John Peels Grave The Unique British Disc Jockey Celebrity Graves 

It's a Bird not a dragon. 🙂 The Liver bird is the symbol of Liverpool & Liverpool FC and located on the top of the Liver buildings. The Liver Bird has been a symbol of the city for over 800 years. RIP John.

@@pataleno thank you for putting people straight. Got a little annoyed when he said it was a dragon.

@@cemu1065 “Got a little annoyed when he said it was a dragon”! Is that all you have to say about the video?🤨 A Phoenix is a mythical bird from Greek mythology, often associated with fire hence maybe why some would think of it as a dragon.

It was a well researched video…lots of info we didn’t know…Thankyou for doing all of that….but shame on you for thinking the Liver bird was a flipping dragon! Lol ( I used to work for the Royal Liver, and still find fascination looking up at the four birds perched at each corner of the building) but you brought the tears back to my eyes…I didn’t think John had been gone so long! He was an amazing human being, kind, caring and a genuine chap. As well as a talented DJ. I hadn’t even given a thought to his breaking the mould by playing new unheard of punk etc, rather than the “comfortable “ familiar music we expected to hear, but introduced us to the Undertones ( and what an incredible gesture Flying over to Ireland to meet them at his own expense, then featuring their music! I can just imagine the shock he got and how very touched he must have felt when the band turned up at his door to present him with their personal gift and tribute. As I say, a truly genuine bloke. That choked me up again too as I mentally pictured the scene. He introduced us to Pink Floyd who I love, and doubt any other DJ at the time ( bar Pirate ships) would have had such courage…but aren’t we glad he did? He may have said he came last at school, but he was a leading light in his job. Just wish someone had put fresh flowers or a plant on his grave. You will NEVER,EVER be forgotten John…your passing at such a young age was tragic, and my heart goes out to his family and close friends. My one selfish regret is never having got to meet him personally! But I’m a big believer in the after life…there has to be more than just three score years and ten, and John was robbed of at least ten years! So I truly believe in heaven he is back enjoying himself Dj ing, and finally getting to meet all his music heroes..Hendrix,Elvis, and so many many more as well as being back with his parents,….believe it….there is no death..just the next chapter of another big adventure, so maybe THEN I may have the pleasure of meeting this wonderful man at last. Godbless you John…bet your still watching Liverpool play from where you are! Once a Liverpool supporter ALWAYS one! Thanks Beep Beep ( don’t know your name! Sorry! ) this was a beautiful churchyard for John,and if I’m that way, I will be sure to bring you some Red flowers for a Liverpool supporter, unless they change them yet again..used to be blue! Now I read their THIRD kit ( why?) is “dark atomic teal and Rio Teal” whatever those colours are. I think you would have stepped up and said something about the revolving door of kit change..poor kids try to keep up and support, bad enough high ticket costs without pestering hard up parents having to keep buying new kit to support as well….it’s not fair John in these football loving kids, of which you were always one…so if you have any sway from where you are, please have a word…they would have listened I’m sure. Rest easy…see you in the future. Love and light. Helen 🙋‍♀️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💕🦋🦋💐🥰 🎄🎅🙏🙏🙏xxx

@@pataleno You tell him pat paul liverpool

Hello TS, likewise my friend. It's nice to know you. Thank you for the great comment. It's really appreciated. Hope to see you in the future. Alan

Hello Thistle, that's it. I tried to find something which captures the person's hat that lived and this did. I think he will probably think it was one of his best presents ever. Great to hear from you and the comment was super. Alan

Thank you Donna. I'm so pleased you enjoy this show so much! You were a super fan 👍 Greathear from you

Hello Sally, nice to radio lovely comments again. Look after yourself. Alan

Hello blazing saddles, John. Was a little bit controversial but there is no disputing the fact that he had a fantastic following and help so many groups so it was a pleasure to do it. Thank you my friend. Alan

Hi Perditah that's very nice of you to be dedicated enough to watch them. I appreciate that. I haven't been on for a while but I will be coming back soon. I should watch out for you with your unusual name. Take care, Alan

I think that's totally true. Sheila, it was the perfect stone 👌

Great jockey

Super kind of you Louise.

