It is a shame that in real life he wasn't a really nice person. Quite the opposites I believe but it still doesn't detract. He was a great entertainer. Thank you Wendy
I saw Freddie on stage at Rhyl. I was about eight years old. I laughed so much my face ached. The show he gave was fantastic. I'll never forget it. Rest in Peace Freddie. You made people very happy xx
Isn’t it funny how life turns out…..watching him again now on your clip of him doing his brilliant Mick Jagger impersonation, and who would have believed that although very sadly Freddie has passed on, Mick is still prancing about and singing on stage with the remaining Stones at his age of 80! 81 this July26th!! Just incredible how he’s kept going,….it’s the swings and roundabouts of life! But I’d never have believed Freddie would have gone when he was always so full of life and energy. RIP Freddie and thanks for all the entertainment and laughs you gave us. 🌹❤️🕊️
Firstly, thank you for your wise words ( so true) and presentation. At 74 I watch Freddie singing Elvis with his one time backing group the Jordonairs, what a fantastic representation of the king, so, so, so good! As a youngster I found him so funny, although now older I don’t enjoy it so much. However, his Audience with Freddie Star in later years I find, in the main, sensibly funny! The Yew Tree investigation was so wrong as far as Freddie was concerned. These types of investigation SHOULD NOT be made public UNTIL convicted, anything else destroys, as in Freddie’s case, a persons reputation and can ruin them financially if unable to recover their legal costs, as in Freddie’s case. Sadly his early life was tragic, resulting in his turbulent and aggressive private life. Freddie escaped from this side of him on stage, one could say he was a man with a split personality. One can say the showbiz face of Freddie deserves to be remembered fondly, such a mix of greats talents. To die in such an ignominious way is so sad and the people responsible for his fall from favour should be absolutely ashamed of themselves!! It also saddens me to think that NO one he knew from the world of showbiz helped him in his hour of need or in death by way of funding his final journey or having his name etc entered on his parents headstone, shame on you!! Freddie Star you were as GREAT showman! Rest In peace!!
You hear this time and time again with celebrities they have many of the troubles ordinary people have . Lots of them hiding behind there Larger than Life Persona . Freddie was without doubt one of the funniest comedians the UK produced .
He had many celebrities as friends who didn't club together to bring his body home and arrange his funeral. It was a funeral company that went and got him from Spain and put him to rest. Thank-you
I agree with you User, it does seem a shame there was no money left at the end and nobody could provide the funds until the funeral director did and there's no name on the stone.
I loved Freddy growing up. Heartbreaking about his childhood 😢 Sounds like he might have been bipolar. Thats so sad that he didnt even get his name in the headstone. R.I.P Freddy. 🎉
Hi Alan My late dad used to love watching Freddie Star he used to roar laughin! I am glad my dad had passed before all that came out about him. I didn't really like him myself but I suppose everyone has different takes on things. Thank you for taking us to see the grave you are much appreciated always. 👏👏👏👏💕
Hi Jkk Yes, everybody likes different things but to the people that like this type of humor he was one of the best. I'm glad you've got the nice memories of your dad laughing so much
Back in 1993 I bumped into Freddie (who had just got out of his Mercedes sports car) behind the St Davids theatre in Cardiff. He was a star. Very friendly and funny just being himself and chatting. He asked if I was going to watch the show later that evening to which I responded no. He laughed and said: why, ain't I funny enough for you. I loved Freddie, and it was hard to watch his struggles in later life. Thanks for this one Alan, brought back the great memory of when I met him👍
Thank you metal detecting isn't that a wonderfully cute little story and I'm glad it brought back their memories for you at least you were honest and he laughed
I grew up in the 70’s watching great entertainers/comedians/double acts Freddie was up there to entertain and make us laugh you had belly ache When he appears with Des O’Conner on iTV back in the day they were a double act Freddie’s had an amazing voice Freddie had a tough last few years - I think Operation YewTree ‘finished him off’ in the end One of my favourite shows was with Des when Freddie bought on to the stage Freddie the Chimpanzee 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🙏🙏👍 👍 😭😭☀️☀️
I met Freddie many years ago when he was at Scarborough futurist theatre … went backstage he was very quiet and shy completely the opposite of how he was on stage … thanks Alan … RIP FREDDIE x
Fantastic comedian, saw him live, when he was taking off Hitler, those wellington boots he wore had ‘L’ and ‘R’ written on each boot, so funny. Thank you for this video, very interesting.
