | Alexandra of Yugoslavia | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Alexandra%20of%20Yugoslavia | Alexandra of Yugoslavia
with only few visits from his parents.
### Divorce attempt and reconciliation.
The year 1952 was marked by further financial problems due to bad investments of Peter II. Alexandra also suffered a miscarriage. The couple returned to France, where the situation did not improve. In 1953, Alexandra made another suicide attempt in Paris, which she survived thanks to a phone call from her aunt, Queen Frederica of Greece. Tired by the mental instability of his wife, Peter II finally launched a process of divorce in the French courts. The intervention of his son the crown prince and the king and queen of Greece convinced him, however, to abandon his intentions.
The couple reconciled and for a time | 22,830 |
269823 | Alexandra of Yugoslavia | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Alexandra%20of%20Yugoslavia | Alexandra of Yugoslavia
they live a second honeymoon. However, the need for money continued to be felt and Alexandra was persuaded by a British publisher to write her autobiography. With the help of the ghostwriter Joan Reeder, in 1956 she published "For Love of a King" (translated into French the following year under the title "Pour l'Amour d'un Roi"). Alexandra was always in financial need despite the relative success of the book. In 1959, she co-wrote a second book, this time about her cousin, the Duke of Edinburgh. Though it revealed nothing compromising about the Duke of Edinburgh, the book prompted the British Royal Family to distance itself from Alexandra.
For some time, the couple moved to Cannes, while Peter | 22,831 |
269823 | Alexandra of Yugoslavia | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Alexandra%20of%20Yugoslavia | Alexandra of Yugoslavia
II maintained a chancellery in Monte Carlo. Considering himself still King of Yugoslavia, the former sovereign continued to award titles and decorations. Supported by some monarchists as the "Duke of Saint-Bar", he even maintained an embassy in Madrid. However, the reconciliation of the royal couple finally soured and Peter II returned to live in the United States while Alexandra moved with her mother to the "Garden of Eden".
In 1963, on September 1 or before, Alexandra made another suicide attempt in Venice. Narrowly saved by her son Crown Prince Alexander, she spent a long period of convalescence under the constant care of her sister-in-law, Princess Margarita of Baden (wife of Peter II's | 22,832 |
269823 | Alexandra of Yugoslavia | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Alexandra%20of%20Yugoslavia | Alexandra of Yugoslavia
brother Prince Tomislav of Yugoslavia). Once recovered, Alexandra reconciled again with Peter II and the couple returned to live in the French capital in 1967. But, as before, the reconciliation was temporary and soon Peter II returned to live permanently in the United States while Alexandra settled in her mother's residence.
## Last years.
Peter II died on 3 November 1970 in Denver, United States, during an attempted liver transplant. Lacking resources, his remains were buried in Saint Sava Monastery Church at Libertyville, Illinois, making him the only European monarch so far to have been buried in America. Still unstable and impoverished, Alexandra did not attend the ceremony, which took | 22,833 |
269823 | Alexandra of Yugoslavia | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Alexandra%20of%20Yugoslavia | Alexandra of Yugoslavia
place in relative privacy.
Two years later, on 1 July 1972, Crown Prince Alexander of Yugoslavia (now Head of the House of Karađorđević), married at Villamanrique de la Condesa, near Seville, Spain, Princess Maria da Glória of Orléans-Braganza, daughter of Brazilian Imperial pretender Prince Pedro Gastão of Orléans-Braganza and first cousin of King Juan Carlos I of Spain. Too fragile emotionally, Alexandra did not attend the wedding of her son and it was her father's cousin Princess Olga of Greece (wife of Prince-Regent Paul of Yugoslavia), who escorted the groom to the altar.
One month later, on 7 August 1972, Alexandra's mother Princess Aspasia died. Now alone, she finally sold the "Garden | 22,834 |
269823 | Alexandra of Yugoslavia | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Alexandra%20of%20Yugoslavia | Alexandra of Yugoslavia
of Eden" in 1979 and returned to the United Kingdom because of her health problems. She died of cancer at Burgess Hill, West Sussex, on 30 January 1993.
The funeral of Alexandra was held in London, in the presence of her son, her three grandsons (Hereditary Prince Peter, Prince Philip and Prince Alexander) and several members of the Greek royal family, including the former King Constantine II and Queen Anne-Marie. Alexandra's remains were then buried in the Royal cemetery park at Tatoi, Greece, next to her mother.
