I was about to say when did Gene die and no matter how many times I hear about him everytime i hear George Michael in any of these grave things every time it is like a hot poker stuck straight in my heart and in Oxfordshire got shaky hands before we eve got to Highgate especially when one of the churches looked like the one next to his home that he died in Goring on Thames the house is called Mill Cottage the village is Goring its on the Thames River it was a beautiful place still is but without him it is just a house now
It will always be his home his sanctuary i HOPE THEY DO NOT MAKE A PUBLIC PLACE OF IT AS SOME FANS WANT He treasured his privacy sorry for the caps typing too fast George is an emotional subject for me
Very very true and so tragic. ❤️. I just want to help those in situations where alcohol and pills seem like the only answer. We need to love each other and take care of each other ❤️❤️❤️
@@TerminalFailSafe Yeah, and they were called heroes last year, but if they refuse taking the jab for very good reasons-are getting fired from their jobs. People in government are hypocrites.
And so do I find it fascinating as well. But I don't particularly want a ha ha ha life partner for gods sake. I'd prefer a friend say, or just someone to laugh and hang with, and to enjoy each others company!!
I remember watching BennyHill Show when I was 8-9 years old, in the early 80’s while living in Saint Louis. Missouri...always sneaking up late to watch his shows, lol
Wow, what a video! How often can you watch 45 minutes and be heartbroken it’s over? Credit to the fans in Ireland and England who helped make this possible.
The Misunderstood Assassin It’s how you appreciate art. You know it when you see it, love to experience and miss it when it’s gone. Or we could just be spoilt rotten. Could go either way.
Diana Dors was also married to actor/game show host and “Hogan’s Hero”, Richard Dawson, but I don’t know if he was Diana’s 1st or 2nd husband. (I think he was her first).
Gsthe video of me 🤣😅🤪🤣 for the video 😂🤣🤣🤣😅 tv 🤣😅 CVT you are a very good job on your foot in the video I was born in the video of the night and I was like 😅🤣🤣🤣😅 fr 😂😅 gtg to be blown away
You should take a look at the necropolis in Glasgow. Scotland houses the dead in style. The Victorian gothic hospital is across the road and houses a cemetery of its own. So if u are a patient no matter which window you look out of you see graves.It's the best medicine, you want home fast
God... The section on Douglas Adams got me so choked up💖💖💖💖 Douglas Adams and his works have personally been a source of many happy memories for me, as my father and I really bonded over a mutual love of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. He was such a fantastic writer who's unique style can't ever be matched. So long Douglas and thanks for all the fish💖🐟
@@RobertHenry-ie7kd Sadly most british graveyards are in immense disrepair, the one where i live (which is just a small village one with no famous people) was in such a bad way when i was a kid that some of the people who live here banded together one day to clean it all up (cut the grass, give the gravestones a clean stuff like that) and they went back and did it the next year with more people joining and now over a decade later its yearly tradition to go and clean the graveyard so much that most shops shut down for the day so people can help
Karoline Smail Agreed, Alistair Simm is the epitome of Scrooge. The Scott version was very good, but his attempt at a middle class English accent spoiled it for me. It seems male American actors have a problem with English accents , unlike the females such as Meryl Streep , Renee Zellweger. and Gillian Anderson. Donald Sutherland as Mr Bennett in Pride and Prejudice is another example of good acting but poor diction.
The grave of Amy Winehouse comes at the very end. It is worth the wait! It is fitting that her onyx and pink grave stone stands out from all the others. In life, she stood out. Boy, did she stand out! R. I. P., Amy. You will ALWAYS be loved and missed.
Benny Hill visited Charlie Chaplin's home and was shown around by his son. In Chaplin's library was all of Benny Hill's shows. Hill recounted that story many times with a tear in his eye. Turns out the Chaplin (the hero of Hill) was a big fan.
I love Amy Winehouse💕, such a unique voice and such a young age to pass away at. She was & still is amazing. Me and my mother cried the day she died and we both cried whilst watching her Documentary Movie 'Amy', watching her go from a beautiful young woman to a mess mentally and physically was truly heartbreaking💔
Thanks to Arthur for submitting my video he did a fantastic narration as he did to all videos that were submitted all who contributed should take a bow I can't take all the credit as my 13 year old daughter evie did all the filming to all who viewed a big thank you
Almost had a heart attack when I saw 47 minutes. You simply out did yourself with this video. So worth the wait, so many famous people mentioned. Thank you to all who provided video and of course Mr Dark for a tremendous job again.
I'm so glad y'all Robin Gibb he's my absolute favorite, and one fact is that building you see across the street is his beautiful historical home the Prebendal where his family is currently living.
