Roger Lloyd Pack deserves flowers for the joy he brought to us all 💐
It is always sobering to be reminded: this is how we all finish up, regardless of our wealth/power/status, death levels us all.
Can’t get near some of the celebs when they are alive…but can literally get within feet once they’ve gone…what a world we live in…make the most of life
I owned a wedding car hire business and once I had taken the bride to the church I would spend my time walking around the graveyards while I waited. They are bittersweet but always interesting, I can honestly say Highgate is depressing, terribly kept and utterly bloody bleak. These souls, famous or not deserve better than this grim place!
Age weather conditions winter over the years does so much damage
Maybe they ought to have balloons, bunting and a trampoline. Cheer the place up a bit.
It’s awful that the celebrity graves are so badly kept,yet I’m sure there families are enjoying the wealth they left,hardly any fresh flowers,Jeremy Beadles,and Triggers graves awful 😢
Cremation is best
Don’t like that idea
I was just thinking the same. Not a fresh flower in sight. The headstones could do with a bucket of soapy water....Great video, greetings from Ireland...
Ye Triggers grave so sad awful looking. His family need to bring his broom Trigger the funnest in only fools.R I P.
@@terryosullivan2620 They do,some of them are really weathered with lichen etc,not really fitting for the laughs they gave us
My mum knew Roger Lloyd Pack, she always said he was a lovely man and a real gentleman. She worked behind the scenes in a theatre so she met quite a few well known people but he stood out. She worked with him a few times and always spoke so well of him.
Georgina Turner- I lived in Las Vegas for 16 years & met many famous people. With all their fame & money, what really stands out are the genuine ones who treat regular people with kindness & respect.
Some people think walking about cemeteries is a bit odd, but I find it fascinating and well…..peaceful.
Having very recently turned 50 myself it’s made me think more about life… we’re all here for such a short time.. so make it a good one.
Another quality upload mate 👊🏼
Thank you…. I totally agree, my mates think I’m nuts lol…. But I grew up next to a cemetery and used to feed the crows in there as a kid. So I’ve always loved cemeteries and crows. Same here turned 50 in January. I work for the NHS and also as a celebrant conducting weddings and funerals, so I guess that’s my path now. 😂 I was a special for Hampshire back in 93 for 3 years.
@@UnusualThings1 We have some things in common then lol, growing up in South Harting the church & graveyard was right opposite our house..so it was my playground as a kid (in an odd way). I joined Hants police in '97 until I had a serious back injury in the job..bad arrest gone wrong 🤦♂️. Lifes funny sometimes, you never quite know what's around the next corner.. Subscribed mate 👍
@@waynester71 Ha ha yeh that’s weird…. Rubbish about the back injury, but I get it, even back then some people can be very challenging, I wouldn’t want to do it today. Yes life surely has a path laid out for us all whatever happens…. Thanks for subscribing, I shall keep the different vids coming, and hopefully continue to grow the channel. 🙏🙏
I find Cemeteries both peaceful and interesting, so you re not alone. Yes lets enjoy life and be positive while we're here 😀
Great Post. I mow and look after 2 cemeteries its my favourite place to work. Peaceful and always feel good when it looks nice.
It's like going around an antique shop!
I used to do the night security at Highgate Cemetery in the early 90s, a fascinating place, but best seen in daylight and that is a fact!
'But most of all he hated
That place that hangs on Highgate Hill,
Of soaked, Carrara-coloured earth
For Londoners to fill.'
John Betjeman's 'Portrait of a Deaf Man', a poem about his father. A wonderful poem. Thanks for your work.
The condition of Jean Simmons, Jeremy Beadles & Roger Lloyd Packs graves look terrible & unkept what a shame
Same thoughts. In fact it's shocking.
@@Briardie makes you wonder what yours & my graves will look like 10 years after you pass on, if the money is not there to keep rich peoples graves looking fresh
Jean Simmons grave site condition really shocked me.