On 26 May 2013, Alexandra's remains were transferred to Serbia for reburial in the crypt of the Royal Mausoleum at Oplenac. With her, the remains of her husband King Peter II, her | 22,835 |
269823 | Alexandra of Yugoslavia | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Alexandra%20of%20Yugoslavia | Alexandra of Yugoslavia
mother-in-law Queen Mother Maria and brother-in-law Prince Andrew were also reburied at the same time in an official ceremony which was attended by Serbian President Tomislav Nikolić and his government.

Jan Gunnar Solli
Jan Gunnar Solli (born 19 April 1981 in Arendal) is a Norwegian footballer.
He has played as a right back for the most of his career, but also plays defensive midfielder and right winger.
# Career.
## Norway.
Solli made his senior debut for Odd Grenland in the 2000 Tippeligaen season and made five appearances, all as a substitute, in his first season. In total, he played 54 league games for the club over three and a half seasons – and helped Odd reach the 2002 Norwegian Cup Final, where they were beaten 1–0 by Vålerenga. His play with Odd Grenland led to interest from various European clubs including Aston Villa, and AC Milan, with which he had a training stint.
Solli joined | 22,846 |

Rosenborg of Trondheim in the summer of 2003 and made four starts and ten substitute appearances in the second half of that season as the club won a 12th consecutive league title. During his first season with Rosenborg he scored his first-ever league goal against Viking on 23 August 2003, in his fifth full season as a professional footballer. He was also a regular in the ensuing European campaigns for Rosenborg and scored an important first-leg goal against Maccabi Haifa in the UEFA Champions League third qualifying round in August 2004. He also played an integral role in helping Rosenborg win the 2004 and 2006 league title.
On 16 March 2007, Solli signed a three-year deal with Brann. The transfer | 22,847 |
1804753 | Jan Gunnar Solli | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jan%20Gunnar%20Solli | Jan Gunnar Solli
fee was . Solli's first season for Brann was a huge success. In partnership with his former Rosenborg colleague Thorstein Helstad, he became an integral part of Brann's title winning squad, and earned a spot on Norway's national squad. During the 2009 season Solli's play with Brann once again led to him receiving interest from other European sides which included German Bundesliga side 1. FC Köln.
## United States.
Solli signed with Major League Soccer club New York Red Bulls on 24 January 2011. He made his official debut for New York on 19 March 2011, in the Red Bulls' 2011 MLS season opener, a 1–0 victory over Seattle Sounders FC. Solli made 33 official appearances in his first season for | 22,848 |

New York, playing primarily at right back. In his second season with the club, he scored his first goal for New York on 25 June 2012 in a 3-2 win over D.C. United. On 15 November 2012 New York announced that it would not offer Solli a contract extension, thus ending his tenure with the club.
## Return to Europe.
Solli signed with Vålerenga of Norway in February 2013. In March 2014 he signed with Swedish side Hammarby.
## International.
Solli made his debut for Norway in a friendly game against Scotland on 20 August 2003 and scored his only international goal in a 3–2 win against Russia on 28 April 2004. He was capped 40 times. Solli also represented Norway at Under-18 and U-21 level.

1804762 | Maltesers | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Maltesers | Maltesers
Maltesers
Maltesers are a British confectionery product manufactured by Mars, Incorporated. Maltesers consist of a spheroid malted milk centre surrounded by milk chocolate. Maltesers are sold in a variety of packaging, including plastic bags (ranging in size from small 'fun-size' upwards), larger cardboard boxes and tubes, and plastic buckets (ranging in size from medium to very large). They also have medium-sized "teasers" in Celebrations boxes. Maltesers are also one of the types of chocolate included in Mars's Revels assortment.
# History.
Maltesers were created by the American Forrest Mars, Sr. in England in 1936, and first sold in 1937. They were originally described as "energy balls" | 22,851 |
1804762 | Maltesers | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Maltesers | Maltesers
and aimed at slimming women.
The current Maltesers' slogan is ""The lighter way to enjoy chocolate"". Earlier slogans have included: ""The chocolates with the less fattening centre"", ""No ordinary chocolate"" and ""Nothing pleases like Maltesers"". The Australian version also contains the line: ""Made in Australia... ...exported to the world."" In the 1930s, advertisements claimed that the Maltesers malted milk centre is one-seventh as fattening as ordinary chocolate centres; this led marketers to claim it was beneficial for weight loss. In Australia, Mars signed a production deal with MacRobertson's in 1954, but then switched to Cadbury in 1963.