I'm a Grave Digger in the UK and love my job. Not just bury the dead but also exhume from time to time. Can/does make for a very interesting job i find!! We look after 24 Cemeteries for both burials and the maintenance side of things and all in picturesque locations
One of Roald Dahl's greatest legacies is that he was the husband of actress Patrica Neal and he nursed her back to health after her serious stroke--he taught her to walk and talk again and she was able to resume her career because of his commitment to her when she needed him most.
In Knoxville TN the Ft Sanders regional hospital has a brain trauma recovery ward named for Patricia Neal and originally based off the care Dahl gave her.
@@ColumbiaQT2001 yes, for just bringing her back to some kind of normal life. But he treated her mean emotionally. Cheating, lying, the whole thing. No woman deserves that.
This was fascinating, exploring England and all their history. I love the Ebenezer Scrooge headstone and am so glad that they kept it. And seeing Boris Karloff memorial just brought back memories of the frightening "monster"! Good times.
It boggles my mind on how many very influential people came from England, or have migrated to England. So historical. I am astounded. Especially seeing the graves of Stoker and William Penn. I wish I can give this video more than just a like!
From what I have read about Thomas Andrews, he was a kind, hard working man who was very well liked. If more people were kind like him this world would be a much better place.
I love every version there is, but for me the definitive version is the one featuring Alistair Sim and made in 1951. I’ve loved it since childhood and watch it every Christmas. He was such a fine actor.
Very appreciative to the Viewer who took the Vid of William Penn. As a Born Quaker, This was truly 1 of the best that I've seen. The church I currently attend in North Carolina just turned 246 years old today.
Great video with some personal memories. My father's memorial service was held at St.Paul's in Covent Garden in 2011 which is known as the Actors' Church. He was a stage, film, television and radio actor enjoying screen time with Richard Burton, Dustin Hoffman, John Gielgud, Diana Rigg and many more (T.P. McKenna 1929-2011). Also, my late brother, Kilian McKenna was cremated at Golders Green in 2014. Nice to see both these locations covered in such good detail.
I’m so glad you have Robin Gibb’s grave site included.Also Andy’s memorial.Thankyou.They were born to be a musical phenomenon,alongside their brothers Barry and Maurice.Andy had signed up,to join the group,as the fourth Bee Gee,on their next tour,but died,before it could happen.
I am so thrilled to see that George Formby is in this episode!!! Thank you for putting this video in and a big thank you to Sadie and Leigh for filming his resting place!!!
Thanks to all those British and Irish fans of the series and contributors to this episode.It turns out one of the best .Thanks to Arthur’s professional presentation as well.
I can’t tell you how much enjoyment I’ve had watching these videos of UK star cemeteries. It’s been so lovely taking a trip down memory lane. Thank you 🙏🏻⭐️☮️
A M A Z I N G!! Am British but learnt so much about celebrities I've known as performers. How beautiful are our British and Irish churchyards. So green and individual. Absolutely LOVED this video.
Yes, England!!!!! We've got amazing graves here!!!!! History is our thing. Love sharon 💜 xx. Please do more from United Kingdom. I'm from beautiful Shrewsbury xxx
Sharon Carter I know, huh? I’ve been shamelessly asking for a special episode of the sarcophagus’ of the royals, and the powerful. I live in the US, and it’s on my bucket list, but🤷♀️. And history, you have so MUCH of it! I’m jealous😉.
Oh ENGLAND YES-Churchill Elizabeth 1 and 2, Truly I wish we had lost the Revolution. Yes I would love more from England. Field Marshal Montgomery would be nice also.
Oh I forgot my hero of all is Churchill. He certainly knew the value of history. I have often wondered if the English devalue history as. Most Americans do. I wish everyday that I had been born in Scotland or ENGLAND. I would fit in there so much better.
Met Benny hill countless times walking through portswood Southampton always smiling sometimes he could pass for a tramp because of his crappy dress sense,he always carried plastic carrier bags,but he was and still is my comic hero,he was a comical genius RIP Benny Hill and god bless
Likewise, I too had the honour of meeting Benny Hill whilst riding the London Underground. Very humble person. R.I.P Mr Hill, ‘twas a pleasure meeting you albeit brief.
I can't thank you enough for the reference to the Titanic victims. Touched my heart. I wrote a book on the Titanic and spent a long time researching Thomas Andrews. Thank you!!
Another amazing video, and what a impressive list of tributes -- Florence Nightingale, Arthur Conan Doyle, Stu Sutcliffe, Anne Bronte, and one of my all time favorite comediennes Benny Hill plus many more, love all your work. Thank you for all this.
So, it was nearly 03:10 here in the UK and I was just about to go to bed.....It's now 4am! Thank you to you Arthur and to everyone who contributed to this epic episode. ❤️
This video was wonderful! Seeing all those famous graves of people I have admired was touching. I would love to go to England for the pure unbelievable history of the country. Thumbs up!
