I ended up on stage with Danny during a pantomine he was in at the Bristol Hipodrome in the 1980s. I was one of about 4 or 5 kids picked from the audeince to go on stage and say our names, ages etc and then be given sweets and balloons. I was the littlest and he singled me out to stay on stage once the other kids had gone back to their seats and did some light hearted mickey taking and I remember him being so kind, asking if I was OK off microphone and bending down and holding my hand when I got a bit overwhelmed. I came off that stage barely able to walk under all the sweets so we gave them to the other children around where we were sitting. My mum says when we got home I told her he was a kind man and I would marry him when I got older (I was bout 4 or 5!!). Danny, thank you for a lovely childhood memory, I hope you are resting in well deserved peace xx
That’s lovely to hear 🙏
No words needed an amazing man entertainer and made his own way in life. He was also a veteran of WW2 and deserves respect for his service. Rest in peace, comrade 😢
"Dear Danny. What a pioneer too, along with... Dick Emery, Stanley Baxter & Les Dawson. Grew up with Dan. What a legend. RIP dear Dan.....Cheers Paul!"💋💄🕯️🕊️
That was so respectful and informative, and to see him buried with Mr Hanson was so unexpectedly beautiful.
He spent the last few years of his life on Southampton and was often see around. The first time I met him I walked into a very quiet club (The Mag) on a wet, cold January night in the late 90's. Danny was sat at the bar with the owner. For an hour or so there were just the four of us, he bought us bottles of champagne and entertained us to the point I was aching with laughter. Such a gentleman, very much deserves his place in the greats of entertainment. Thanks Paul
Hi Paul, can I just say thank you so much for paying respects, Danny la rue was my gt uncle! He was adopted when young and my grandma found him when younger a lot don’t know full story. I don’t know full story as my Nan died many years ago!! He was a true gent and was happy to find my mum and us as family xxxxx
How nice 👍🏻 amazing 🙏🏻👍🏻
Thank you Rachel, much appreciated. Always lovely to hear from relatives 🙏
@@UnusualThings1 your very welcome, am going to try find out from a cousin I have on my mums side and find out more of him. I have great memories and met him a few times he really was a humble gent. It was a honour to have him as a gt uncle and very proud of him and what he achieved xxx
@@wombal177jim thank you very much xxx
I meant to say the times I met him was when I was little, but from what I remember He was always lovely xx
Lots of beautiful head stones, Sat night loads of comedy on in the 70's and 80's Ain't half hot mum, Dads army, Danny La Rue R.I.P .
I had the pleasure of meeting Dan on his first tour to the Perth Concert Hall in Western Australia in the 70's. Following that meeting, it resulted in Dan and Jack, becoming very close friends with my husband and two children. We had the pleasure of seeing Dan and Jack many times, during our many trips to the UK. ie Blackpool, Nottingham, opening night of Hello Dolly in London. We stayed at Dan's, The Swan Inn in beautiful Streatley, and Waltham Hall. During a further tour of Australia, including Western Australia, Dan and Jack visited our home for lunch. We treasure our special friendship we had, to this day, October 2023. Life brought great sadness with the passing of Jack, Danny, my husband Peter, and at the age of 84 I am now in an Aged Care Facility. So many cherished and treasured memories from the years gone by. RIP darling Danny, our family loved you so very much and we were blessed to have your friendship. ❤❤
I remember my mum watching Danny when I was little. I remember having a struggle acknowledging that he was a man dressed up as a lady. When I grew up into my teens it used to fascinate me how he could put makeup on better than ever managed to do…I’m no better today+usually look like a clown when I attempt to get made up now. My mum loved him, as did I…he opened the door for Lily Savage…so he’s got a lot to be proud of…he had a very posh speaking voice as far as I remember, but he was fabulous!!! Rest In Peace Danny…hope you’re looking down+knowing how much you’ve done for the great drag queens who you opened the door for+how much you’re loved by many!!! Still loving your great videos, keep going young man, you’re doing a fantastic job!!! X❤️🙃
I remember him. My mum loved him and when I was growing up I remember him too. Very good entertainer
Danny was a groundbreaker for the Drag scene, as was our dear Paul O'Grady.
Both are missed beyond words, looking forward to this.
Thank you Paul
Hinge and Bracket were around before Larue I believe.
I watched the documentary on Danny recently . Very sad how he went from one of the biggest celebrities to loosing his fortune to two Canadian fraudsters
Do tell more?

I just did a Google search and found the doc right away and I'm a yank.
If I can do it so can you.
Thanks I advance for not substituting the 'y' in yank with a 'w'.