In 2011, the product gained Fairtrade accreditation | 22,852 |
1804762 | Maltesers | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Maltesers | Maltesers
in the UK and Ireland by sourcing all their cocoa and sugar under Fairtrade Terms.
In January 2017, Maltesers officially became available in the United States for the first time. The factory in Newmarket, Ontario, Canada produces the Maltesers for the North American market; it is expected the factory exports about 80 percent of its production to the United States.

In Roman mythology, Lua was a goddess to whom soldiers sacrificed captured weapons. She is sometimes referred to as "Lua Mater" or "Lua Saturni", the latter of which makes her a consort of Saturn. It may be that Lua was merely an alternative name for Ops. | 22,859 |
1804754 | Busby Babes | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Busby%20Babes | Busby Babes
Busby Babes
The "Busby Babes" is the name given to the group of footballers, recruited and trained by Manchester United F.C. chief scout Joe Armstrong and assistant manager Jimmy Murphy, who progressed from the club's youth team into the first team under the management of the eponymous Matt Busby from the late 1940s and throughout the 1950s.
# History.
The Busby Babes were notable not only for being young and gifted, but for being developed by the club itself, rather than bought from other clubs, which was customary then. The term, coined by "Manchester Evening News" journalist Tom Jackson in 1951, usually refers to the players who won the league championship in seasons 1955–56 and 1956–57 | 22,860 |
1804754 | Busby Babes | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Busby%20Babes | Busby Babes
with an average age of 21 and 22 respectively.
Eight of the players – Roger Byrne (28), Eddie Colman (21), Mark Jones (24), Duncan Edwards (21), Billy Whelan (22), Tommy Taylor (26), David Pegg (22) and Geoff Bent (25) – died in or as a result of the Munich air disaster in February 1958, while Jackie Blanchflower (24 at the time of the crash) and senior player Johnny Berry (31 at the time of the crash) were injured to such an extent that they never played again. Berry was the senior player in the team by the time of the crash, having been signed from Birmingham City in 1951, by which time he was already 25.
A few of the players in the team at this time had actually been bought from other clubs, | 22,861 |
1804754 | Busby Babes | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Busby%20Babes | Busby Babes
although one of them, goalkeeper Ray Wood, was just 18 when he joined United from Darlington in 1949. Wood's successor in the first team, Harry Gregg, signed in December 1957, was signed from Doncaster Rovers as the world's most expensive goalkeeper at the time for £23,500. Tommy Taylor had been one of the most expensive players in English footballer when United paid £29,999 for him as a 21-year-old from Barnsley in 1953, whereas Johnny Berry had already been at the club for two years when Taylor arrived.
Other notable "Busby Babes" include full-back Bill Foulkes, wingers Kenny Morgans and Albert Scanlon, forward Dennis Viollet, wing-half Wilf McGuinness (who later became manager of Manchester | 22,862 |
1804754 | Busby Babes | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Busby%20Babes | Busby Babes
United) and forwards John Doherty and Colin Webster. McGuinness and Webster were not on the plane when it crashed at Munich, whereas Doherty had just been sold to Leicester City.
The last remaining player from the pre-Munich side, Bobby Charlton (20 at the time of the crash), retired from playing in 1975; though he had left Manchester United two years earlier, he had continued playing as player-manager of Preston North End. As a player, he set the all-time goalscoring record for Manchester United and England,which was later broken by another United player (Wayne Rooney) and his appearance record was unbroken for 35 years after his last game for United, while his England record was not broken | 22,863 |
1804754 | Busby Babes | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Busby%20Babes | Busby Babes
until 2015, by the same United player (Wayne Rooney) as he scored his 50th England goal. Bill Foulkes, who retired in 1970, had still been at the club when the European Cup was finally won in 1968.