AMY!!😢😢😢 I didn't discover your music until after your passing and when I realized how amazing your voice and songs are, I was instantly more devastated that I'd never get to hear anything new. Your songs never get old to me though. Rest in Peace❤❤❤
Boris Karloff, Grammy Award Winner for Best Spoken Word (1966) How the Grinch Stole Christmas ~ Benny Hill potrayed the toymaker in Chitty, Chitty, Bang, Bang (1968)
Holy crap i had no idea that the toy maker was Benny Hill. Chitty chitty bang bang is one of my favorite dick van dyke films. Thats an interesting bit of trivia. Thank you for sharing.
“They tried to make me go to rehab and I said no no no no” Amy Whinehouse favorite song of mine R.I.P baby girl NOBODY!!!! does graveyard tours Like you long time fan
Love it! Thank you to all who submitted these wonderful memorials! And to Arthur for putting it together and sharing with the rest of us! Stayed up late last night to watch and then I re-watched it today! Can't wait for the next one!
It’s amazing that you’ve been all over the country and even Europe to visit these graves! Thank you so much for your documentation of all this wonderful history
Beyond excellent and thanks to everyone that contributed to this video. One correction on Vivien Leigh, the film was "Fire Over England" not "London" and is an good film. I can not thank you enough, it is a wonderous journey.
I take it nobody saw the memorial next to Michael Redgrave’s. it was for Jack Hawkins. A GREAT actor. Starred in The Cruel Sea, Zulu, Lawrence of Arabia and Waterloo
I saw Kins... to the left of Michael Redgrave and Jack Ha... to the right of Peter O'Toole. But then every plaque must be dedicated to a known actor as it is the Actors Church.
When you announced that you were going to try this experiment of having viewers submit their own videos of local cemeteries, I really didn't think it was going to work. But it's been just fabulous! I don't know why visiting these graveyards is so entertaining, but it certainly is! Thank you so much for doing this for us!
Being from Uk it's quite cute hearing an American accent stumble over English place names made me smile. Berkshire is actually pronounced as Barkshire. I mean it in a nice way, We have some weird way of pronouncing some places.
At my church, (which one Sunday fell on the anniversary of Titanic's sinking), we sung "Nearer, My God, To Thee", which actually made me cry hearing it for the first time with lyrics.
Wow, just Wow!!! Everyone has said everything I wanted to say about how wonderful this video was!! I was thinking just how much time and effort is put into making these videos for us. From going through probably hundreds of videos, picking out ones he thinks we would be interested in, finding information on each person, finding songs, pictures, editing all of it and then getting it it here to us. That has to take a long time. That is dedication people!! Thank You, Arthur, for all of your hard work!! And Thanks to everyone that has done all of the superb videos from around the world!!!
Hello I really love your tours of famous people in the graveyards I never realised that it could be so interesting,Just one item Richard Beckinsale had two daughters from two marriages one daughter born- Samantha Beckinsale - Kate's half-sister. Samantha Jane Beckinsale is Kate's older half-sister, who was born in 1966.Kathrin Romary Beckinsale 26 july 1973 Chiswick,borough of Hounslow ,London England Residence Los Angeles,California ,Kate's Mother was Judy Loe. Samantha the daughter of Richard and his first wife Margaret Bradley, she appeared in the likes of London's Burning as Firefighter Kate Stevens, and as Lesley in the sitcom Shelley from 1989 until 1992.But these are great documentary's.Very interesting and must take a lot of work and time to prepare. ...
It cannot be a coincidence that it's already Star Wars Day in my time zone and I'm watching a video featuring Alec Guiness' graveyard. May the 4th be with you all.
Yes, I did know the news. Chewie is one of my favorite Star Wars characters, and Peter's passing still affected me emotionally. But he's one with the Force now and I hope he'd be reunited with the Princess, R2, Admiral Ackbar, and so many Star Wars actors that had passed away. May the Force be with them, always.
@@dandynoble19 He is also with Sir Christopher Lee(Count Dooku) and Peter Cushing(Grand Moff Tarkin) Also it's nice to know that Christopher ,Bela Lugosi and Bram Stoker are together.
Stanley Wheeler Wow, you didn't know, did you? "May the 4th be with you" is a play of the "May the Force be with you", used to celebrate Star Wars Day in May 4.
George Formby’s grave is shared with his father George Formby Sr., himself a major music hall star. It was originally the father’s grave and George Jr., was buried with him.
Hats off to the composer! The music is absolutely PRICELESS and PERFECT! also the narration, and writing are incredibly well done! I love everything about your videos! Everything else similar to yours are not even in the same league.