Hi Paul, a few requests please. Would you be able to visit Lionel Blair, Bob Monkhouse and Ronnie Corbett if they have final resting places? Miss them all. Thanks. Another great video by the way. 😊
" If any of you cry at my funeral, I'll never speak to you again.! "
Stan laurel....
Great as always Paul, Danny was ahead of his time for certain, imagine living or working in office or housing when completed looking over the grave site, of course many people already do that in built up area's... I live rural so rarely happens... I always like the way you add a little humour, even when the weather is poor, always upbeat! Cheers Paul 🍻
My Gran had a friend who owned a B&B in Scarborough. The high light of her year was going to see Danny when he was in town!
I remember watching him on a program called The Good old days, being cheeky and making us laugh,l miss him ❤
Loved Danny La Rue ... Great entertainer ...some amazing headstones there Paul ...Thanks for sharing
I once spoke to Danny on the phone when I was working at an estate events who were selling his house and he phoned up for an update. It was only a brief conversation but he was friendly and polite.
I remember seeing Danny in Pantomime years ago. Good entertainer he made us smile. Bless him❤
He was a wonderful performer. Utterly professional and had true star quality.
I met Danny when I saw him in cabaret doing one-man-shows in, I think, 1999. He was sweet, gracious and down to earth. Thank you for a respectful and courteous video showing us Danny's final resting place. He was so much more than a drag act: his impersonations as women were always done tastefully, and he never mocking or sexist whilst performing in a frock. I never knew his grave is in Kensal Rise. I think he’d indeed have had something to say about the building going up in the background lol.
What I loved about Danny LaRue was that he was really outrageous as a drag artist but during his performance he always made it clear that he was a male. He was warm, funny and intriguing. RIP, Danny.
As a child I saw Danny playing widow twanky in panto at the hippodrome in Birmingham .. in the 70s a true professional and star ... ... Always love watching your channel ...
My Mums Grandad was Irish like Danny La Rue, born in County Cork. My Mum came from a large family of 10, including 8 sisters and two brothers. Born and raised in Stepney, East London. My Mum and her family was fond of Danny La Rue, and saw him many times performing on stage throughout the years. But with the greatest respect, the catholic cemetery my Mum and Sister is buried in; City of London Cemetery & Crematorium has much more greenery there, including Roses next to my Mum and Sisters memorial plaques, and a lovely cafe there and a beautiful church. Apparently, the cemetery is owned by City of London in the city and is well maintained throughout the year. It’s just a shame Danny La Rues cemetery is overlooked by those new developments, and looks like it’s out in the open too much, with hardly any trees to hide the buildings overlooking the cemetery. But there was some beautiful headstones there Paul.
I agree. I've never seen such a stark burial place. The lack of trees and bushes seems very strange.
Loved Danny from when I was very young to a teenager and beyond saw loads of his shows he sent me signed autograph photo I loved him wonderful entertainer ❤
Hi Paul, I remember going to see Danny at a theatre in London about 50 years ago, the show was absolutely fantastic, I also went to the cinema to see Our miss fred a great movie,vi have now got Danny's movie on DVD, thanks Danny for thelaughter, thanks Paul for the story about Danny.
Hi Paul love all your shows. My mother saw Danny La Rue in the 1970s at the Severn Manor
In Stourport On Severn. She met him backstage after the show and got his autograph. She's still got that autograph today In a picture frame.
rip daniel x the grave with the lady and man is stunning. there are some beautiful grave stones around all over the place x
I just watched a documentary about Danny LaRue and your video showed up. I'm from Minnesota, U.S. and hadn't seen Danny's entertainment before. I might have heard of him and forgotten? I recently saw mention of his show in an online chat with someone from the UK.
I'm glad he's resting with his partner 🫶🏼 I think politics in both our nations has a rigid conservative faction which undermines freedom and marginalized people. In my supportive way, it's LGBT and the T isn't going away or hurting like they currently are. Misinformation and a propensity to willfully remain uninformed. Taking things wrong has become acceptable. Pushing errors as a matter of opinion instead of being wrong is being allowed by all media and far too many professionals and politicians.
Here in Sacramento, California, I do not know the name Danny LaRue. However, thanks to you and your sharing of information on his career, I will seek out more on him now. Many thanks!