Hi Alan, I'm from South Africa. 2 comedians I enjoy watching was Freddie Starr, and Dave Allen. Loved Freddie doing his Indian bit, and Dave with his telling the time 😂😂. To me I don't care what Freddie had done in his private life, he made me laugh, and so did Dave. Thanks for showing us his resting place. Enjoyed it. Cheers.
Hi Corey I agree his personal life was personal and regarding entertainment, he gave that an enormous quantity. But when you're doing a film like this, you do have to try and reflect what you believe is the truth. I'm sure you can appreciate that. Thank you for the great comment. Allen
Hi Alan, Freddie was one of my favourite comedy stars I never saw, Such a sad life at the end after all he went through, Saw Jim Davidson last year and he talks about Freddie and how he died alone in Spain, Thanks for this Alan once again.
Loved Freddie star he was so funny seen him a few times in great Yarmouth and hull also saw him in Spain in a supermarket near to where my late dad lived very sad ending RIP sleep among the angels xx
Hi Alan well what a great singer and comedian Freddie was.The first thing that comes to my mind when someone ever mentions Freddie is the song Vincent which is brilliantly done by him it’s was so funny then as it is now and makes me cry with laughter. It was a Shame he had a dark side to him like you said he was amazing to watch. Thanks for this one take care and keep up the good work 👏👏👏👍
On the professional level, there wasn't many people that was as funny understanded this guy I agree with you totally, but I think on a personal level it would have been a nightmare, especially if you were a woman thank you for all the great coming my friend. Take care Psy
A very nice tribute to Freddie Star. I hadn't realised he'd had such a tough childhood 😔 Keep posting the videos Alan. They are always greatly uplifting. I look forward to the next one mate.
Hi Alan It certainly was tough I don't think I've ever heard of anybody as a child in their legs broken by the father. I'll do my best thank you for the encouragement
Thanks for this one,I watched an audience with Freddy Starr 1997,he really was talented,forgot how funny he was,so sad his name not on headstone,I wonder why. 👍
I can only think Lindsay that he was bankrupt and the undertaker paid for the funeral. Maybe nobody would pay for the inscription but I don't know for sure
I think Allison they couldn't have had the worst ending. It was pretty much cracking up and losing all his money and health. It was the end of a turbulent life I think. Thank you for for your comments
Another great video Alan even though there is such a sad background to this mans life. He is at peace now having left behind a great legacy of comedy and people not even born yet will discover just how good he was.
He really did crack up. Debbie, when he was under investigation. I don't think he was so confident in real life which is strange because he was so good on stage. I wished I'd seen him like you
He was the funniest comedian I ever saw, I will always remember him on Parkinson with Muhammad Ali, telling a joke, Ali was so absorbed in the joke, then Freddie suddenly sprang on the great boxer and made him jump. I remember Ali saying you're good. It was so sad how it all ended for him, but I guess it was the price of fame in his case. RIP Freddie, you were undoubtedly I true Starr.
Hi Alan a lovely video on Freddie Star I really liked watching Freddie Star I thought he was extremely funny and I thought he had a fantastic voice especially when he done his Elvis impressions I did see him once on stage in Great Yarmouth and thought he was brilliant Thanks for doing this video on him it's just such a shame what happened to him in his life
Hello Karl yeah one of the lucky ones so actually saw him live. There's always that edge of what will they do next I bet.... He told the story where he actually met Elvis and did the impersonation of Elvis to him and he likes it. That's got to have been his best VIP meeting. All the best my friend
You are so lovely Alan always so bouncy and chirpy this was a sad one he was such a talented and a good looking guy impersonated elvis perfectly but you could almost feel there was a dark side to him and obviously liked the ladies such a sad end to his life beautiful head stone though beautifully kept rip Freddie thanks Alan ❤️😊🙏
I'm glad you liked him. Crystal, he was so talented with charisma. There's no doubt. Along with Billy Conway in my book. He's one of the best and I really wanted to do it but it was difficult to mention the bad bits but I think you should be truthful. Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed Alan
Hi Alan, I love watching your videos and the way you present them, I also like you as a person, you are obviously a caring and compassionate person, hopefully watchers will learn to be also! Kindest Regards Adrian
Hello Adrian, I can honestly say that there are lots of really nice people that write on the channel channel and it's a great pleasure to get to know them. It was super kind of here to take the time to encourage me and I'll watch out for you in the future. Look after yourself. Alan
Thank you Alan. I think that it was so cruel that they did not put his name on the stone. Other people had to pay for his funeral. Where was his family so sad for him. God bless Freddie may you 🙏 R I P.
