So sad to finally see George Michael reasting place grew up in the 80's when he broke out love all his music. R.I.P GEORGE you will never be forgotten...
George Michael was great when he was wham and even better as a solo artist! He is missed!
Christine, I feel like he should still be with us...
Robert Allen along with Prince and Tom Petty.
The only thing better than finding a new Hollywood Graveyard episode?? ... Hearing that there's two more episodes coming!!
I totally agree!
Yessss !!!
Yes totally agree, thanks Arthur
You got that right!
We must be morbid people
George Michael’s sister is also buried with him she passed away on Christmas Day in 2019. Thank you so much for visiting George Michael I love him so much. I hope you visit John Bonham of Led Zeppelin. ❤️❤️❤️
I did not know George Michael's sister had died. Whenever I see Highgate Cemetery, although it is occupied with so many famous people, George Michael always comes to mind first. If you have not done so already, I would recommend viewing his "25 Live" concert which I could watch everyday and never get tired of it. Be well.
Did not know that. Thank you
George Michael and his sister both passed away on Christmas Day. Very sad. RIP to both.🙏
Really??? That’s so sad. I’m glad they are able to rest next to each other now. We lost so many greats in 2016. George, Prince, Bowie, Carrie Fischer, Debbie Reynolds.
It's sadly ironic that George died on Christmas Day. Last Christmas is one of my favourite Wham songs (nobody will ever sing it as he did). In fact, I was listening to that about an hour before I heard of his death. Such a shock. It's shame his sister, Melanie died 3 years to the day he did. They were very close.
If you haven't read Andrew Ridgeley's memoir (Wham! George Michael and me)yet, I highly recommend it.
The perfect pun doesn’t exi-
“We’ve got a lot of ground to cover”
Arthur Dark is only competing with himself. He does not set the bar. He is the bar. The striking imagery, the delicious music, and the articulate and informative narratives simply cannot be beat. Thank you for another fantastic series of videos. Stay cool in the Valley.
NO ONE DOES CEMETERY TOURS BETTER THAN THIS SERIES ! I cant even watch the other attempts because they just don't present it the way Hollywood Graveyard does ! Please...KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK 🙏
Exactly. The others pale in comparison.
You are so right.
Not even close!
They cut out his heart and laid it next to his beloved. How romantic.
oooh they went against his wishes.As they say,most of the time you just don't have any say when you finally kick the bucket
Romantic, yes. And yet kind of grotesque.
@@jamesclendon4811 ghoulish, actually.
David K who’s
@@NenaLovesMakeup thomas hardy's heart was buried beside his first wife
Welcome to England. So different from the manicured orderly cemeteries you're used to but so glad you came. Great viewing, thank you.
So thrilled you've come to visit us in England. What a comparison between the manicured American cemeteries and the rather higgledy piggledy English church yards and cemeteries. Great viewing.
I thought it had rare sunny skies during the shoot. We watch "Escape to the Country" reruns here in Florida, and it looks like just about in every show it's cold, overcast, rainy or dreary and everybody wears sweaters, overcoats or a mack.☺
@@BeachsideHank Hi, Hank. Surprisingly, we do get lovely weather at times over here. Funnily enough, Florida has nearly double the rainfall of the UK but because we are so far north we don't get the guaranteed sunshine. A common joke going round is that because of our high rainfall the British don't get tanned, we get rusty! Warmest wishes.
@@avrilbowler8755 Florida has you beat two ways; rainfall and hurricanes.☺
@@avrilbowler8755 I like your sense of humor 😊
@@magpieone9390 😆
Thank you for showing Jean Simmons, a great lady RIP!
Ian Fleming also wrote the book "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" which was also made into a movie in 1968.
I didn’t know this thank you for sharing.
he did and with Roald Dahl writing the screenplay!
Such a small nation, but given the world such riches in artistic culture..
Yup. Its a nation I am proud to be a part of.
