" David Beckham and Posh Sell Beckingham Palace to Insurance Man
David and Victoria Beckham have sold the Hertfordshire mansion their kids called home to insurance tycoon Neil Utley for ￡11 million. Utley Cheap Nike Air Force 1 For Sale , chairman of the Hastings Insurance Group, was banned from working in the Lloyds market for two years recently after admitting ""detrimental conduct"" at a tribunal.


The Beckhams bought the property – dubbed ""Beckingham Palace"" – soon after their 1999 wedding. Their sons Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz were brought up there until the family relocated to Spain and then Los Angeles when David transferred to Real Madrid then LA Galaxy. The Beckhams retained the property and returned briefly after David's football career ended last year.


A former children's home, Beckingham Palace has seven bedrooms Nike Air Force 1 For Sale Clearance , a gym, a professionally maintained football pitch, snooker room and ""Capability Brown""-style maze, along with an indoor swimming pool. It also contains a second house known as ""Mini-Beckingham Palace"".


The Beckhams sold the mansion to Utley to help fund their purchase of a ￡40 million property in London's Kensington. Family friend Gordon Ramsey is believed to have been asked to design the five-star kitchen in the new property. Beckham and Ramsey are also opening the Union Café restaurant in Borough.


New owner Neil Utley is named at 462 on the Sunday Times rich list (2012). A keen amateur guitarist Nike Air Force 1 Mid For Sale , Utley owns a record label and supports up-and-coming bands. He also owns a golf course, yacht and Harley-Davidson. Utley transformed the ailing Hastings group, becoming majority shareholder and selling it to Goldman Sachs, making a reported profit of ￡135 million. In 2006 he helped sell Equity Insurance Group Nike Air Force 1 High For Sale , receiving a personal total of ￡13 million.


Last year Utley had to pay ￡130,000 fine when a tribunal ruled he had failed to take reasonable steps to ensure sufficient financial systems and controls over personal injury claims. Whether the injury Beckham received from a flying boot at the end of his Manchester United career was covered by personal injury insurance is unclear.


David Beckham will appear in an Only Fools and Horses spoof along with David Jason and Nicholas Lyndhurst as part of this year's Sport Relief on Friday 21 March.

LONDON, Sept. 14 (Xinhua) -- The U.S. will be Britain's steadfast ally as it leaves the European Union (EU), Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said in London Thursday.


Tillerson held a series of talks throughout Thursday which included a meeting with British Prime Minister Theresa May.


The meetings concluded with a briefing by Tillerson alongside British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson at Lancaster House in London.


Also taking part in the day's meetings were representatives from France Nike Air Force 1 Low For Sale , Italy, the United Arab Emirates and Egypt.


Their discussions focused on the Middle East, particularly the situations in Iran and Libya as well as the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK). Johnson and Tillerson also discussed the impact Hurricane Irma had had on the United States as well as the Caribbean region.


Tillerson described Britain as a reliable friend and said the U.S. would stand by Britain during what he described as the unique challenges of Brexit.


"We will stand by our ally as Brexit continues to take shape," said Tillerson.


Johnson said Libya was the front line in a common struggle against terrorism and illegal migration Nike Air Force 1 Kids For Sale , adding "we all share a vital interest in that country's stability."


The situation in DPRK, which had defied the world by testing a nuclear device and firing ballistic missiles, was also discussed during the meetings, according to Johnson.


Tillerson said he had discussed with May the threat posed by Iran in destabilizing the region as well as the situation in Syria once the fight against the Islamic State (IS) is concluded.

NAIROBI, Sep. 14 (Xinhua) -- Beatrice Oloo and Jenifer Wanjiru have sustained their friendship since childhood and both experienced abject poverty while growing up in Kibera, the largest slum in Kenya's capital Nike Air Force 1 Womens For Sale , Nairobi.


However, a month ago, their two-decade-old friendship almost came to a sudden end after the results of the highly contested Kenyan presidential polls were announced.


The two bosom friends, like millions of other Kenyans who took part in the elections Nike Air Force 1 Shoes For Sale , differed on the results announced by the country's electoral body.


Nevertheless, they have put that unfortunate history behind them and are now preaching against tribalism in the slum that is always listed as a post-poll violence hot spot.


Oloo and Wanjiru are both in their mid 30s and are not leaving anything to chance ahead of Kenya's repeat presidential polls on Oct. 17.


They are using food, the most unifying element, to preach peace especially between Kikuyu and Luo communities where the incumbent President Uhuru Kenyatta and his opposition rival Nike Air Force 1 For Sale , Raila Odinga hails from respectively.


"I still vividly remember the horrific scenes that followed the announcement of presidential results in 2007. I and Wanjiru were going on with our usual business of selling clothes at a nearby market when a friend of mine called and told me to help Wanjiru hide as things were not good," Oloo said.


"I was fearing the same could have happened last month after the opposition disputed the polls but we thank God, things weren't as bad as they w.
