Brilliant video. Such a funny man ❤️
Thank you for the view and for the Super Thanks......
Paul. At 3:29 what is that white mist passing from the middle then dashing off towards the left? U might have caught something 👻
@@GUNSTONbuiltonagraveyard007 I shaw that too
Sun flare on the lens my friend. Would love to have said otherwise.
Thank you everyone for watching this video, I appreciate it.....
Thank you for making it.Haven’t has much time of late to catch up with you but it’s always great when I do.You are a natural at this job brilliant.
I’ve literally just watched snatch with him in it. What are you doing here it’s a free country isn’t it. Well it isn’t a free shop is it? So f….. off 😅😅😅
Thanks Paul..look forward to your videos .
Thank you for video , r I p Mike , From Ireland☘️🇮🇪
Hi Paul. Robert england aka Freddie Krueger's surname is spelt Englund lol
Met Mike once after he did a gig at Butlins. He was very friendly and had plenty of time for his fans. RIP Mike.
Lucky you, I once went to see roger moore in an evening with, he came out on stage he just stood there, he never even said hello. He was such a disappointment they say never meet your heroes I was sorry I did.
@@philipbooth7779 - That’s a shame…..I think some would be equally disappointed when meeting favourite celebs or as you say heroes as in reality that aren’t what they seem. Meeting Sir Ranulph Fiennes after he gave a presentation was a highlight for me……what a geezer !
I watched roger moore since I was at school from the Saint through to the bond film's, he talked to someone on stage some one who worked with him. I bought two books in the foyer before I went in. I gave them to the local charity shop I had no interest reading them and anytime one of his films come on I turn over I can't stand him these days.
@@philipbooth7779 Valerie Jones Hertfordshire Mike Reed auntie lived next door he loved my mums bread pudding he was such a lovely man heaven hold a very person
@@alanjones9742 that's nice wish I had met him.
Was shocked to hear he had a full medical just two days before he passed, and 67 is no age! Yes, thanks for all the funny memories..you always had us in stitches bless you. Rest in Peace Mike and Thankyou for being you 🙏💐💕🙋♀️ Godbless you and your family 👏🏻👏🏻
My mum's best friend had a full medical, she was 75, doctor said she was in great health, died of a heart attack two weeks later
We all loved this old cockney legend
Oh my days Runaround makes me feel old 🤣🤣
Hello how’re you doing
Me too sue , my fave as a kid , wanted to go on it lol …would’ve been on the reds x
Was on holiday in Spain with family, I was 18 or 19 and we were in a bar having a few drinks and I could hear this gravelly voice coming from the bar next door. Mike was doing an impromptu stand up and we joined. It was hilarious and he nicked my fags. Brilliant guy!
Something eerie about locating a celebrity's gravestone tucked away in some unknown corner, yet so touching. It's a great way for many ordinary folk to pay their respects to the legend that was Mike Reid. Thank you.
My friend met him at an opening of something or other. She went up to Mike and said " Mike, my hero" and he said, "No, my darlin, you are my hero". Can I just say, you are good looking guy
He was a lovely man. His grandson went to school with my son. And Mike Reid would go to local event at his grandson school and help raising money for the school charity. He would chat to the all parent and children. Lovely lovely bloke.
Aww I liked Mike Reid he was clever and funny 😁 thank you for taking us to pay our respects x
When I was a compère back in the 70’s, Mike Reid would often be the celebrity for the evening, it was my job to see to all his needs, drinks, whatever he wanted, but mainly because I rolled my own cigarettes, he’s say give us a roll up son, about 5 times on each occasion he appeared at the club, a great friendly fella sadly gone too soon. RIP Mike 🙏🙏
Runaround was my fave as a kid ! Always wanted to be on it lol ….would’ve wanted to be red 🤣 used to love watching the comedians with my mum and dad as we ate a Chinese every week … rip Mike, class actor and gent xx
Loved Mike Reid, what a big character and funny man. Sad he's gone. Thank you so much for showing his resting place. Bless Mike Reid 💜
I Remember passing paths with Mike at elstree studios. I held the door open for him and he said thanks. 😊 that was it. Rip Mike
For some reason I found this to be quite touching…..He was such a loud vibrant character but sadly no longer with us…..goes to show life goes by in a blink of an eye. Love ur presenting style keep it up 👍
Loved his acting, thought he was brilliant, the character he played in EastEnders was made for him.
I remember Mike Reid in ‘The Comedians’ in the 1970’s. I grew up in London’s East End and Mike was a ‘real geezer’ on the telly. He was so funny in the way he told his jokes as there were people around who spoke just like him. Fond memories…….