Harry Gregg had left the club in the 1966–67 season, signing for Stoke City, who had signed Dennis Viollet from United five seasons earlier. Kenny Morgans had moved to Swansea City in 1961, having rarely played for United after the end of the 1957-58 season. Albert Scanlon was sold to Newcastle United in November 1960. Ray Wood had been sold to Huddersfield Town within a year of the Munich crash, having been unable to win back his place in the team from Harry Gregg, leaving Old Trafford around the | 22,864 |
1804754 | Busby Babes | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Busby%20Babes | Busby Babes
ield Town within a year of the Munich crash, having been unable to win back his place in the team from Harry Gregg, leaving Old Trafford around the same time as Colin Webster, who was sold to Swansea Town. Wilf McGuinness suffered a broken leg in a reserve match during the 1959-60 season and never returned to the first team, although he stayed with the club as a member of the coaching staff and spent 18 months as United's manager after the retirement of Sir Matt Busby in May 1969. Injury also ended the career of John Doherty, who played his last game for Leicester City less than a year after United sold him to the East Midlands club.

1804774 | Park golf | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Park%20golf | Park golf
Park golf
The founders of the sport wanted to keep it simple so that people of all ages could become parkers easily. A single ball and club are sufficient for a game of park golf. Courses are relatively short and the physical strain of the game is low. The cost of playing is also low and the rules are simple. For this reason, it is a good sport for children and families. Despite this, the majority of the 700,000 parkers continue to be of retirement age.
# Course.
A "round" of park golf is 9 holes. The International Park Golf Association has set upper limits on the length of park golf holes and courses. The maximum length for an individual hole is 100 meters. A 9-hole course is limited to 500 | 22,873 |
1804774 | Park golf | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Park%20golf | Park golf
meters or less. Because there is no lower limit, courses can be found in small corners of parks or in the fringe around parking lots.
# Equipment.
## Clubs.
It is played using a club similar in appearance to a standard golf driver with a thicker, shorter shaft. The head on a Park Golf club is rarely varied, but the length of stick can change according to the height of the Parker. The club is flat, and only the most skillful Parker can hit the ball in the air.
## Balls.
The durable plastic resin balls are bright-coloured so they can be easily distinguished from a distance. They come in many colours but are all 60 mm in diameter and less than 100 grams. Balls may be made of a single or multiple | 22,874 |
1804774 | Park golf | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Park%20golf | Park golf
components and individual manufactures' balls all perform slightly differently. It is not unusual to see players with several balls for use in different conditions.
## Ball carriers.
Although some people carry their balls in their hand between rounds or place it in their pockets, others invest in various ball-carrying devices. The most basic is a moulded length of stainless steel which is attached to the belt or shoelaces. High-end carriers resemble a leather fanny pack and can hold multiple balls, cellular phones, score cards and other personal items.
## Scorecard protector.
Most parkers invest in a scorecard holder to protect the scorecard from the elements. Even the most haphazard of | 22,875 |
1804774 | Park golf | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Park%20golf | Park golf
players have been known to spend 200 yen on a cheap version of this accessory. The better scorecard holders have a pencil attached.
# Rules.
Park golf uses terminology similar to golf, utilizing words such as par, bogey, eagle and double eagle. To formally play a game of Park Golf, two to four participants are crucial to form one group. Order is decided by drawing rods that are generally provided by the course management at the beginning of each course. Once initial shooting order is determined, the group decides which course to play on as most parks have 2-4 courses, one course being 9 holes. Multiple courses can be played. Holes can be shot in any order, as long as all holes are played eventually. | 22,876 |
1804774 | Park golf | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Park%20golf | Park golf
This occurs most commonly due to a quick group advancing on a slower group of park golfers.
During a tournament, rules are that the person to shoot the lowest number of strokes on one hole, goes first the following hole. The highest number of strokes results in going last. Thus, shooting order changes frequently and is something that must be paid attention to. During the game, if a player is having difficulty finishing a hole, rules state that a player may take eight as their score once they exceed this number of strokes and move on.
The playing field is marked by a green, semi-fairway, fairway, bunkers, rough, and out of bounds. Balls landing out of bounds are replaced to an area on the fairway | 22,877 |
1804774 | Park golf | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Park%20golf | Park golf
equal distance from the hole, the player taking two strokes for this mistake instead of playing from where the ball had landed. The player at the end of all accrued courses with the lowest score is the winner.
# Etiquette.
In Park Golf, etiquette is based around the principles of enjoyment of the game and enjoyment of nature. In the spirit of keeping the game light-hearted, it is quite acceptable for players to laugh at each other's bad shots. Players take care not to damage the greenery and smoking on all courses is forbidden.
