Billy Fury's Grave - Famous Graves 

My late Brother Bob worked on the buses in Great Yarmouth in the late 1960's and Billy Fury amongst other singers were appearing there doing summer seasons and didn't earn a great deal. So many of them eat in the same cafés as the bus crews. Bob was a big fan of Billy's and often chatted to him. He was really just like one of the lads. Bob told me one of the most popular conversations was 'Crumpet' and looking at them walking past the café giving them marks from 1 to 10.

Visited his grave in the late 80s with a rockabilly mate on the anniversary of Billy’s death. While there with other fans his mum arrived…..she was a lovely lady and very moved to see people had remembered her dear son……a fond memory indeed to a talented artist.

Billy Fury was my idol in my teens in the 1960’s I was heart broken when he died rip Billy xxxxx

Billy fury top man & musician, there is a statue in Liverpool popular music and known to be a Gentleman As his record would say he's halfway to paradise with both music and styles. Hes now in paradise RIP Sir thank-you for the music

I love billy fury I bought a album of him yrs ago in his gold suite his grave looks beautiful with all the little ornaments of birds and owls. I remember reading he said he wud rather spend time with his birds than go out partying in clubs. I love all his songs. He said as a child he missed so much school and found it hard to make friends because he was in and out of hospital with his rheumatic fever as a child. He also admitted he was very shy. And people used to think he was being funny and awkward because he didn't want to communicate with people and all because he was a terribly shy guy. I read he finally met his idol elvis presley and watched him on the set of a film and stayed with elvis all day and never said one word to him because of his severe shyness. And apparently elvis said to someone on set this guy ain't said one word to me all day. Billy fury said on stage his shyness didn't exist it was only when he was off stage in everyday life. This guy was a bird lover the feathered kind. When I have seen him interviewed, he seemed a quite spoken, gentle natured, shy, kind , loving and caring.❤ not a big-headed, arrogant, cocky attitude from his head to his feet. This guy was beautiful inside and out, sooo chilled, sooo ,relaxed and at ease no matter who he talked to. A very, attractive, handsome, beautiful young man , what a looker, ❤ who died way too young. Heaven must have been missing a angel 😇 💔 that day because God only ever takes the best ❤❤❤❤❤😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

My mum loved Billy he was so gorgeous we have visited his grave several times, I'm a born and bread South londoner but we often go to Liverpool and visit Billy's statue in the Dock side,,we always take a rose in respect for Billy and also my darling mum, God bless them both 😢🎉❤✝️🇬🇧

The best British rock n roll artist by far

Hi Paul, thank you for posting this video. My brother was in a children’s hospital in the 60’s and Billy Fury, Marty Wilde and Eden Kane came to visit the children. My mum said what a lovely guy Billy was. All three of those artists were class guys to take time to visit children in hospital. RIP Billy. ❤

I was introduced to Billy’s parents in Liverpool shortly after his passing. They spoke with such gentle pride of their beloved son. It was a great privilege to have met them. God bless!

RIP BF -- he was a favorite of my mum's as I remember when I was growing up. Cheers ❤😂❤.

My late brother was a bus driver in Great Yarmouth in the 1960's. He told me about Billy Fury, Marty Wild and others that were doing summer seaside gigs weren't on big money and used the same Cafes as the bus crews. Bob my brother often shared jokes, conversations (usually about Crumpet) and even their Cigarettes. They were just a bunch of really down to earth guys. He said

Aww , I didn't realize he was so young when he passed away. So young and full of life , Rest in Peace Billy .

My mum loved Billy Fury, I was brought up listening to all his music ❤

I can still remember my sister having his picture on her bedroom door. I to loved his music 🎶 It's hard to believe he would be 82 now, Another great singer gone to soon , Thank you for the story about Billy.