I love Mike Reid his sense of humour was infectious , sleep well mate
My aunt's brother managed the palladium years ago..he would bring a few famous people to our village .Never forget the shop owners face when he took Paul Melba to meet her .Met mike nice bloke ..sad day when he left us .. who could for get the spinning bow tie... Days when jokes were funny👌
I met Mike Reid outside his accounts office in Southern Spain. I was too much a fan so I just give him a nod. He nodded back. Sadly he died a few weeks later.
I absolutely love Mike Reid, fantastic comic, an every man's man.Bless ya Mike RIP.
Legend. Gone too soon in my opinion. Made EastEnders a joy to watch. Rickeeeeeey 😂. RIP, Mike.
Mike Reid and Pam St Clement had some iconic scenes in EastEnders. R.I.P. Mike Reid.
Thank you for these videos, Some but not all of my friends think I'm morbid because I like graveyards, Some people are scared, but I'm not when I go to my local cemetery to visit my gran and aunties soon as I enter I'm completely relaxed and feel it very peaceful.
Totally agree ..it's not the dead we have too worry about ..👍👍👍
I’m currently watching classic eastenders on UKTV drama, he seemed such a lovely man and I would imagine his character represented the man himself bless him x
‘I think I found it’. The scene with Frank and the spinning dicky bow…classic
In the buff…
Mostly remember mike reid from runaround in the early 80s and eastenders when i used to watch it, good memories
Despite the knocks it gets, there are some stunning places in Essex. Especially North Essex. And some of the churches and church yards are beautiful.
I never knew Mike Reid was also a stuntman. Versatile man then.
Another great video and beautiful scenery and peacocks. Cheers Paul. 👍😃
Always liked Mike.....remembered sadly as he passed same day as my father..💔
Ha, another gent I was a support act for some 40 years ago in Norwich; he came across as a nice guy.
Eastenders legend but will always remember him as Doug the head in Snatch. Can’t wait for this one.
Yeah me too loved the character Doug and his lines in Snatch,
It ain’t a free shop
Now F##K Off 🤣
Loved Runaround, and his character Frank in EastEnders - the episode with the bow tie was a classic. Rest in peace Mike Reid.💖
Hello how’re you doing
I remember runaround loved it
@@angeladorsett1159 hello how you feeling today, it’s nice meeting with you Angela, is where are you texting from?
I loved his stand up stuff. Had em all on VHS.
God rest his smutty soul 😢
Loved this actor he was a legend I will never forget him miss you 😢 but will never forget you. Rest in peace ❤️ xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Absolutely loved Mike on the kids show Runaround.
Mike Ried was an outstanding actor and comedian , show host. RIP 🙏😇
Didn't realise he was only 67 no age. RIP Mike. 🙏 great videos Paul 😁
Missed the live but great video.Eastenders was much better back then.This bloke was so funny and no one said anything bad about him after meeting him.
Reminder set 👌🏼 Mike Reid is a legend 👌🏼 one of the best comedians ever 💯 they don't make um how they used to, he could bring a punch line like nobody else 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Not a legend
@stevecool1967 💯👌🏼
@@stuartphillips822 He could act, though and his role in 'Minder' was really funny.
@@lisacrane3143 Probably not but he gets kudos for turning his life around. Although, imagine someone presenting a kids show who spent time in prison for being a violent gangster.
@@stuartphillips822 although I think Chubby Brown and Bernard Manning both extremely funny guys Mike Reid had a way of bringing a punch line no other comedian could 🤣😂🤣
Good old Mike. His stand up was just so cleaver. Even now it makes me laugh. I loved him in Eastenders. Thanks for this. It’s nice to remember the ones we have lost. ❤️❤️❤️
Hi muddy how’s you doing?
A lovely memory of a very talented man . RIP Mike .
He told a joke doing standup years ago that literally name me cry with laughter.
I listen to his full gigs regularly. His memory for jokes was incredible.
He was great in Snatch to. One of my favorite films. Missed by so many.
Please can you share that particular joke with us all?
Watched Mike Reid LIVE at Butlins in Bognor Regis Way Back in the Summer of 1987 🌞 . Mike Reid Was Very Down 2 Earth & Loved 2 Talk About Family 💞 . Bless U Mike Reid 💖 🏴 .
Stunning cemetery…. So peaceful 🙏🏻
Rip, Mike Reid, I remembered run around when I was little it was a good for kids.