@@MotorHomeBeepBeep Your Very Welcome xxx

Hi Liesl yes he wasn't everybody's cup of tea but he had a nice way on the radio. I love you little drawing motif for your profile. Take care, Alan

The big thank you to you Roger for taking the time Alan

Jude, They're big. Thank you too. It goes both ways. Alan

Amaan very sweet of you. Thank you, Alan

Thank you, Craig

Hello Wendy, yes, I've had a few that said that when you're not a massive fan, you miss them. Sometimes they've gone and you forget startly understandable. See you soon. It's great. Take care, Alan

Hello Karen, it's really great that you like my videos. Obviously we all like to be like but it's super sweet when you tell people at the end of the day. That's the aim of the game, isn't it so we can all reminis and enjoy and show our respects. Thank you ever so much Alan

Hello Tim, yeah I've seen the video where he's pretending to play the mandolin. He looked pretty embarrassed in that. I thought not a natural performer as a singer or musician. Anyway, see you soon mate. Alan

Sorry Sandra, I can't see anything. I think it's disappeared again...... Very kind of you to consider the cold weather. It is really bad at the moment. On the last one I was literally numb when I finished. See you soon. Alan

Thank you for the fantastic comments Graham. I don't think anybody knows to location of that one. Sorry about that. Alan

Hello Joan, the radio is very intimate it was perfect for him with his delivery. He wouldn't say anything unless he really meant it which came over and when you watch the documentaries the people that work with him were really bereft. I think that says it all. Thank you! Lovely to see you

Shannon, what a beautifully well animated reply. Thank you so much Alan

Thank you ever so much Paul but I already have that info but I appreciate you telling me.

Hello Geoff, I actually went to do Roy yesterday. I'm staying on the campsite 3 minutes away at the moment. It was a fabulous church. Nice to hear that his sons in the business but I don't know who you are in connection. But thank you for telling me that would have been great 👍 I appreciate the idea. I've done it though. It'll be online shortly. I'm filming quite a few cuz I'm going back up north at the moment starting tomorrow so I've got a backlog. See you, Alan

Hello Jacks Thank you for the great comment and for watching my videos. Don't worry about making any kind of going about anything. I'll read them all and I'm just pleased that you're enjoying them and it brings memories. See you again I hope Alan

Thank you Mike for telling me I know now

Exactly GC is late night show was the best. Thank you Alan

Ok David thank you for telling me. I have a look for the link myself. Cheers for that. Alan

Thank you, William

Hello Mark, yeah they were both A little bit like mavericks doing their own thing which was good. See you soon mate. Alan

Hello Jean briefly set up. Make it too boring. I was going to do a channel about old programs and where The actors are now etc. And it and introduce it with clips. But I went to see Sylvia Plath grave with my friend Richard and we filmed it just for fun and I certainly thought I'd prefer this. It's a one person focus and it allows us all to reminisce and pay respects and for me it allows me to travel to the location which is more interesting. So that's it really. I didn't think I'd like it so much in the beginning, but it grew more after the first month and then I love doing it. That out of the channels doing this of course I'm not particularly looked at them only after. I don't think you should try and emulate someone else, It's best just to do what you feel happy with and if other people like it great. If not..... not sure really ahah Thank you for the interest. I'll watch out for you. Alan

Super interesting! I'll check it out on RU-vid. Thank you so much of that! Sounds like one of those pinnacle moments

Hello Paul, I've just seen this. I'm so sorry I didn't reply. Thank you ever so much and I'm hoping you're having a good new year even though it's belated. All the best, Alan

@@MotorHomeBeepBeep Thanks alan

Hello mortuary artist, sorry I didn't reply earlier. I miss this one. You are correct with that 100% and thank you for subscribing. Alan

Hello Karin John was a bit Marmite you had a loved him or not. He did play a lot of weird music but that was his usp but not done for the fact it was just him. He did what he wanted and hopefully enough people enjoyed it and they did. Thank you, Alan

@@MotorHomeBeepBeep with so many liking him then, it just shows what he was doing worked. All credit to him 😊

Good idea!

Hello Mark, I read his is autobiography. It was really interesting. Maybe not always in the nice way. It was extremely alcoholic but it was very raw and true. One of the best I've ever read so I'd love to do him but I don't think he can find a location. I have another go. Thank you mate. Alan

I would love to but I don't think you can. Sorry Colin

Hello Dee super interesting. If had of known I probably would have gone to look from a distance. I won't want to invade their privacy. I bet John would have been pleased. She sold the stuff like you say. Keep the heating on Thank you for super interesting one Alan

@@MotorHomeBeepBeep If you type John Peel’s Peel Acres on RU-vid, you’ll see the video of the house and surrounding areas.

@@dee74raz 'Peel Acres' is the nickname that John gave the house, it's not it's official name . . . part of the building had to be reinforced with steel girders to support the weight of his record collection (which is worth more than the house!) 😀

Perfect comment Paul, you're always so precised and on the with you observations. See you again sooner up. Alan