Hi Rowan it was difficult only in The contrast that I enjoy the entertainer but really not the person, but I do want to be truthful in how I see that the life is only my own personal opinion of course. Thank you for taking the time to think and comment. Take care, alan
Hello Judge, quite fascinating character seemed almost shy in real life with a stutter but on the stage a complete extrovert. I'm glad you enjoyed seeing his final resting place. Regards, alan
Freddie was so funny I remember watching him over the years. The last program I saw was a documentary of him living in Spain he looked so old probably wasn't so long after that he died. I didn't realise he had such a hard time growing up . Thought he would of had his own grave or at least be named on that one. One thing about watching your videos is I've learnt a lot about famous people their private lives of screen. Thanks for sharing love from Holmfirth West Yorkshire 💜 🫰
Hi Gill and I've learned a lot whilst doing the films. Just like you watching is the same for both of us. The only thing you begin to realize is that that once these people have gone people forget the location but remember them from film and television only mostly. This is the case with Freddy his job he did very well and we enjoy watching me included but the person behind it was very different bankrupt at the end and that is why there was no individual grave with a reference. His own life was very bad at the end. It's quite a leveling thing. The famous people sometimes are much poorer than the unfamous people because their personal lives sometimes are deficient. Thank you as always for your support and comments.I always enjoy reading them. Much love, Alan
I saw him once and he dropped his pants and mooned on stage ! He was really funny and as you said he was excellent at mimicking Elves ❤ It was sad seeing him decline as he did
Thanks,as always. Same old story with celebrities in that it seems from their Family they are "out of sight,out of mind" as,again,the grave seems unattended and he isn;t even mentioned on it after 5 wives and 6 kids.
Hello Isle of Skye I love that place. You don't have to thank me but I appreciate you being so kind. I enjoy what I'm doing and love connecting with the people who watch, I get some very interesting comments so sometimes we have personal connections it is a pleasure to read and reply to me.
Hello Lisa, if I get there to your spot of cars I'll be happy to have a drink and chat. Let me know if you're anywhere near Whitby as well. All the best, tom
I remember as a child watching him on telly impersonating Hitler playing football and also speeding up and slowing down, he was very funny. What a legend, I think he ate everything he was given in the brief time on I’m a Celebrity… I saw him once doing a non woke show in Lancaster. I can’t believe he’s gone. RIP.
He also recorded a few songs with producer Joe Meek. But they were not hits. Loved Freddie. A comedian from my youth. I also felt so sorry for him. Great video.
Everyone wanted to know him when he had money but when that money had gone so did those who called themselves family and friends.r.i.p you comedy genius..
You and me both Dave it was no pun intended an absolute star. Such a shame that in real life he was unconfident and things went quite badly. All the best,Alan
Very nice of you to say but the reality is it's just a little TH-cam channel but as long as people enjoy it and I enjoy doing it. It's a win-win! Thank you, Andrew
Hi Alan I watched a channel that the funeral director ( Mick & Cheryl) who dealt with Freddy, he carried the cost and Freddie was cremated and I'm sure he said he kept the coffin and is going to use it himself. He is a lovely man his page is Mick & Cheryl and it's very good. Thanks again Alan for a great video 💋
Hello Tricia, I was watching that video a few nights ago and I sent Mick a message and I watched a couple of the videos I've subscribed so I'll take a look at them. Thank you for telling me though, that's very kind of you
@@MotorHomeBeepBeep I recently just joined your channel and I’m really enjoying it , I didn’t realize Dusty Springfield mother was Irish like myself 👍🏻
A great Tribute to Freddie Starr Alan, yes unfortunately he did have hidden issues in his life, dark ones at that, but it’s been said many times he was one of the greatest All round Entertainers this country has had, But the sad way he ended up was truly pitiful, brought on it seems by the British Media, SHAME ON THEM.
