    I met him & his wife in Manchester Press club in the early 90s. He gave me his autograph. Very nice man. So young to die. Respectful video. Thank you. RIP.❤

    What a shame that nobody trims those bushes. It Ain’t Half Hot was a favourite in our house when I was a kid. 50 is no age, life is fleeting. A good one Paul,

    Please someone trim those trees on his grave, what an amazing headstone true to his passion in life, acting.
    Only fools was a better series for having him in it and one of the best series ever made.
    Life is to short, so make sure you tell your loved ones how much you love them each and every day.
    Paul, thank you for your respectful way of showing your audience these amazing graves.

    Had the pleasure of meeting him in 1987 in Teddington. I was an apprentice carpenter on a job in the high street. He knew the builder and came to have a chat. He said they had the episode of Only Fools and horses 'Jolly boys outing' coming up to film plus he was in a Fox's biscuit advert. Other than that work seemed to be thin on the ground. Quite common for many actors. He was a lovely man to talk to. His builder friend supplied him with some materials he needed for a job I seem to recollect. Such a sad loss at a young age

    Our society actually puts famous people on a higher level of importance, than just the everyday public. But watching your channel does make you realise that in reality they are not any different than us, they are just well known or recognised. They are just as fragile as any of us regardless of achievements and wealth. In the blink of an eye it can all stop and be ended. I'm 50, the same age as Kenneth was when he passed. I don't feel anywhere close to believing that my life could be just about to end already, but of course, it can at any time. And the other thought I have realised is that although it's still sad if I did pass at 50, that it would be accepted as quite young but at least a reasonable or acceptable length of life. And of course ,there are many that sadly don't reach that. .......We really do need to realise that tomorrow is not a " given " for ourselves, and to be as happy with our lives as we can possibly be.