Hi Paul, i’m a community carer in Liverpool. I had the pleasure of looking after his mum, Sarah, in her final years. Immensely proud of him, and his brother Albie. She explained how an illness while he was young, as you’ve stated, weakened his heart. Fantastic video as always Paul 😀

I have never seen a more celebrity grave so lovely.

My mam was a massive fan, i remember the day he died and she cried bless. Great artist. Cheers

I saw and met him in the 60's when he came to Hanley. He was such a lovely person, quiet and softly spoken. I have followed him ever since. God bless and keep him in his care. XX

RIP 🎸🎸🎤 BILLY , I WAS AT THE GRAVE ON MY 72th Birthday! Aberdeen to London 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Elvis was also 42 when he passed, Billy Fury i will always remember

Once again an excellent post. I knew Billy's Mum Jean. She used to visit his grave every weekend by train . She was a lovely woman. A true lady and so very proud of Billy. Thankyou so very much. X

Beautiful grave billy was absolutely Great singer Went far to soon R.I.P.❤

I learned about Billy a few years ago. He was an amazing singer, I love Wondrous Place, Halfway to Paradise, and Nothing Shaking but the Leaves on the Trees.

Billy was a fantastic singer so sadly missed thank you ❤️👍

Saw Billy at Granada Walthamstow, I believe it was. A long time ago. I bought his records as soon as they were released, played them so much, I wore them out. A sad day indeed when he passed away. Must admit I shed a tear or two. R. I. P Billy. I will never forget you and your music ❤

Thank you Paul. I was a teenager in the 60's and loved Billy Fury and his records, especially Halfway to Paradise. RIP Billy, you went too soon!

He was a talented singer loved him.

Thank's Billy was a great artist another idol we really never had, but we have still got Cliff, R.I.P Billy 💔🥀!!!.

One of the best British singers I’ve heard in my lifetime. So sad he had to leave us so early in his life. I still sing his hits like ‘half way to paradise’, I’ll never find another you at parties. Rest in peace dear Billy 🙏

I have visited Billy's grave many times. He was the UK's greatest Rock n Roll/ Ballad singer. So humble yet so talented. Sadly missed by all of his fans. If you pause at 10.57 you will see a large stone. This is where Annie Lennox baby is buried..(Just noticed someone else has already mentioned this)

My mum and dad saw Billy fury in Hull in the 70.s still play his music today beautifully maintained grave thanks Paul x

❤❤Thank you so much for showing the grave of Billy fury. It is sad that he died at such a early age. May he rest in peace. ❤❤

Yes, I saw Billy at Portsmouth Guildhall, probably 1963/4. We swooned my friend and I. He was unique, he was ours. So sorry to lose him so young. I think all too often the best pass young, certainly in this case. So very talented! Bless you Billy and Thank you. ❤❤❤

My mum loved Billy Fury, she saw him in the 60’s. Said he was an amazing performer. Sad he passed so young. Thanks for another great vid Paul 👍🏻

I grew up in Mill Hill. My Dad is buried just down the road at Hendon Crem. He passed aged 44. The good ones always get taken early. Seen Billy's grave many times. Cheers Paul.

I grew up with the music of Billy Fury. He was outstanding in his time. So sad he died so young. His grave is so well loooked after. Another informative and interesting video.

Half way to paradise was played for my dad at his funeral, growing up, he often played Billy's music so I was fortunate enough to absorb that amazing voice. All the best.

My parents loved Billy Fury, in thoughts of you were played at my dad's funeral. He was such a talented singer and left us way too young.

As a child of the 1940s I certainly remember his music very well. It was as good as anyone's at that time.. That is a wonderful cemetery and his grave is really well cared for. Great visit. Thanks.

Very interesting and respectful video, thanks Paul and what a beautifully kept resting place for the one and only Billy Fury 🙏❤️

My dad was a Billy Fury fan, I remember when I was little if I wasn't well my dad used to sit me on his knee and sing Half way to paradise to me even now I still listen to his music. So sad that he died so young he left way too soon. What a beautiful grave and still well looked after all these years later. Thank you Paul.