@Jack Warner bad for the ozone
@Jack Warner Sorry you feel that way about Earth Jack, I would strongly urge you to take a break from news or anything controversial. All it does is depresses you and makes you jaded. This planet is a beautiful place and you need to not look at news, its nothing you or I can do anything about. The media thrives like a cancer on your misery. I gave up news about 3 years ago and watch youtube only, where i am in control on what's dished up before me. take care mate
Very sad. Great people. They should not be forgotten
We will all be forgotten eventually. 😢.
I came here yesterday, to find George Michaels grave , paid my tenner and got a leaflet showing me where the famous graves are , was shocked there’s no flowers etc on most graves , George’s have a sign saying only family flowers allowed , nice place but found the massive tombs very creepy, no one else was there
Mr Lloyd Pack is equally famous for the vicar of Dibley , and Mr Crouch from Harry Potter series . Much missed in our household as we watched him and was our favourite.
I met Ugo the footballer, he dated one of my work colleagues, and would come into have his hair cut,he was really nice, I remember looking at the scar around his head from an injury.
It was such a sad shock hearing about his passing...
Just makes you think...we never know what's around that corner.
Thankyou for sharing, you are very respectful and speak so nicely of all the celebrity graves you find..this cemetery is so beautiful, r.i.p to all who have gone to the spirit world, may you all be at peace.
Godbless 🙏
The cemeteries that you visit are absolutely gorgeous and peaceful. I love the history that you give us. Thank you
I love Highgate.. the long dead and the recently deceased all side by side, caressed by nature. It’s a special place.
A great stroll, enjoyed that. When you got to Roger Lloyd Packs grave the first thing that came into my head was something Trigger might say. Always go to other people’s funerals Dave otherwise they won’t go to yours. 💯💫👍
LOL, so true... He was so funny
Should have put that on his grave
I saw Roger in a play at the Alhambra, Bradford called Art. It also starred Nigel Havers and the actor who played Vandervalk on TV. Roger had a mammoth monologue in the play and the audience applauded when he finished it.
@@SC-jh9qp that’s awesome, yes he was such a great actor.
@@UnusualThings1 He was, I loved his work. Thanks for your great videos 😊👍
How can a man who brought generations such laughter and joy have such a bare and secluded grave. It is so sad. I can't believe it has been 10 years either. Thank you for all the joy you brought and continue to bring now we watch back your classic clips. Rest In Peace Mr Pack.
this channel you've provided is a god send to all those people who watch this channel but cant make a visit to the graves of these well known people, but you actually make it happen for them.well done
I’ve been to Highgate cemetery a couple of times. It’s worth getting a free map of the cemetery when you pay to go in, which gives you a lay out of where the most famous graves are. It’s very helpful if you want to be sure of finding them. 👍
I was a gravedigger for a while. You learn a lot reading the stones
I dig graves too. they are kinda groovy.
I visited Highgate last year and I'm desperate to visit again and take another tour. The history is fascinating and it's simply beautiful.
I spent a very long time looking for Roger Lloyd Pack's grave but sadly couldn't find it. I felt he was a big part of my childhood and wished to pay my respects. But I'll definitely look again on my next visit.
Trying to figure out why I was actually mesmerised watching this video 🙂I love looking at gravestones, the dates when they were born, when they died, how old they were, always feels peaceful in a cemetery, not morbid just peaceful, Malcom McLaren wow 😁
I agree Sharon. I find watching these very relaxing and interesting.
Hi there Paul…..I spent ages looking for Triggers grave in a local churchyard at the village he used to live in here in Norfolk…..no wonder I couldn’t find him! Had NO idea he had been buried in Hyde Park London! Tut! The things you learn on this Unusual Things program!!
Regarding the words at the bottom of his stone, “Hookey Street” was the last line in their theme tune The Nags Head, but not the rest of it
What an amazing place Highgate Is .I've never been .it must be atmospheric there and peaceful
I used to think I was a loner when it came to visiting grave yards. So good to see I’m not on my own. I do enjoy watching your cemetery visits. Maybe it’s time I subscribed. Thank you for your travels, keep at it. 😬
I don't go often but I do find a cemetery a great place to reflect and think about things.
I went to school with Jeremy Beadle's neice
Jean Simmons was in "The Thorn Birds" She played Meggies mother,
Richard Chamberlain was the priest.
