For many years in Swiss Cottage in London there stood a very large department store called John Barnes up until the late 70s.I was booked to do a gig on the first floor to entertain the staff.The party took place because the store was closing down and they were celebrating it's history and who should walk in,but ROY KINNEAR.He was making a personal appearance.What a charming man.I only met him once and here we are over 40 years later and I still remember that day.
That is one stunning memorial to the Lancaster family. Amazing. Loved Roy Kinnear, he was a funny man, also an excellent actor. Died much too soon.
I used to know him he was a lovely man . We used to see him walking with his children in East sheen . So sad when he passed away. I see his grave when I visit my parents who are also in that same cemetery.
I like Roy very funny man well liked.
THANKYOU PAUL FOR THESE LOVELY MEMORIES OF THE STARS THAT YOU ARE SHOWING US THEIR GRAVES I WISH THEY WERE STILL ALIVE . A BIG THANKYOU PAUL.

Roy Kinnear appeared regularly as one of Terry Wogan's co-hosts on earlier editions of 'Children In Need' back in the 1980s.
Also, relating to his untimely death whilst filming, I read once that he really wasn't comfortable riding horses and didn't want to do the scene on horseback. Such a tragic accident.
Roy was a loveable character actor and is greatly missed.
Of course I'm old enough to remember him in 'That Was The Week That Was'. And the first movie I remember watching him in was The Beatles 'Help'
Lovely man, as an actor he worked with the best of the best ,great guy 👊🏻🕊❤
I once got invited to go on stage alongside Roy Kinnear in a panto at the New Wimbledon Theatre. It was Christmas 1981.
So I'm not the only one who loved/misses Roy Kinnear. It was such a shock when I heard he'd passed away. Rip Roy.
I just can not imagine someone not liking Roy Kinnear.
Rest in peace, sir.
Pantomime faces on his grave. Roy was brilliant R.I.P. thanks for sharing.
Roy also made an appearance in one episode of Minder in the year he died, 1988. The episode was called 'It's a Sorry Lorry Morrie' and the character was Fat Charlie !
Such a lovely man and funny funny actor..lives in my heart from my childhood days..Great days
George William Lancaster was a mining engineer ,who made his fortune in the coal industry . The sculpture of this amazing grave was Sydney Marsh.
That's correct my friend 👌
Very interesting. That cemetery is so far from any coal mines.
@@Finglesham George William Lancaster from Wigan in Lancashire was a successful mining engineer and colliery owner with interests in the Welsh and Kent coalfields.
was'nt the sculpture called the angel of death?
@@barryporter7555 Yes it was. 👍
I met him in the Summer of 88 just before he travelled out to Spain. He was signing autographs at the Surrey County Show. I was just a kid and totally in awe. He was so friendly and really sweet to all the children that wanted to meet him. Was devastated when I heard he died a month or 2 later. Have kept that autograph as a prized possession ever since.
I met Roy and Wilfred Bramble when they were filming a Children's Film Foundation film The High Rise Donkey, in my home town of Windsor, Roy was very happy to chat to us kids between takes, Wilfred Bramble put up with us and reverted to his Steptoe character calling us "perishing kids , clear off!" with tongue-in-cheek.
Yes,I certainly remember the great Roy Kinnear,very funny man and great actor. God bless you Roy,R.I.P.
Thank you Paul - I had the pleasure of serving him in the West End in the late 70's. He was polite and unassuming, a real gentleman.
I remember Roy very well, brilliant actor. I thought he was about my age. I was born the following year to Roy.
Roy Kinnear - a comedy genius. Loved the part he played called "Gerry" in George and Mildred and who can forget THE PLANK with Eric Sykes.
@Ken Dodd's Tickling Stick Er... Roy Kinnear wasn't in The Plank, was he?
Remember it well x
He wasn’t in the 1967 version or the 1979 version of The Plank
Thanks for confirming that.
Most people globally will probably remember him as Mr. Salt in the 1971 version of "Willy Wonka". For me, dumb henchman Bulk from one of my fav cartoons "SuperTed". Had a huge library to his name already by the time of his sudden death, and was *just* taken too soon. 😢
I remember him in 1971 classic willy wonka great film.👍🙏
I absolutely loved Roy Kinnear. He was such a hoot in George and Mildred. 😁
The mask - I call the Theatre Mask. 🎭
THANK YOU FOR SHOWING THIS
ROY KINNEAR WAS A WONDERFUL COMIC ACTOR
LOVED WATCHING HIM IN MOST THINGS
HE WAS A LOVELY SOUL BLESS 🥀
R I P