What a lovely grave.. RIP Billy🙏

Wow beautiful grave 😮 just shows how much they loved him and so many famous people don't have a grave.

Hi Paul, my dad was a big fan of Billy Fury I remember him playing all his songs on the record player bk in the early 70s 🤩 he was very handsome as well as talented 🎸 god be with you Billy Fury RIP 🙏🌹🕊️

Hi Paul, I’ve also visited Billy’s grave, as I live not far away from the cemetery, and I’ve also visited Billy’s statue at Liverpool Docks. He was a great part of my growing up. However, whilst at the cemetery, you could have also visited the grave of Annie Lennox’s son, who is urged approx 6 graves away from Billy’s, going to the right of Billy’s. 🙏🏼

Thank you ,Paul. Billy Fury was one of my late Mums favourite singers and I remember his records playing on her younger brother s Dansette .Billy fequented the LLanybyther Horse sales here in West Wales when he had his farm here 💚

I worshipped Billy .i grew up singing his song on cariok .I was born 1950 am now nearly 73 .sorry elvis Billy was the real king love ❤️ you till i die x

Awesome mate cheers what a legend he's music is awesome he's not half way to paradise he's in paradise

One of my mums favorites .. I still love his music today ❤❤

He died far too young, and I'm sure he made it all the way to Paradise. He had a lovely voice

Taken too soon, Damn. Great singer was Billy. A natural born entertainer, Great voice. Respect to the one(s) who maintain Billy's gravesite its great to see he has not been forgotten. 🎶🎸🎙 Thanx Paul another great clip and info.👍

My dad was a huge Billy Fury Fan the song its only make Belive Is his favourite song by Billy

I met billy at a elvis convention at camber sands. His health was not the best then but always had time to chat. R.I.P. mr fury.🙏

" I intend to live forever.. or die trying " Great vlog as always Paul, really enjoyed this! & What an amazing gravestone eh? Definitely one of the best we've seen, so well kept after all these years as well 👍 so many talented musicians died young... Sadly.

I've got one of his albums. I was 14 when he passed so. Didn't really know much about him. I must have bought it about 10 years ago. It's a great album I love it! Your such a sweetheart Paul. Very respectful. I think your very handsome. If only I was 8 stone slimmer!!❤❤

What a beautiful resting place. Those blue stones look amazing.

My mum (Doris Egerton from The Dingle Liverpool) Grew up with Billy And Ringo, Gerry Marsden. They all grew up together and go in each others house singing and playing music 🤗

Billy was a brilliant artist and with a great concern for wildlife his number wondrous place is absolutely brilliant - have a listen Paul

Followed him..loved him but would never compare him to Elvis..he was different.. Met him backstage and he was quite quiet..but I was starstruck…❤️

An amazing talent lost so very early in his career may you be singing with the angels RIP 😢😢😢😢😢

Thank you for showing this, I always loved Billy his songs and voice were wonderful.

Aw thank you for visiting Billy's resting place. Although he was of my Mum's generation (she saw him sing live as a teenager) I consider him to be my favourite male singer. I was 11 when he passed away and I would discover his music at the age of 17. I have a padlock with my name on, which hangs not far from his statue in Liverpool. I really do appreciate you taking the time to visit him x

Very like Elvis alright and I no of his songs still to this day 😊👍love this one 😊❤️

Me and my family love Billy fury and always have a great music legend rest in peace Billy great video Paul as always 👍

My Mum was a great fan of Billy Fury, his music always reminds me of her. She passed away in 2002. Thank you for this video Paul.