You are very welcome
Can’t wait for this…looking forward to it…super entertainer was so unique and had a style all of his own superb ❤😊
Thank you Paul Danny La Rue served in Malta during World War Two I found out when I met him at a nightclub in Manchester he was lovely and respectful may he rest in peace ❤

I’ve been to see Danny’s grave I must admit I wasn’t to keen on the cemetery was so flooded and muddy , what a great entertainer he was RIP Danny 😊
Great video Paul! A friend of mine called Micky lived in Kensal Rise,he and his mum are both Irish and frequently attended mass at The Catholic Church of Transfiguration were Danny‘s funeral was held. I do remember him telling me they also attended the funeral as they were regulars at that church. Cool car in the start of the video and those tower blocks are hideous and should have never been Given planning permission overlooking St Mary’s as it’s disrespectful. ✝️
Ha, my mum always use to say ' he's got better legs than me '
Rest in peace Danny La Rue.
Very funny man such a Gem in his Generation, the likes of him you will never see again much loved around the world in his league of his own. Rest in peace sir will be Sadly missed. Ps thank you for the video Pual
That place looked huge, but very well attended. Thanks Paul. Working hard as usual!

It's the grave of a young boy who died in a horse accident you shouldn't have any problems in finding the grave it's very beautiful. Rest in peace danny hope to visit again soon.
The bingo ball number 52 was called Danny larue.. may he rest in eternal peace.. I remember him being conned out of his money.. such a shame xx
Many a time would we see him in The Post Office in Tunbridge Wells cashing in his pension. A very humble and pleasant man. His fame was never at the forefront and he was so polite to the staff behind the counter. Thank you Paul
Me and my dad loved watching Danny le rue when he was on TV I love the dresses he wore ❤😊
Loved watching some of his performances. Lots of love from the US 🇺🇸 ❤️ 🇬🇧
A flamboyant character with such a humble resting place, thank you for sharing
Danny was very much loved here in Australia, 💕
As always, thank you for this. I thought Mr La Rue an excellent entertainer, seeing him sometimes when l cut through Cavendish Square. It was very noble of him to repay monies owed when he was innocent of the crime which ruined him. I ALWAYS think of the poem by G.K. Chesterton, which ends "For there is good news yet to hear and fine things to be seen, Before we go to Paradise by way of Kensal Green". Rest in Peace.
Oh Paul. I just love the "If FINK I found it". That accent is wonderful. Thank you for all of your hard work bringing these treasures to us. I remember Danny from watching Royal Command Performances as a kid in the 1970s. He was at that stage a bit much for the Kiwi humour, we were more in to Fred Dagg and Foot Rot Flats at that time. Kia Kaha. Aroha from New Zealand.
I had the honour to meet Danny when I was 17 at an AIDS fundraiser in Manchester. Dan was the special guest of Frank Foo Foo Lamarr. That was in the days when drag had class and talent, not like the cheap Ru Paul nonsense now. I still remember how sweet he was, I'd sneaked out for the evening, still in the closet at home but determined to meet an absolute icon.
Aussie here. Yes, certainly have heard of Danny La rue, he was a terrific entertainer.
That particular cemetery, is a bit depressing tho. 😢
Thanks Paul. 🇦🇺
I remember seeing Danny last rue in pantomime in Bristol when I was a teenager.
He played widow twankey
Love watching him on TV lovely man rest in peace 🎉❤ x
I’m from Australia and the reason I know of him is because my Mum was a big fan. Love your channel ❤
Great entertainer.🌹
Lovely Danny La Rue. He kept us entertained shame he had financial problems and suffered ill health he was a talented artist and a good person ❤
I was at the Kensal Green Cemetery yesterday looking for my Grandad. I finally found it with the help of my Uncle, it is 72 acres so you could easily spend a few hours in there looking if you don’t know the plot number. Also there are a few famous people there.
Wow since the announcement that this was premiering, all day I have been singing “On Mother Kelly’s Doorstep” 😂. DLR such a treasure ❤️
Another legend he was amazing ❤ those graves were so beautiful 😮❤
Rest in peace Danny La Rue and Jack handson too!! And lovely headstones
If you think they’re big come to Sheffield shiregreen cemetery…. Another brilliant video 👏👏👏💯
Awww am I the only person that feels sorry and sad for Danny La Rue only having a simple headstone after seeing them other amazing and beautiful headstone /memorial graves. R.I.P Danny La Rue ( Patrick ) and thank you for all the laughs you gave us over the years.
Most of the people from the entertainment world at his funeral have sadly passed as well, cheers for the video

R I P DANNY 🥀🙏

Amazing as ever Paul and such stunning headstones , thank you 🤗🤗
A dreary, gray wet day - perfect for a visit to a cemetery!