Loved him as an actor. Thank you for sharing.
I remember the accident very well. Roy should never have been on that horse. A very funny guy. thanks for sharing
Thanks Roy for all the good films
My father in law is in this cemetery, Fulton Mckays grave is also in there, just behind the chapel, he played Mackay in Porridge

Oh heck. I remember him dying, and thinking he was quite old when he died, because he seemed to have been around for quite a while. I've just realised he was my age!! 😧
I'm 68 in London, next week Louise and have had 2 hours in Hospital since 1960 when I had my tonsils out but we lost an old work colleague, Aged 68 from the group of us in Late 1970;'s/1980's and in ringing round we now know we have lost 2 more, one aged 66 and another Guy who made films for The BBC aged just 57 so you never know...
He was an amazing actor and I loved him in Help!. He was perfect as the bumbling assistant. Rory is a great actor too.
I saw him in the play A Man for All Seasons with Charlton Heston at the Savoy in 1986. I think he was playing a ferry man or something. Great actor. His comic timing brought the house down
Roy was more than a good actor, he was an expert communicator. He travelled through the screen and connected, truthfully, with his audience. All I Need is a Miracle. That is such a spectacular grave. Gone, but never forgotten. Nuts!
I have seen many famous people in London over the years and had the odd conversation with a few but I had the pleasure of meeting Roy when I was 10 years old as at the time Roy was filming The London Connection if I remember the film right. He spent about a hr during a filming break talking to me and my friends bought us all a ice cream and seemed like a real lovely guy so will always have fond memories of that time and the enjoyment he gave me over the years doing what he did best.
I used to see Roy most days pushing his baby in her pram in Roehampton he always passed the time of day with you wonderful man
I met Roy in 1981 when he was filming a play in Prestwich Clough Manchester. It was called " We had some Happy Hours" and it's only been broadcast once. He was very friendly and signed autographs.
Brilliant Roy kinner I remember him as well from Herbie goes to more carlo.
He was alongside fellow English actor Bernard Fox in 1977.
"Keep em coming Paul" Great work
i met him years ago he was a lovely man. i was in hospital with his disabled daughter in the 70's rip roy he was also in the movie the boys in blue with cannon and ball :) he was also in high rise donkey with wilfred bramble. rip also to his daughter.
"Ear dad" Dick Emery Show in the 70s, skinhead dad. Classic. Nice find .
The wonderful Roy was such a household name on TV when I was a kid growing up in the 70’s. So many TV stuff and I loved him in Man About The House and George and Mildred to name but 2 . Also TWTWTW which was so ICONIC
BUT
For me of ALL the many films he was cast in THE HILL is at the top of my list
Why because I think Roy’s character was just Awesome and he played a blinder and it was Sean’s best film outside of playing bond and all the other cast were right for each role
Also because of the ‘stories ‘ my late father told me about his time in National Service from September 52 to September 54
🏴🏴🏴🏴🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Roy was a national treasure, RIP Roy kinnear. 💐🌹
my dad was born in 1934 and still alive. dad probable met Roy through his journalist days my dad has had a fascinating life and met incredible people. love him to bits. Thankyou for remembering these special people.
I remember him on the Dick Emery Show and lots of other things during the 70’s and 80’s. Very talented 😊
One of the best films i have watched with Roy was The Hill with Sean Connery he played such a good part. Nice to see his son doing well as an actor.
Loved him in Charlie and the chocolate factory, super actor
@@joanbishop9247 he was a great actor, felt he never got the recognition he deserved
He was a hoot in that. Strictly non woke production
Ian Hendry was in The Hill.
Beautiful graveyard, my husbands grand parents are buried in East Sheen, fantastic place to walk round.
The faces are called Comedy/Tragedy. I remember him. Very funny. Classic.
Remember Roy when hi was in a episode of the Sweeney . Great actor and gentlemen always made us laugh as well ❤️
The Theatre Royal Newcastle has a bar named after him, obviously made an impression on the staff there, when he has been acting at this theatre, from what I learned he was a lovely man, and a pleasure to be around, no airs or graces, R.I.P., Roy.
Roy Kinnear he was fantastic.
Amazing headstone and so graceful. I have seen many large headstones but not all as easy on the eye. Another individual who gave us great entertainment. Rest in peace Sir.
Roy Kinnear was a legend loved watching his programmes and films
I remember watching the Mike & The Mechanics music video, “All I Need Is A Miracle”. Roy Kinnear’s comedic timing was absolutely great! Aloha from Florida 🌺🤙🏼
I was gutted when roy passed on, he was brilliant
Yes, taken way to soon. Such a great actor.