One of the great comedians of the 20th Century. I watched his "This is your Life" episode from the mid 1980s on TH-cam a few weeks ago. That was funny as well. *Operation Yewtree 🌴 eventually killed him off sadly.
Hi Alan 👋I am not unsubscribed but I haven’t seen your channel for months? Hmm…I loved Freddy Starr,he was so inappropriate and off the wall but so funny.x RIP Freddy x
Hello Sandra, I do the channel as a hobby because I like it and things happen in life when you don't have the time. So that's how I upper it. I'm not really desperate to build it up, but I love it when people subscribe and join if they enjoy it. And now I've just retired. I'll probably do more. In fact, I'll start to the second channel but I'm telling places and the hotels TH-cam is great fun. Thank you, alan
Very funny man and brilliant impressionist. Unfortunately, as mentioned in the video had a dark personal side probably stemmed from his abusive childhood. It's interesting that he chose to be interred with his abuser. Thank you, Alan. Another great video with your wise words at the end.
the guy was a legend . one of a kind along with benny hill etc . and the bullshxt that he had a young girl i think contributed to his health and finished him of bless him . some people have lot of guilt on there shoulders .
I saw Freddie star in morecambe he came on and disappeared down a hole in the stage 😂 what a sad start he had but looks like he had a not so nice side as well, thanks alan
I haven't. Sandra, it has been done by another channel called unusual things. I haven't done it myself because I didn't actually know her from TV, but I wouldn't say no because it's been some time since it was originally filmed. I think it's in a forest and there isn't a location. It was ashes but thank you for the suggestion. Very useful. Alan
Great one Alan. Yes he was funny but I always thought he had a bit of a bad streak. Not surprising though with the way he was brought up. I wonder why his name was not on the grave stone along with his mum and dad. It seemed quite humble for such a big well known 'star'. A turbulent life but he gave many many laughs along the way.. You are right...who wants stardom??!! Content enough to be healthy and happy (although this is life and we cannot be happy all them time), but we must try. You always put things into perspective. Thanks Alan.
Very good comment Louise I think it was just that a that the funeral was even paid for by day funeral director. There was no money left. That's probably the reason
Mrs 🇬🇧 ..While I believe Freddie was no saint especially when it came to his daughter I can't deny that he was extremely entertaining and extremely funny... The allegations made against him I don't know the truth but he died pitifully & broke ...Such a sad ending to a man with a phenomenal singing voice & a great way to make you laugh...Rest Well Freddie...!
Hi, Ive looked at dozens of your vids and Ive gave them all a well-deserved Thumbs Up. , I've never commented before because- the content - presentation, and narrator are all first-class. But as you asked for comments- - you should drop the Beep Beep on the intro as its out of context - not Thomas the Tank or selling ice lollies to little children And you didn't mention Freddie best - When he threw maggots ain the All-Star audience. - which I guess was rice - from a pot inside the glass pot full of maggots. Please don't ban me - Cos I like your Vids Cliff +
Hello Cliff, originally I was going to do a travel channel from the motorhome and by accident, the first location had a graveyard with Sylvia Plath and I enjoyed doing the bio and learning about Sylvia and I went in from there so I'd never changed the name or the intro. I just wanted something that made it memorable but I get your point. The main thing is that you enjoy the content and thank you very much for taking the time. Best you dance. I'll watch out for you Alan
Freddie Starr was a brilliant enterainer0. . H0is real life as a child was nothing short of tragic . I think he needed support from a pyschiarisrt and medical intervention and certainly a more non abusive and stable childhood. R.I.P Freddie Starr
this guy was as mas as he could be but he thought he would be a failure he had a sad time very sad indeed i read a lot about him but i have to give it jim he was good at hiding his feelings then he had all that crap about being told he was a naughty man but then it wasnt true bloody awful but he was funny well gown alan for giving him a go on your famous channel alan is a great man he has lots of stuff i have watched thank the lotd for alan a big rgumps up for this top man god bless him
Interesting that you mentioned that the clap o meter on Opp. Knocks was fake. I’ve only heard/read that once before, from Berni Flint who holds the Opp. Knocks record for winning the 1977 series each week.
he was fanntasic , my brother looked alot like him and when we went to ireland he was chased by load women shouting freddy lol lol , he took off and hiding for over a hour from them ,
My sister told me that she had been chased by Freddie and his "bodyguards" across Paignton beech back in the late 80's. He groped her boobs in the name of "comedy". She wasn't laughing and twenty years later, when she told me about it, she certainly wasn't happy about it, Thing is, `I think this sort of stuff was thought to be acceptable back in the day......
