Football fan hit by train

A BRITISH football fan who travelled to Belgium to watch his team play was killed when he was hit by a train, in an ‘unfortunate accident’.

At Ghent’s Sint­Pieters station on Thursday, April 13, the 57­year­old man was travelling back home following that night’s match, when he was involved in a fatal accident, according to a news source.

The unnamed West Ham supporter had just watched his team in a 1–1 draw against

Belgian side Ghent, at the KAA Stadium, before travelling back via the train station.

It was an important Europa Conference League fixture for David Moyes’ team, with ardent fans making their way across the channel to see the game.

Following the incident, he was rushed to hospital for emergency treatment but sadly was later pronounced dead.

Ghent’s Sint­Pieters investigators referred to it as an ‘un­ fortunate accident’. Train services were disrupted for several hours.

Betty Henderson KING CHARLES and Camilla have chosen a mouth­watering dish as the signature dish for their upcoming coronation ­ the ‘coronation quiche’! The pair hope the dish will be enjoyed at street parties on Saturday, May 6 to celebrate their big day.

Their regal recipe was published on Royal Family social media on Monday, April 17 and features spinach, broad beans, cheese, and tarragon, and can be served hot or cold.

The delectable dish is perfect for sharing, and suits different dietary requirements.

The King and Queen Con­ sort chose this dish because it’s not too complicated or costly to make, and can be adapted to different tastes. The recipe was created by royal chef, Mark Flanagan, who was even caught on video preparing the dish.

The dish was released as part of the Royal Family’s ‘Big Lunch’ initiative which is a chance for communities to come together and celebrate occasions. Camilla has been a patron of the initiative since 2013, and has attended Big Lunches across the UK and beyond.

This dish follows in the footsteps of other royal signature dishes.

FOLLOWING threats from radical animal rights activists, police arrested three people at the Grand National which was held on Saturday April 15.

The newly named Animal Rising group planned their ‘biggest action yet’ at the Grand National, vowing to ‘end horseracing’ reported a news source.

Well­briefed police arrested two women aged 33 and 25 and a man.

The 33­year­old unnamed London woman was arrested in Greater Manchester and charged with suspicion of conspiracy to cause a public nuisance in regard to the planned coordinated protests at Aintree.

Meanwhile at Aintree, a man and a 25­year­old woman from London were detained outside the racecourse also on suspicion of conspiracy to cause a public nuisance.

An Animal Rising, volunteer Dora Hargitai, 37, said, “I do believe we can have non­violence on both sides. The race has to stop. Today and forever.”