How old was Roy? Paul, when he passed on
( Sorry didn’t read the message’s..
54.. That’s young, however I believe we all have our cards marked, for when we leave our vessels ( bodies )
Although it’s not the end, because we don’t die, it’s on to our next journey of the soul.
Many people believe it’s either heaven or hell. That’s just fear tactics from religions. Through deep meditation, I taught myself to travel the astral realms, this is where our soul temporarily leaves the body, but we’re still alive because of the cord that is attached to all of us.
Through deep meditation, breathing techniques, I found out we can do things, that were never taught in any schools ( indoctrination centers )..
The controllers don’t want us to know how powerful we all are..
Heaven and hell are just vibrational frequencies.
Higher vibrational frequency is activation of our higher selves.
Hell is the lower vibrational frequency, and that is the lower frequency where our bodies are in illnesses and diseases.
If everyone knew how to activate their higher selves ( activation of our pineal gland) 3rd 👁, you unlock your gifts
Just seeing him made me laugh. His son is a fine actor too.
He also left us a fantastic joke....
Shhhhhh.
Walls have ears, and Roy Kinear.
He was a great actor bless him 🙏 ❤ xxx 💕 ❤ 💙 xxx you do a great job xx
Roy was one of my favourite actors and came from Wigan just up the road. A really funny man.
Loved Roy Kinnear. He was also great in The Dick Emery Show.
Cracking actor roy sadly missed thanks for sharing paul.
RK seen him in so many things , remember him in 2 Minder episodes , a Sweeney , and the film “ The Hill “ with Sean Connery , versatile actor .
What a tragedy 🎭 that Roy Kinnear was only 54 years of age when he died..... I remember him in the “Dick Emery Show.” He was always in the Father and son sketch. Kinnear the Father, Emery the Son. At the end of the sketch, the “son” would always say: “Dad I think I got it wrong again!!” It became a catch phrase.
You don't look old enough to remember George and Mildred!
Loved Roy Kinnear, I remember him in Quincys quest many moons ago.
Great video.👍👍
Thank you, I’m 50 😊
🥲 I'm so moved by this. Thanks for sharing. R.I.P. 🙏
Thank you for visiting the resting place of my grandparents ❤ May & Pat Dignan, I always smile when I see Roy kinears headstone 🪦 😀 at the entrance 🙏
Paul Roy was also in the film Melody alongside mark Lester & jack wild he plays melody's dad wonderful film still watching today
Lovely tribute Paul and like you thought Roy Kinnear was a lovely guy. He always put a smile on your face with his understated and brilliant comedy.
RIP Mr Kinnear you are sadly missed by everyone.
Roy was really comical back in the day. Remember watching him as a kid
Roy Kinnear..top actor..he was in bless this house too....Yr channel is quality..
What a beautiful setting. What a beautiful cemetery and by modern day standards, well kept the tombstone simplistic to the point, but done with class.
I loved Roy. He had wonderful facial expressions!
Yet another great video Paul. Roy was a great guy. Shocking that he was that young when he died. Please keep doing the visits, they are so well done. You are so respectful.
I certainly remember the Musketeers film he was in and the horse falling that was kept in the film, that was partly completed at the time. Its obvious the bits thats not Roy that were added and really sad too. May he rest in peace.
The memoial to William Lancaster is for a member of a northern family who made their money in coal mines. The stunning sculpture is by Sydney March, who, together with his six brothers and sister, also created the Canadian National Memorial in Ottawa.
My partner & I will visit wgen we can. He always put a smile on my face when I was a young child in the 70s. I like the cheeky/Lazy type of character he played in the likes of George & Mildred. Such a likeable person.
Nice video well told roy Kinnear so sad another fine actor who died to young such a shame RIP roy
This is very interesting and informative
Roy Kinnear a actor so much sadly missed
I had the pleasure of meeting him in 1987. My friend Barbara Assoon also an actress ( her first role was in Georgie Girl) went to RADA at the same time as Roy. Barbara lived in Trinidad & on one of her visits she arranged to meet up with him and I went as well. We had tea at the Dorchester it’s a memory that will live with me. Roy was a true gent
I used travel up to Waterloo on same train from Barnes when he was around locally not away filming. He used wear bright turquoise shoes. . . Carole (again).