Runaround as a kid fabulous Rip 🙏 Mike best wishes 2 all from Durham England 🇬🇧
What a great person and a good actor ❤️❤️❤️
Bless him. My late Grandad knew him back in the early 70's (before my time ☺)
Growing up Mike was a friend of my dad's. I met him a few times as a kid, and liked him instantly, lets face it everybody did! He just had a way about him. A proper old school gent but with an edge and a twinkle in his eye. Thanks for paying homage to him as he deserves to be remembered. Big respect to you my man. 🧡
Thanks for your comment, I love to hear peoples accounts of the graves I visit. Yeh he looked like a right laugh, would have loved to have met him. 🙏
Fab video 👍 god bless him he was a fantastic man. Your bring back childhood memories for me lol, it’s amazing at how much you remember once you start talking about our GB well known past on, folk ( easier word folk) puts everybody in one box. For me anyway as I’m binge watching atm. mx
Mike Reid great british entertainer and actor.Sadly missed please R.I.P.❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍
My dad was always mistaken for Mike Reid on the phone, perfect sound alike dad coming from London and dad was always asked" are you Mike Reid?" X
Same here my Dad too, proper Londoner also .RIP Dad and Mike Reid .
Lovely sentiments written on the headstone. He was well loved.
Thanks 😊 for vlog brilliant 👏 work fantastic think last time seen him was in eastenders
Mike Reid had two heart attacks two weeks before his death,before that a dr in Marbella give him a clean bit bit of health then the heart attacks struck two weeks later he died bless him. He was a heavy smoker maybe that caused the heart attacks or he’d still be here bless him. A lesson to smokers,quit while u can before it’s to late
My mum used to have the comedians on.. while she was dolling up to go out 🤣🤣🤣 Didn't even drink... just went to find my dad..🤣If he wasn't down the Pit he was in the pub. That's how it was in the old days. Happy memories of Run Round 😊👌 God bless you Mike 🙏 ❤ RIP
Excellent comedian , I remember runaround and seeing him in EastEnders too , thanks Paul
Although I stopped watching the soaps years ago, I loved him as Frank Butcher and that spinning bow tie is a classic scene, still makes me laugh. Love the tshirt, was only thinking of that film yesterday. My little girl was listening to a different rendition of The Wheels On The Bus and I swear to God it sounded exactly like that shopping centre music that's played in that film 😳 🤣 abit of a random story there for you, sorry 🤣🤣
I’ve never heard a bad word said against Mike. One of the funniest.
I met Mike at butlins 1986. He did a funny gig there for the season. Larger than life man.
Thanks Paul.I had forgotten how funny Mike Reid was
he hasnt died he passed Home To Heaven Amen xxxxxxx so he is still so very funny
I once saw him buying a TV in a comet store in Braintree . He was a lot taller than you think in real life .
It’s just the little things in life. My brother met Sydney James in Peterborough while buying his school uniform. He was lovely. He’s 60 now.
Top job mate used to love mike
Brilliant 👍,Mike was my favourite character on EE by a country mile,he was a legend,and his character was so believable,after he was written out,I pretty much stopped watching it,plus he was such a funny man,I remember getting sky tv back in the late 90's and around this time he also did a golf show,Mike Reid under-par (I think) and his genuine warmth, personality and humility shone through,you could just tell he was a lovely guy.Good video 👍👍
I met Mike after a gig in wellingborough he was a friend of my uncle who was a singer
Mike Read was a legend. Leave it aaat paaat! ! Lol. Who remembers the Triffic chocolate and nuggate bars? I loved them. Rip Mike you were "Trific " ××
I remember this one of Mike's: "So I goes rarned to me mum and dad's house, walked in and says to me dad ' Cor, your ceilings are a bit high aint they dad?' So me dad says "Yeah, yer mum wanted 2 rooms knocking into one!" Very funny man!
First time I saw Mike was at a Stag Night. What a comedian we came out from that show with our stomachs aching from laughing. Brilliant Comedian. RIP Mike.

Tom, Belgium.
The brilliant Mike Reid.
Thanks again Paul for these brilliant clips you show. 😀 👍
Looking forward to more in the future.
WHAT A GREAT MAN ? LOVED HIM IN SNATCH AWESOME ..RIP MR REID ....
Mike Reid was funny 🤣 in EastEnders as Frank Butcher when he used to shout out Ricky!
I just LOVE your channel so much. It’s sooo refreshing from all the others that are doing the same old stuff and talking about themselves and what they have/have been gifted. Instead you do a tribute to someone else and you honour their memory beautifully! Thank you. Mike Reid is a legend and will not be forgotten! Thanks for bringing this to us! Xxxxx
PS the edits with the Peacock is genius 🫶🏼😂
Thank you, glad you continue to enjoy them 🙏
@@UnusualThings1 You have such a gentle and respectful way with these and it’s incredibly powerful. The way you didn’t read his children’s tribute was so kind. Sorry to sound so emphatic! It’s in case no one ever tells you - I just want to tell you it shines through and you’re doing an amazing job. X
Wow!
Forgot all about Runaround, used to love that as a young kid.