Such a tragic end. I loved laughing at Freddie. Thank you for giving him some respect xx
And thank you Sharon for taking the time
You are a lovely man Alan. Your philosophy is so genuine and simple. God Bless You xxxx❤
I do truly mean what I said Jane thank you for taking the time. It was nice to read alan
Loved Freddie Starr ...Loved his singing... Beautiful tribute Alan .
Hello Debbie, it's always great to see you and read your comments. Thank you, Alan
My dad loved Freddie Star, thanks for this, what a sad life he actually lived, and yes marvellous Elvis impersonators xxx
It is a shame that in real life he wasn't a really nice person. Quite the opposites I believe but it still doesn't detract. He was a great entertainer. Thank you Wendy
@MotorHomeBeepBeep yes he was horrible by the sounds of thongs wasn't he xx
Thanks for the sensitive tribute to a very funny man ❤
How he ended really upset me.
I saw Freddie on stage at Rhyl. I was about eight years old. I laughed so much my face ached. The show he gave was fantastic. I'll never forget it.
Rest in Peace Freddie. You made people very happy xx
Isn’t it funny how life turns out…..watching him again now on your clip of him doing his brilliant Mick Jagger impersonation, and who would have believed that although very sadly Freddie has passed on, Mick is still prancing about and singing on stage with the remaining Stones at his age of 80! 81 this July26th!! Just incredible how he’s kept going,….it’s the swings and roundabouts of life! But I’d never have believed Freddie would have gone when he was always so full of life and energy. RIP Freddie and thanks for all the entertainment and laughs you gave us. 🌹❤️🕊️
Hi Helen Good old Mick. He's still working out 😄
He was the funniest man of his era. There is absolutley no one like him anymore, thank you for sharing!

Freddie had a smashing voice. Him Dave Allen,our Bruce Jim Davidson,such great comedian 👏 ❤
Absolutely! I love them all
He once walked my sister home from town on a night out. Met me and our mum who loved him, he was a really nice funny man.
Hi Ant thank you for that lovely little personal story. Interesting

When he appears with Des O’Conner on iTV back in the day they were a double act
Freddie’s had an amazing voice
Freddie had a tough last few years - I think Operation YewTree ‘finished him off’ in the end
One of my favourite shows was with Des when Freddie bought on to the stage Freddie the Chimpanzee

Keep posting the videos Alan. They are always greatly uplifting. I look forward to the next one mate.
Hi Alan It certainly was tough I don't think I've ever heard of anybody as a child in their legs broken by the father. I'll do my best thank you for the encouragement
Another great insight into one of our greatest comedians, many thanks Alan 😊
Thank you for the nice comment David
It's not surprising he had a stutter with a childhood like that. I saw him many years ago, at The Ritz in Brighouse in 1968. He was very funny.
Thanks for this one,I watched an audience with Freddy Starr 1997,he really was talented,forgot how funny he was,so sad his name not on headstone,I wonder why. 👍
I can only think Lindsay that he was bankrupt and the undertaker paid for the funeral. Maybe nobody would pay for the inscription but I don't know for sure
You are exactly right Alan about being kind in life. Money didn't help him. He seemed sad and lonely.
I think Allison they couldn't have had the worst ending. It was pretty much cracking up and losing all his money and health. It was the end of a turbulent life I think. Thank you for for your comments
Another great video Alan even though there is such a sad background to this mans life. He is at peace now having left behind a great legacy of comedy and people not even born yet will discover just how good he was.
Absolutely Greg. He did leave a big extremely funny legacy.
Great video again Alan
Freddie Starr was so funny

Thanks Alan loved Freddie starr saw him couple times live in Bournemouth such a sad end for him rip Freddie ❤
Ps you look like twins with Elvis alan😊

I always thought he was disturbed and that he had issues he was hiding. I did not know about his childhood, that accounts for a lot. 😊Thanks Alan
If you watch him on real interviews. Mary, he seems very unconfident but when he was acting he was the opposite. Thank you. Great comment
i use to watch freddie on t.v with my grandad god bless u freddie wonderful entertainer xxx R.I.P.