RIP Roy gone but always remembered.
Loved Roy Kinnear he was in my favourite band The Beatles Help film and I love Hammer Horror films and he was in Taste The Blood Of Dracula.

What a man what a actor rip roy kinnear🙏🙏🙏 ❤️❤️❤️
I didn't realise Roy was so young when he passed, only 54
George Lancaster made his money from coal mines. If googled he comes up with a picture of his grave in ‘find my grave’.
Videos are great and so interesting. Thank you.
Yeah i did the same comes straight up.
You beat me too it Gill.😄👍
Roy was a great actor.

Hi Paul great video I met Roy a very nice man and really friendly...Richmond cemetery is a really interesting place it's spit in two...you have to go out though the side gate walk up the hill to old part of cemetery there loads interesting people in the old part it backs on to Richmond Park.
Roy kinnear was a fantastic actor
Remember him from Taste the blood of Dracula as I had all the Hammer films growing up. Just subbed to your channel.
Tragic end. From what it says, he didn't want to do horse-riding, but the production company wouldn't hire a stunt double (to save money).
Great comedy actor who brought personality to every role he took on.
Had great parts in 'the Avengers) - with Steed & Mrs Peel. Also in an ep of 'Ripping Yarns' - with Michael Palin, in which Roy played a German Camp Comendant. Good actor!
He was also in Eric Sykes' "Rhubarb Rhubarb" - great comedic actor, sadly missed
Lovely man really good funny actor. God bless him ❤
Another good Video. Thank you.
Great actor and very funny
Roy was a great actor and so interesting.Achieved so much. He was so hardworking too. Thank you so very much. Kindest regards.

Came across your channel recently and love it! I absolutely adored Roy Kanier in Willy Wonka's chocolate factory. I could watch that film over and over! And have! Thank you for sharing this. Love your channel ❤
I remember him in late seventies early eighties British show "cowboys" playing a man who runs a construction company and three of his not so bright workers.That was such a funny but underrated show.R.I.P Roy, you were one of the best comedic actors ever.
He opened our school fete in sunbury on thames , a great comedy actor
I saw him on stage at the Savoy with Charlton Heston in "A man for all seasons". Also, the man who did Oliver Reed's funeral in Ireland did my mother's. Reed was in the film where Kinear died.
Thanks again Paul , a sad loss of a good actor , accidents do happen !