Great actress
Thank you for your input Beverly it’s always interesting to hear things I wasn’t aware of
I thought she was in Thorn Birds
Thank you
@@kristatrenary thank you, yes she was too.
Jean Simmons did a lot more than that. She was hugely famous and made many films.
A Big Country with Gregory Peck and Chaleton Heston
My friend used to work at Highgate and restored so many of the vaults and memorials . I did security work on halloween , can’t say I ever noticed anything spooky sadly though
Rip Jeremy Beadle....thank you for all your charitable works, especially with Reach.....❤🙏
I used to listen to Jeremy Beadle’s brilliant late night radio show on LBC as a young teenager in the 1970s before he became famous on TV. Along with Kenny Everett’s Breakfast show on Capital it is still one of the best radio shows I’ve heard he was much better on radio than TV in my opinion 👍😎
Great video thank you for sharing, On a side note it's so sad to see Roger Lloyd Pack's grave looking so I don't know 'empty' almost forgotten!! And so out of the way amongst all the overgrowth :( For such a huge much loved character for many growing up he deserved a better spot and more love put into his memorial stone.
Absolutely.. I couldn't agree more.
Thanks so much Paul for the visit and we can see Roger & Jeremy’s grave stones your research into all these you do is amazing Paul thank you
Big ugo 🇬🇧 scored a great goal against celtic for my beloved rangers. Hero 👏🏻
Nice that your videos are so respectful, and you have an engaging tone for the viewer and reverence and warmth for the deceased. You're helping keep their memory alive, with a great and informative mini-eulogy slotted in for good measure. Good work.
Thank you for your kind words Jon really appreciate it and thank you for watching. 🙏
Spot on. Stumbled on this channel. A cheery and informative light thrown onto taboo territory. Very well presented.
@@UnusualThings1 Really strange because I knew someone that you saw buried his name was Manfong Mei
otherwise known as Benny, he had a Chinese health shop in Camden Town called Acumedic I believe it is still there, I knew Benny for about ten years and knew his wife and children too
Just wanted to add I was also in Roger Lloyd Packs house when I worked for a newspaper he lived in Kentish town close to the Forum a very well known music venue and very close to Highgate cemetery
@@pmoran7971 wow that’s interesting thanks for that, I like to hear any related stories 🙏
Thank you for these videos. I would love to visit England one day, and walk these graveyards but as a special education teacher in Alaska, it would be way above my pay grade!
Jeremy Beadle was my Dr cousin's best friend. I have Met him and have one of his books. Thanks 4 sharing
What a beautiful old cemetery
Where I live there’s a few celebrity graves and I find it odd that when they were alive people would hassle them for autographs and selfies yet their graves are left unkempt and in a lot of cases with no flowers on . Upon death they became the same as the rest of us
I was thinking the same...
Amazing cemetery with brilliant history to it. One of the great seven or something. There's also the story of the Highgate vampire.
Hammer horror filmed there a few times, the beginning of From Beyond The Grave is probably the best example.
Definitely worth a visit. The amount of graves and bodies is staggering.
Thank you for sharing your video with us I really enjoyed it keep the videos coming
Thank you for sharing this and thank you for all that you do I think you are Amazing
Great respect paid to everyone you talk about, brilliant. I like to think of them all chatting and discussing amazing stuff they've seen and done. May they all rest in peace.
Thanks Andy and thank you for watching. 🙏
Great and very interesting video.
For anyone wondering the last line of the wording at the bottom of Roger Lloyd Packs headstone is a quote from the theme song from Only fools and horses... of course that being the brilliant iconic sit com that Roger played Trig (Trigger) for many years.
Absolutely Brilliant.
Visiting on a cold misty winter’s morning really gives the place some atmosphere have done that a couple of times
wow amazing cemetery
Not sure how I came across your channel..
Strange what some people do, or should I say, many people think it’s strange. I’ve always been interested since a child.. ( 51 this month )
I still enjoy walking around them, so peaceful.
That’s a huge cemetery.
Thank you for sharing ✌🏼
My pleasure, glad you enjoyed it 🙌
Brilliant tour.. thanks for posting 👏👏👏
Excellent video, when I lived in Paris I spent many an afternoon strolling around Pere la Chaise.