Thanks Alan for the video
Another interesting video, thank you Alan 👍
Thank you, John
Hi Alan, I love watching your videos and the way you present them, I also like you as a person, you are obviously a caring and compassionate person, hopefully watchers will learn to be also! Kindest Regards Adrian
Hello Adrian, I can honestly say that there are lots of really nice people that write on the channel channel and it's a great pleasure to get to know them. It was super kind of here to take the time to encourage me and I'll watch out for you in the future. Look after yourself. Alan
Legend gone to soon r.i.p 😪 😔
Thank you Alan. I think that it was so cruel that they did not put his name on the stone. Other people had to pay for his funeral. Where was his family so sad for him. God bless Freddie may you 🙏 R I P.
Hi Alan I love your channel.
Massive. Thank you Barry
Must have been a tricky one for you to do Alan but very respectfully and truthfully executed many thanks x
Hi Rowan it was difficult only in The contrast that I enjoy the entertainer but really not the person, but I do want to be truthful in how I see that the life is only my own personal opinion of course. Thank you for taking the time to think and comment. Take care, alan
A very very sad end to a man who was clearly blessed with a rare talent to entertain the way he did. Thank you Alan for telling Freddies story.
Hello Judge, quite fascinating character seemed almost shy in real life with a stutter but on the stage a complete extrovert. I'm glad you enjoyed seeing his final resting place. Regards, alan
Nice one thanks
Alan you are right money can't bring happiness
It doesn't definitely not. Marion, that's the problem. People put too much importance on it
Freddie was so funny I remember watching him over the years. The last program I saw was a documentary of him living in Spain he looked so old probably wasn't so long after that he died. I didn't realise he had such a hard time growing up . Thought he would of had his own grave or at least be named on that one. One thing about watching your videos is I've learnt a lot about famous people their private lives of screen. Thanks for sharing love from Holmfirth West Yorkshire 💜 🫰
Hi Gill and I've learned a lot whilst doing the films. Just like you watching is the same for both of us. The only thing you begin to realize is that that once these people have gone people forget the location but remember them from film and television only mostly. This is the case with Freddy his job he did very well and we enjoy watching me included but the person behind it was very different bankrupt at the end and that is why there was no individual grave with a reference. His own life was very bad at the end. It's quite a leveling thing. The famous people sometimes are much poorer than the unfamous people because their personal lives sometimes are deficient. Thank you as always for your support and comments.I always enjoy reading them. Much love, Alan
I saw him once and he dropped his pants and mooned on stage !
He was really funny and as you said he was excellent at mimicking Elves ❤
It was sad seeing him decline as he did
Thanks,as always.
Same old story with celebrities in that it seems from their Family they are "out of sight,out of mind" as,again,the grave seems unattended and he isn;t even mentioned on it after 5 wives and 6 kids.
And if you look, there was a load of rubbish tips on the right hand side. It wasn't a nice feeling there
@@MotorHomeBeepBeep Yes,My Friend and thanks for going the extra mile and replying to one and all:)
Hello Isle of Skye I love that place. You don't have to thank me but I appreciate you being so kind. I enjoy what I'm doing and love connecting with the people who watch, I get some very interesting comments so sometimes we have personal connections it is a pleasure to read and reply to me.
He truck was an amazin comedian RIP ❤
Hi there like watching your tube one love meet you on way home back Whitby as we live in withernsea East Yorkshire
Hello Lisa, if I get there to your spot of cars I'll be happy to have a drink and chat. Let me know if you're anywhere near Whitby as well. All the best, tom
I remember as a child watching him on telly impersonating Hitler playing football and also speeding up and slowing down, he was very funny. What a legend, I think he ate everything he was given in the brief time on I’m a Celebrity… I saw him once doing a non woke show in Lancaster. I can’t believe he’s gone. RIP.
He also recorded a few songs with producer Joe Meek. But they were not hits. Loved Freddie. A comedian from my youth. I also felt so sorry for him. Great video.
Everyone wanted to know him when he had money but when that money had gone so did those who called themselves family and friends.r.i.p you comedy genius..