Thanks Paul once again another fabulous person gone to soon loved half way to paradise he sang it epic he was the English elvis rip Billy 👏👏👍👍

My mum used to love Billy Fury. It's her Anniversary today. 40 years ago I lost her, so watching this video is like a tribute to her. Thanks Paul...xxxx

Fabulous video Paul. BIlly Fury's resting place is so well maintained. Your always so respectful to the dearly departed, makes me motionless, in a positive way 🙏💜🌹

Thank you so much for doing this one, Billy Fury was one of my favorite singers along with Eddie Cochran (who also died in the UK and plaque is in Bath I think). Billy Fury was a legend, much better than the Beatles in my opinion .... Great work Paul and thanks again. 😎😎😎😎😎

Hi Paul great visit again my late friend Keith hunt corresponded with Billy fury and myself and Keith were going to see him at the beck theatre Hayes middx and I was going to sing one song with Billy but he died before that could happen rip billy

Nicely done. The gravesite is beautifully located and preserved. Poignant to also see a moving 'Per Ardua Ad Astra' at 6.00, to an RAF Bomber Command pilot killed in action in 1942, the day before his 20th birthday. I was at Bill's last public performance in Northampton December 1982, only weeks before his passing .... RIP the superb Billy

Legendary singer lived such a short life Another great video has always Paul 👍

Loved his music, fabulous singer. What a lovley grave. Thanks Paul. Appreciate your efforts, well done!!

My dad would of loved this video as he was a massive fan thank you for doing this video respect to you.

I loved his music when he was around great singer and taken so young

Another great video , again an amazing talent gone way too soon. Love all the information you give us it's lovely to know their memories are not forgotton

Hello Paul, I remember Billy Fury well but not as well as I thought! I thought he was good and almost great, however I did not realize he had so many hits especially with his passing so young!! I have certainly learnt from your video and I will now look over his back catalogue. Thank you for your time and dedication, Yogi.

Not the UKS Elvis but just Billy Fury think he was the best thing to come out of Liverpool a great singer in his own right .

Saw Billy on the early 60s package shows in the UK and in 1970 when I spent a while talking to him after a show and again in 1974 but not to speak to .Sadly missed. Rog. P S Records .😢

A well maintained grave indeed. I am glad you made the comment about the possible reasons some famous people's graves are neglected. I have to say there has been one or two very famous and lovely people who have sad looking graves but as you say there will be a reason.

Wow.another icon died in London so young 😢 beautiful story ❤️ and all planed put before we come here .

Hi Paul,Billy Fury was a legend ,he was a bit before my time ,but he was great…Thankyou for another lovely video X💞

Billy Fury was one of my mum`s favourite singers so as a child he influenced my musical taste The Sound Of Fury rock and roll LP is one of the greatest British rock and roll albums of all time Although he was known for the ballads Billy could rock for sure My mum passed away last year and I would love to think that she is in heaven being entertained by Billy So pleased to see you visited Billy`s resting place Paul god bless you

First heard of Billy Fury when he was in the film "That'll Be The Day" playing the part of a singer in the band Stormy Tempest alongside drummer Keith Moon. Great film and what a voice too! #RIP Billy Fury 🖤

Hello Paul that's a beautiful headstone and little blue stones and little angels too!!! Rest in peace Billy fury

Halfway to paradise was played recently at friends funeral , thank you Paul

Respectfully done Paul, Billy Fury was a big favourite of my Mum. He was a talented guy and passed far too young. It was nice to see his grave so well maintained. May he R.I.P. 🙏

I only got to see Billy Fury sing live once but Oh what a handsome man, Elvis Presley is no comparison, Billy was a lovely person too and had such charisma as well as a lovely voice. An animal lover, gorgeous inside and out. Thanks for showing .

I can't help but notice just how perfect those hedges are cut. I've never seen anything like it. Looks fantastic. Great video, Paul!

How lovely to see a well looked after Grave credit to those who look after it. Great Video as usual 😊

My mum met him in our home town corn exchange in about 1960. She had a cup of tea with him because he was so nervous before the gig

Hello Paul, you make walking around a grave yard such a knowledgeable and interesting experience! I also liked the view of the commonwealth grave yard, which looks so tidy. Take care of yourself 😉
