About 30km southwest of London, the commuter town of Woking happens to be home to western Europe s largest cemetery. Its size isn t its only accolade; Brookwood cemetery has also been the resting place of some of the world s prominent thinkers, creators, activists and royalty.
They include Edward the Martyr, who briefly ruled the country in the 10th century and whose remains were moved to Brookwood in 1984; John Singer Sargent, the American portrait artist who painted several US presidents; and, for a time, Dodi El-Fayed, the entrepreneur who died in a car crash alongside Princess Diana.

Whanganui Chronicle

Alexander Allison farmed at Letham, about 11 kilometres south of Whanganui. His dairy operation was not paying, so he bought a pair of ostriches from South Africa to start a new enterprise. The birds arrived in Whanganui in 1904.
The Letham ostriches were not farmed for meat or eggs, but to produce ostrich feathers for fashionable hats, cloaks and dresses.