That was nice. Thank you 🙏🙏🙏👍👍🙏🙏🙏
And thank you, Annabelle ☺️
Thanks for the video, Alan. Freddie was one of the great comedians, never failed to make us laugh. Sad end though.
Glad you enjoyed it Brummie
Hi Brummie terrible. If he was innocent, it bankrupted him !
@@MotorHomeBeepBeep Yes indeed, and sometimes the media don't help!
Always look forward to your videos Alan. shame a lot of bad things came out about him . but i still find him funny to watch
You and me both Dave it was no pun intended an absolute star. Such a shame that in real life he was unconfident and things went quite badly. All the best,Alan
Nice one Alan 👍
Cheers Mark
A very interesting mini bio of him. Thanks
Thank you, Geff
Another great video Alan!
But it kind of you. Hank
Another, very entertaining video Alan…. Be careful, you’re becoming a bit of a star yourself. 🤣
Very nice of you to say but the reality is it's just a little TH-cam channel but as long as people enjoy it and I enjoy doing it. It's a win-win! Thank you, Andrew
I've seen him twice Stevenage and Harlow theatre he was so funny
Hi Alan I watched a channel that the funeral director ( Mick & Cheryl) who dealt with Freddy, he carried the cost and Freddie was cremated and I'm sure he said he kept the coffin and is going to use it himself. He is a lovely man his page is Mick & Cheryl and it's very good. Thanks again Alan for a great video 💋
Michel Fogg family funeral directors is the name of the company
Hello Tricia, I was watching that video a few nights ago and I sent Mick a message and I watched a couple of the videos I've subscribed so I'll take a look at them. Thank you for telling me though, that's very kind of you
My late father said he never laughed so much when he saw Freddie on stage..
I can’t even begin to imagine such an horrendous start in life like that, your father breaking your legs twice and god only knows what else he endured
I agree. Claire totally unimaginable to experience that kind of violence as a child
@@MotorHomeBeepBeep I recently just joined your channel and I’m really enjoying it , I didn’t realize Dusty Springfield mother was Irish like myself 👍🏻
love following your journeys iv'e seen them all, would like for you to find percy edwards grave.
Thank you, Michael awesome! Really great suggestion. I'll take that down. Let's see what I can do. Thank you!
Hello alan very sad that one 😢
Hi Leeann that seems to be more sad than positive lives. Let's see if we can make a change in the next one 😆
@MotorHomeBeepBeep thank you Alan x
Sad💔
Great video elvis 😂👏👏👏
They asked to be said Moggy... Thank you very much!
@@MotorHomeBeepBeep I ment your impersonating of elvis was great Alan ✌️✌️
A great Tribute to Freddie Starr Alan, yes unfortunately he did have hidden issues in his life, dark ones at that, but it’s been said many times he was one of the greatest All round Entertainers this country has had, But the sad way he ended up was truly pitiful, brought on it seems by the British Media, SHAME ON THEM.
Well said Alan. I don't think he could take the pressure at the end with all the media. Best regards Alan
HE WAS A FUNNY GUY
One of the great comedians of the 20th Century. I watched his "This is your Life" episode from the mid 1980s on TH-cam a few weeks ago.
That was funny as well.
*Operation Yewtree 🌴 eventually killed him off sadly.
I saw him on a show where he threw live maggots into the audience. People were absolutely livid. He was a funny guy, though 😊
Hi Alan 👋I am not unsubscribed but I haven’t seen your channel for months? Hmm…I loved Freddy Starr,he was so inappropriate and off the wall but so funny.x RIP Freddy x
Hello Sandra, I do the channel as a hobby because I like it and things happen in life when you don't have the time. So that's how I upper it. I'm not really desperate to build it up, but I love it when people subscribe and join if they enjoy it. And now I've just retired. I'll probably do more. In fact, I'll start to the second channel but I'm telling places and the hotels TH-cam is great fun. Thank you, alan
Very funny man and brilliant impressionist. Unfortunately, as mentioned in the video had a dark personal side probably stemmed from his abusive childhood. It's interesting that he chose to be interred with his abuser. Thank you, Alan. Another great video with your wise words at the end.
Hello Joy, I also thought that was slightly strange with his father being buried there. A great talent but terribly sad ending. Great to see you. Alan
the guy was a legend . one of a kind along with benny hill etc . and the bullshxt that he had a young girl i think contributed to his health and finished him of bless him . some people have lot of guilt on there shoulders .