Thank you, it’s on my to do list.
Shocked to see the state of the graves of showbiz people who gave us so much pleasure in life! Deserved better.
Just come across this by chance. Interesting video. Love watching graveyard treks. Look forward to seeing more.
Thank you there’s quite a few more videos on the channel and there will be quite a few more added quite soon
Famous Celebrities and Personalities deserves beautiful tomb and graves for there great contributions. Hope direct family have even a little attention and restore them.I'm sure they left something worth to spend. Thanks 🙏👍
I really do enjoy watching Paul do this. I find it really fascinating, and if I am honest, calming, I really enjoy watching Paul and the information he gives us into that celebrity. Thanks Paul
Thank you, I watch many (perhaps too many!) graveyard tours, and I like your style, informative, respectful. Very enjoyable
Awesome, thank you! and thanks for your kind words....
I've just found your channel. You do graveyard walks like i do. I've loved graveyards for years 😂 my family say I'm kinky lol. It's a harmless addiction. I just love those mausoleums in Highgate and the imposing stone pillar entrances. As you say, very Walking Dead vibes....i love that too 😂 seems we are well suited to explore together 😄
I love Triggers scene with he's had the same brush, only 5 new heads and 2 new stales lol. Bless roger we love him
Brilliant! Nice one Paul! More PLEASE!
I was dismayed at the state of some of the cemetery and wondered who was in charge of looking after it.
I am, but my backs playing me up.
Someone called Dave…
the only thing i cant get my head around is some of these actors are absolute legends yet they are literally stuffed in the middle of nowhere in packed graveyards with basic stones such a shame roger lloyd packs stood out pretty basic in a random built up area
We are all equal in death.
Bollox to celebrities they deserve nothing in death.
Can hardly read the stones too. My pets headstones are easier to read.
Maybe it's what they wanted?
I don't think they care at this point lol.
@@vincentmcbride6210 they dont no seems the family dont either if you compare it to the likes of amy winehouse for example & she died before roger
Shame of the mess some of the grave gets xx thanks for taking us round just found your channel x
Great video. Graveyards are so peaceful, I love them.
Just came across your channel, really interesting, I often look round graveyards, I find them fascinating.
Thank you 👍🏻
Just found your channel by accident but really enjoyed this one. Definitely subscribing. Nice to see you being respectful of the graves.
I really enjoyed your visit to Highgate Cemetery it's a place I'd love to visit.
Loved them all great video thanks Paul
I'm surprised how bad the celebs graves are just goes to when you've dead everyone forgets you unless your really famous like Elvis. Sad really isn't it 😠
Great video I love them all some sad graves some good one
I love Roger aka trigger he was a brilliant actor always made me laugh and cry in only fools he's sadly missed just love only fools my best tv show ever
The first time I realized Jeremy Beadle was dead when I wandered past his grave here. The people behind me said exactly the same as well
Roger Lloyd pack- first word/name that came to my head was DAVE 😂😂😂😂😂😂 poor Rodney trotter 😂. What a legend roger was and still is and he is one of my favourite comedy actors ever 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
That's a very interesting cemetery. I could spend hours wandering there
Just found your channel and read up on Highgate Cemetery. What an amazing place.
Hi Paul 😊 Thank you for your great video 😊👌🌹🌹. Cemeteries are so peaceful 🙏🕊️🕊️🕊️
Hi Hanne, thank you for your kind comments. Yes I agree, lovely places to just relax. 🙏
@@UnusualThings1 You're so welcome 🤗
The guided tour of Highgate Cemetery West side is absolutely fascinating and well worth the £15 - we’d highly recommend it 🙂 great video, we’ve now subscribed 👍🏼
Thank you for subscribing and for watching
Another great video.Thank you.
Fascinating! Thank you for your channel. My mom would have loved it. My mom, my aunts, and .myself use to love visiting Cemeteries! We loved reading the stones. And the older the Cemeteries, the more
Interesting they were.
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for your comments
Hi Paul I also like cemetery's they are so peaceful. Thanks for the shout out.
