    I bet it takes at least three days to do a full tour of this cemetery!. It's a cemetary I certainly intend to visit, but I am doing all my local ones first. I love walking round them on a sunny or frosty day with my dog (on a lead of course, providing dogs are allowed), and reading all the headstones, taking some photos then going home and googling all the names to learn about those people. I always think to myself if they came back to life today, they would find themselves in a totally different world. Cemeteries are also a must visit for anyone doing family tree research as well.

    Hello Jessica! I’m from just north of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I love your videos. Especially the cemetery tours. I walk cemeteries here and check out the unusual headstones. I also like to find the oldest ones and ones that no one visits anymore. I had a friend that put a thought in my mind that I always remember when I’m looking for forgotten graves. “When a person dies, they die twice. Once when they physically die. The second is the last time someone mentions their name.” So, at these forgotten graves I read them aloud to remember them and I try to leave something behind so the next person that passes that grave knows someone cares.

I'm definitely going to remedy that now 🩷, its just a weird coincidence for them to pop up in my YT world of today, which is so very different than my world when I discovered that album.

    PSA: Exercise and diet are often not enough to maximize your chances against heart attack. You mentioned Douglas Adams died of a massive heart attack after a work out at just 43. Current cardiology thinking is the LDL level is the key. Had a massive heart attack myself, which I miraculously survived. Thought I was fine so I was genuinely blindsided. At that time my LDL was 177. With meds and lifestyle changes it is now 29. Anything under a value of 55 is acceptable. Get your LDL tested folks. Heart disease is a killer.

    Jessica, as near to the entrance to the east side of Highgate, you would have seen a veritable sea of marble,
    tabletop top grave markers predominantly bearing the Star of David
    Amongst those markers, you can see when looking closely black marble marker of Farzad Bazoft
    He was born in 1959 on Iran and was a freelance journalist for The Observer newspaper in England
    In 1990, he was covering a story about an explosion in a Baghdad (Iraq) arms factory. He was arrested in September 1989 at Baghdad airport, awaiting his flight home to London. He was accused of spying for Israel in Iraq and thrown into Abu Graibh prison. Following a one-day, secret trial, he was found guilty, and his execution (by hanging) was ordered by no other than Saddam Hussain.
    The sentence was carried out on 15 March 1990. His body was repatriated back to England, a resting place secured in Highgate (you have to be really rich to get a spot in there) and a black marble marker, bearing his last words before he was executed, paid for by The Observer.
    I remember it being reported on the news, and some months afterwards, I happened to go to Highgate, completely unaware he was there. But as soon as I saw his name on his
    grave, the story came back to me.
    BTW Did you know that Bob Hoskins is buried with other people in a very private part of the east side, which is delineated by an iron fence and padlocked gates. 😊

    As someone who’s been interested in history for many years, I find videos like this so fascinating. The overgrown foliage adds to the beauty. But I can’t help feeling that maybe, just maybe, in the state that it’s reached , it’s now become rather disrespectful to the people buried there. Perhaps something could be done to improve the look of the cemetery. Not withstanding the fact that all those interred there still have living relatives who I’m sure would love to see it in a tidier state.

      The overgrown state is what makes it so desirable for new interments!

    Ethel Mae Collins marker. That's St. Michael, not St. George. Michael tramples the beast, while George always slays from atop a horse. And Ethel Mae apparently was from St. Michael's.

    You missed it! If you go to the back of George Eliot’s grave, the person who is buried head-to-head with her is her true love-George Henry Lewes! They are discretely head - to - head for all eternity.

I’m a bit of a George Eliot fan-girl! The ONLY reason I went to the cemetery was to visit her grave and pay my respects. Of course, I saw Marx-can’t miss him. But I didn’t realize that, had I just turned around, I would have seen Spencer! These are great videos. Keep it up!