I saw Freddie star in morecambe he came on and disappeared down a hole in the stage 😂 what a sad start he had but looks like he had a not so nice side as well, thanks alan
I'm jealous. Jill, I would love to have seen him live. Thank you for your memory
Hi Alan have you done the Caroline Flack grave? I liked her and it was such a tragic end to a bubbly personality.x
I haven't. Sandra, it has been done by another channel called unusual things. I haven't done it myself because I didn't actually know her from TV, but I wouldn't say no because it's been some time since it was originally filmed. I think it's in a forest and there isn't a location. It was ashes but thank you for the suggestion. Very useful. Alan
Great one Alan. Yes he was funny but I always thought he had a bit of a bad streak. Not surprising though with the way he was brought up.
I wonder why his name was not on the grave stone along with his mum and dad. It seemed quite humble for such a big well known 'star'. A turbulent life but he gave many many laughs along the way.. You are right...who wants stardom??!! Content enough to be healthy and happy (although this is life and we cannot be happy all them time), but we must try. You always put things into perspective. Thanks Alan.
Very good comment Louise I think it was just that a that the funeral was even paid for by day funeral director. There was no money left. That's probably the reason
Freddie was a brilliant act . I'm disgusted at his so called Celeb Mates who abandoned him. Mr Starr you truely were . RIP mucka
Mrs 🇬🇧 ..While I believe Freddie was no saint especially when it came to his daughter I can't deny that he was extremely entertaining and extremely funny... The allegations made against him I don't know the truth but he died pitifully & broke ...Such a sad ending to a man with a phenomenal singing voice & a great way to make you laugh...Rest Well Freddie...!
Hi, Ive looked at dozens of your vids and Ive
gave them all a well-deserved Thumbs Up.
, I've never commented before because-
the content - presentation, and narrator are all first-class.
But as you asked for comments-
- you should drop the Beep Beep on the intro
as its out of context - not Thomas the Tank or selling
ice lollies to little children
And you didn't mention Freddie best -
When he threw maggots ain the All-Star audience.
- which I guess was rice - from a pot inside the glass pot full of maggots.
Please don't ban me - Cos I like your Vids Cliff +
Hello Cliff, originally I was going to do a travel channel from the motorhome and by accident, the first location had a graveyard with Sylvia Plath and I enjoyed doing the bio and learning about Sylvia and I went in from there so I'd never changed the name or the intro. I just wanted something that made it memorable but I get your point. The main thing is that you enjoy the content and thank you very much for taking the time. Best you dance. I'll watch out for you Alan
Freddie Starr was a brilliant enterainer0. . H0is real life as a child was nothing short of tragic . I think he needed support from a pyschiarisrt and medical intervention and certainly a more non abusive and stable childhood.
R.I.P Freddie Starr
Nice one Alan Freddie star's name isn't on the headstone why is that😂😂😂😂😂😂❤
Probably because he had no money at the time of his death Robert
this guy was as mas as he could be but he thought he would be a failure he had a sad time very sad indeed i read a lot about him but i have to give it jim he was good at hiding his feelings then he had all that crap about being told he was a naughty man but then it wasnt true bloody awful but he was funny well gown alan for giving him a go on your famous channel alan is a great man he has lots of stuff i have watched thank the lotd for alan a big rgumps up for this top man god bless him
Absolutely Rocka He's still great to watch now. It's timeless humor. Thank you for all the great positive comments. Much appreciated my friend
@@MotorHomeBeepBeep alan do you like my new name
Interesting that you mentioned that the clap o meter on Opp. Knocks was fake. I’ve only heard/read that once before, from Berni Flint who holds the Opp. Knocks record for winning the 1977 series each week.
Hard to do good when no good was done to you. Not impossible but hard
he was fanntasic , my brother looked alot like him and when we went to ireland he was chased by load women shouting freddy lol lol , he took off and hiding for over a hour from them ,
My sister told me that she had been chased by Freddie and his "bodyguards" across Paignton beech back in the late 80's. He groped her boobs in the name of "comedy". She wasn't laughing and twenty years later, when she told me about it, she certainly wasn't happy about it, Thing is, `I think this sort of stuff was thought to be acceptable back in the day......
Unfortunately it was more acceptable then but it still don't sound right