My pleasure, thank you Kath 🙏
Great video. I found Roger Lloyd Packs grave by chance as I visited with an Australian friend who wanted to pay respects at a grave that turned out to be nearby. (Sorry, I forget the name of the notable Australian).
Was a great place to visit, to remember those who are no longer with us and as I did the tour, learn about others.
Side note, also a fascinating array of different art styles and the creativity often forgotten as gravestones are seen as macabre.
Roger Lloyd Packs was a great comic performer in "Vicar of Dibley"
Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for walking us around . Highgate is a place I’ve always wanted to visit...one day! 👍
Just found your channel and now I'm hooked LOL! as you were in Highgate cemetery, and also have an interest for the supernatural, did you look for the place where the Highgate Vampire was supposed to be, from what I remember they debunked the story but still bricked up the catacomb entrance with mortar made with holy water and garlic which makes you wonder?
Really interesting, your presentation style and knowledge work well together to keep the deceased in public memory.
Brilliant as always Paul. Some great names there 👍
I love the videos they help me with my depression days remembering all my childhood celebs xxx❤❤❤❤
Hi Paul,love your calmness and respect to graves you stumbled across. As one of your followers mentioned Jeremy Beadle was on the radio,I too listened to him. I would love for you too find Kenny Everett, fantastic on the radio n clever comedian etc. Keep the good work going my friend ,cheers Mike😊😊
Hi Michael I’m led to believe that Kenny Everett‘s ashes were returned to family.
@@UnusualThings1 ahh blast,that's a shame thankyou for the work n reaserch you do my friend,best wishes🙂😉
Great video, so interesting. Yet to pay to get in, "for the upkeep," i have to say as someone who deals in grounds maintenance, the upkeep looks pretty bad from my point of view
Haven’t a clue why this popped up in my recommended but good video and I subbed
I’ve just been back tracking some of Unusual Things and the stars that have sadly 😢now passed. And didn’t realise just how many have succumbed to cancer. And quite a few that I didn’t know had passed. It certainly puts things into perspective. Given the times we now live in. When you look back. You’re really good at what you’re doing. And I really enjoy your channel. I’m of a certain age now. And it’s really good to look back over the years. Keep up the good work 👍All the best to you.
Malcolm McLaren, wow! Great find! And geremy beadle..brilliant, 100th big like!
Thanks for watching and thanks for your comments🙏
Paul, I stumbled upon your videos today and I am fearful of cemeteries and graveyards. I just wanted to say thank you for them. You’re really helping me with my fear. ❤️
Hi Bethany, honestly you have nothing to fear in them…. Anyone that is living is usually having a walk or visiting their families. The ones that are passed away are at peace.
@@UnusualThings1 thank you. 😊
Great work.keep it up.❤
Thank you for sharing this with us . Good luck in the future
Super video Paul keep it rocking 👊🏻 Awesome iconic graves there ✨
Cheers buddy…… 🙌
It’s SO SAD to see how a lot of these graves have been left to look so bad!!! Come on uk have some pride let’s find these famous people and clean up there graves !! It’s so sad to see! Thank you for doing these videos really enjoying them your very professional!! ❤️🙏💯🥰👏👏👏
Your not allowed to unless your the grave owner ,suppose people could do some weeding ect but not allowed to clean headstones x
For a tenner entry, they must be taking in millions. Where are they maintaining if this is a maintenence fee?
100% Agree. I saw June Whitfield's grave on this Channel and she only died in 2018. Jeremy Beadle's wording has virtually disappeared in 14 years etc
Thanks for taking us around
Just stumbled on to your vid which I found very interesting I love old cemetery's makes me feel peaceful
Hi just subbed as I find cemeteries lovely, quiet and fascinating places to spend time. Love the way you are very respectful to all you find. Can I just say that the first one on your list (can't spell his name!) I believe was a Bulgarian dissident that worked in British TV. Please forgive me if I'm wrong. X
When you read the 1st stone I cried because my man used to say that to me, I lost him last year and when I think I am dealing with it little things crop up and I am back where I started
Hugs Sarah. X
My condolences Sarah. I know how you feel as my lovely husband died just over 2 years ago. Happens to me all the time.
