At 10:03 Sir John is stood not 10 ft from where he was buried ! Delightful man, lovely poetry. Lives on while the world he described has almost entirely vanished.

Ivan Hart yes it's so sadly true England is not a happy place of beauty any more lost forever

Beaches and countryside still exist

@@zenbudhism Not for long; an audit is being done to see whether the countryside is racist. What's the betting that they conclude it is? Everything precious to us is, apparently, and must be "diversified."

"The quickest way to start a punch up between 2 literary scholars is to ask them what they think of the poetry of John Betjeman." Philip Larkin ( 1922 - 1985 ). I love Betjeman's ( 1906 - 1984 ) poetry! It is the poetry of a gentlemanly, romantically idyllic society! The poetry of sitting in the purple shade of the old oak trees on a summer's afternoon, while contented with a simpler and less fast paced, purer and more thoroughly contented life!

If someone sked Betjeman about being too English he would probably say "Yes thank goodness!"

What a stupid comment.

I have had so much pleasure listening to and reading his wonderful poetry. Sorely missed.

@anselman3156 5 лет назад

Quite poignant, the last scene, showing him at his burial place.

5.30 onwards...A throng of city bankers, MP's and Foreign Office Civil Servants...They paid their price for their complacency in 1914-but no more than my Grandfather, a Kentish farm labourer.