An amazing performer just had my son's wedding at Walton hall
Used to see him on the telly. My late nan loved him. A lovely chap. Thank you so much for doing what you do. Really great 👍 x
CANT WAIT PAUL THIS SHOULD BE GOOD SEEN HIM A FEW TIMES ON TV HE WAS IN MR BEAN 🥀
I lived in Great Yarmouth as a child. I once went into my local newsagents in the early 1980s, and a group of little old ladies were in a fluster. I had just missed Danny La Rue by seconds. He was performing in a show that season and had gone off the beaten track to find a small shop. Gutted !!!
What a beautiful graveyard it's so well looked after. I have heard of him but never watched him.
Amazing guy. Idolised by me Joe Longthorn and Paul ogrady. He was the original of his kind. Great video Paul xxxx
Hi Paul, thanks for the hard work you do, to bring these amazing people to us.
Those headstones are so gorgeous. Such amazing tributes for loved ones.
Take care and stay safe till next time. ❤
I remember watching him on the tv when I was a child. His name certainly brings back childhood memories ❤
Thank you Paul for an amazing video i can remember Danny doing a season at Great Yarmouth near to where I live i never did see Danny on stage but I did see him a couple of times around the town and he rented a house in Gorleston while he was in Great Yarmouth doing a season he seemed like a really nice person
Fantastic video Paul
Im Overseas yes Paul i admire os past work
I'm in the States, and yes I have heard of Danny, in fact I saw that episode of Mr Bean you mentioned. It waa hilarious! Loved it! Thank you for sharing☺
I saw Danny La Rue live in Adelaide Australia. What a brilliant entertainer
Thank you Paul. A great video as usual. I always find it very sad when you have to walk away and they are left there all on their own when when entertained so many people in their lifetime. He was a great entertainer. There is a lesson learnt here never sign anything until your lawyer and you have read it. Signed away his life didn’t he. I wonder what happened to the thief’s who did that to him. Anyway the lovely lady looked after him till the end. Thankyou Paul your videos are simply the best. RIP Danny. ❤
Hi Paul... Danny LaRue was well known in Australia. We love comedy and British comedy especially.
It was a great entertainer I think one of the first drag artist on British tv
Another great video has always Paul 👍
Well done Paul, another great video! Loved watching Danny on TV when I was growing up and still enjoy watching him in some of the surviving episodes of ‘The Good Old Days’ where is was a regular performer. Interesting what you said about the cemetery. My wife and I had a few coach holidays in Austria some years ago. Austria is a Catholic country and their cemeteries are amazing. The ones we saw were much smaller than cemetery’s tend to be in the UK but the graves were immaculately kept and usually had a small lantern mounted in front of the headstone that family would light at night, very pretty. Keep ‘em coming!
So nice.Danny and Jack are together at last.Danny had to wait 25 years to join him.
I saw him in Summer Season in Bournemouth with my parents in the late 80s, when I was a teenager. Not my choice but he was a great entertainer.
Thanks for another respectful video.
He was man before his time so funny love his dress as child amazing star😊❤❤😢
Thank you Paul for seeking out the resting place of Danny La Rue. I saw him 3 times in Panto in Birmingham, twice in Cinderella and once in Aladdin. He was a fabulous guy and his dresses were absolutely amazing. I remember one of them being covered in mirrors and catching the lighting in the theatre. Very impressive.
Another good video 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👏👏👏
I didn't know he was Irish and a classic act
A much loved entertainer
And certainly set the Bar high for future performers like the late great Paul O’Grady
Danny always used to drop his voice throughout his performance so that audiences knew he was a Man & loved making people laugh with his opening “Wotcha Mates”
Loved him in the film “Come Spy with me “
A lovely man
Thank you Paul I enjoyed this one 🙏🏻💙
Thankyou for sharing this about dany
Hi Paul, wonderful video as always. I am born and bred in Cork city and he grew up not too far from me. He was a megastar here.
Hi Paul. Thanks for another great vid. U work hard and it’s much appreciated. Well done
Grew up watching him great entertainer what a great place great markers
i saw danny larue on tv many times he was good.
Yet again, another top piece of work, Paul. It's your work mostly that encouraged me to start my channel.
Cheers Kev, and keep at it mate
Hi ,Paul . A superb entertainer ,though I haven't seen that much of his work . Those new buildings remind me of how ,Woking looked a while back , maybe the building has changed the water table , hence the puddles and so many leaning headstones . I found a new word today ; Coimetromania . Not that I mean to decry your good work , just thought you may like to add it to your vocabulary . I too enjoy a stroll through church yards . Thanks for another fine tribute . RIP , Danny .
I went on a works party to Danny la rue club in Manchester in 1970 he was fantastic artist Now Danny can catch up with Paul Ogrady and Barbara Windsor R.I.P 💔💔💔💔