## Stance.
Stance is the foundation upon which Park Golf shots are constructed. An address behind the ball is used to increase the loft of a shot. Likewise, a forward | 22,878 |
1804774 | Park golf | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Park%20golf | Park golf
stance will help keep the ball running along the ground. An open stance offers stability; a closed stance gives precision. This is a difficult choice for a parker and requires decisiveness and concentration.
# Tournaments.
There are regular tournaments, with scores as low as 96 for 4 rounds. One unexceptional competitor recently recorded a score of 22 for a round. Tournaments usually cost 1000 yen, which seems expensive, but on reflection is quite cheap when you consider that a box lunch is often included. The winner generally gets an envelope with a small amount of money, and the runners-up get boxes of tissues. Very often the courses are closed because people are having a tournament.

# Park golf trivia.
The Park Golf Association in Japan celebrates August 9 as 'Park Golf Day', in hopes of raising the profile of the game. In Japanese, 8 can be said as "pa" and 9 as "ku". If put together, it sounds like park.
The novel "A Flower Blooms in Poloshiri Park" was set in Poloshiri Highland Park Golf Course, Hokkaidō, Japan.
American wrestler Dick "The Destroyer" Beyer, who spent several years wrestling in Japan, imported the sport of park golf to the United States and opened the first park golf course in the country (in his native Akron, New York) in July 2013.

1804768 | Sørlandet Line | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sørlandet%20Line | Sørlandet Line
Sørlandet Line
The Sørlandet Line () is a railway line between Drammen (though this is connected to Oslo by means of the Drammen Line) via Kristiansand to Stavanger. The line is long between Oslo and Stavanger.
# History.
The railway was constructed in several phases, the first section being opened in 1871 and the last not opened until 1944. While there was a continual construction work from Oslo westward as far as Moi, the Jæren Line from Egersund to Stavanger in Western Norway was opened in 1878. Up to 1913 the name used on plans and for the completed sections was the Vestlandet Line ("The West Country Line").
The Sørlandet Line was completed by the German occupation force during World | 22,881 |
1804768 | Sørlandet Line | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sørlandet%20Line | Sørlandet Line
War II. It was opened for regular traffic on 1 May 1944. The line was an important communications link for transportation of troops, as well as war material. Long stretches of the Sørlandet Line railway are set away from the coast, instead of on the more densely populated coastline. One reason for this was to protect the line from invading forces, and also to prevent the line being bombarded by navy ships.
On 15 November 1950 the Hjuksebø train disaster killed 14 people in a collision between an express train and runaway freight cars. On 15 December 2019 operation of passenger servces will pass from Vy to Go-Ahead Norge.
# Subsections.
Among the stretches which make up the Sørland Line are:
- | 22,882 |
1804768 | Sørlandet Line | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sørlandet%20Line | Sørlandet Line
Oslo–Drammen is the Drammen Line, completed in 1872.
- Drammen–Kongsberg, opened in 1871.
- Kongsberg–Bø, opened in 1924.
- Lunde–Neslandsvatn (Kragerø), opened in 1927.
- Neslandsvatn–Nelaug (Arendal), opened in 1935.
- Nelaug–Kristiansand, opened in 1938.
- Kristiansand–Moi, opened in 1944.
- Moi (Flekkefjord)–Egersund, opened in 1904.
- Egersund–Stavanger is the Jæren Line, which was opened in 1878.
# Branch lines.
The Sørlandet Line has one operational branch line, the Arendal Line, which runs between Nelaug and Arendal. Another branch line, the Flekkefjord Line, from Sira to Flekkefjord, was once part of the main line. It was turned into a branch line upon completion of the Sørland | 22,883 |
1804768 | Sørlandet Line | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sørlandet%20Line | Sørlandet Line
Line in 1944, and was finally closed in 1990. Other branch lines which are now closed are the Numedal Line between Kongsberg and Rødberg (in Nore og Uvdal), the Setesdal Line and the Kragerø Line between Neslandsvatn and Kragerø.
Kristiansand Station is designed as a terminal station. Therefore, passenger-trains from Stavanger towards Oslo reverse direction when leaving Kristiansand. Freight trains use a direct connection between the eastern and western part of the line outside of Kristiansand, and does not have to change direction at Kristiansand station.