@@stardustcreations13 how can you be proud about that? You can be proud about something you achieved, or like the english football team winning something, but you cant be proud about being born in england, cuz it was pure luck
@@pullermatz5677 lucky for me it was pure luck.😂😂🤣
@@myrescuecats3028 so you were in heaven choosing to be in your Country?
@@pullermatz5677 proud to be a member of a country that has achieved so much? You can have pride in the achievements of your fellow man, it's not always about yourself.
Mariah Carey gets all the credit for her Christmas song, but George Micheal Last Christmas is truly a gem. Its still ironic he died on Christmas.
Dean Martin also died on Christmas and is noted for his many Christmas songs.
@@LVQ-so5th my lovely Dean
Although, Mariah Carey's Christmas song also is popular, I believe that Wham's Last Christmas is the most popular Christmas song in Europe 😊 but you're absolutely right about the song being a gem! 😊💎
I guess it depends on how old you are🤷♀️. There are a million Christmas songs. The ones that will last the test of time, well we’ll have to see that. Mariah? Meh. Last Christmas? Maybe. But it’s a bummer song. Who wants that for Christmas?
If Mariah pass on Christmas also this would be crazy. We all have to go someday Js.
I Love England So Much I Really Want To Go There🏴🇬🇧
You're welcome anytime,can I visit America one day?
@@cobrahacker-mq6rb
Anytime, but you might want to wait a few months until all these "protests" die down. Sometime after election day would be good.
Your welcome anytime.
That flag is NOT England its for the whole of Britain (Scotland, England, N Ireland and Wales). Thats like me putting up a picture of the flag of, for example, Colorado and calling it USA. What area do you folks in USA, think ENGLAND is?
Instantly liked the second I saw England! So excited to watch this one!
Jean Simmons was also in the mini series “North and South”. She played Clarissa Main, the mother to Patrick Swayze’s character Orry Main 😊
I was just going to write that!!
Wendy Rupp...I still love that mini series 🥰
@@kathleenbrenner2889 Me too!
She played in a spot of In the Heat of the Night also.
They said she was a yenta with the cast.
Roger Lloyd Pack has only been gone for six years but his grave looks like it’s been there for a century
I thought the same when I saw Jean Kerr’s. Looked to be 200 hundred years old ✨🌟🎶🎼💫
Must admit it does!
That's Highgate. It looks after its own.
@@susanleitch8649 highgate doesnt believe in general maintenance of its graveyards as you can clearly see.
I had no idea he died. I loved him as Owen in The Vicar of Dibly.
"....and that concludes our tour." Saddest words ever spoken. Thank you, Arthur, for a wonderful presentation. Looking forward to more of Hollywood Graveyard! God speed!
As an author myself, I must say that this video will remain one of my favorites in all that I've seen on TH-cam! I enjoy the life stories of the greats, but your focus on some of the best writers of all time will guide me back to this video for a re-watch in the future. Thank you for another amazing job!
It's true, you learn something new every day. I never know, Handel was laid to rest in London. Always thought, he was buried in Germany.
Great series, always a pleasure to watch.
And a great Thank You for giving C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien a visit.
My Day just got whole lot better
only time u just don't have to buy a ticket to visit the great,just take a stroll across the cemeteries
36 minutes of listening to Arthur's mesmerizing voice....that's all you need in life! 😉
Great show Arthur, one of your best.Jean Simmons and Debra Kerr were sooooo beautiful.
To say these are interesting vids is an understatement. This really is one of the best, certainly one of my favourites. CS Lewis is one of my all-time favourite writers. Thanks again for sharing. may they rest in peace. :)
OMG, I just can't say enough about your Hollywood Graveyard videos Arthur. I follow a lot of others that post graveyard tours but you are so superior to any I've seen. You do superb works until I literally count the weeks and months to the next one, thank you and by all means safe travels.
Excellent job! Sarah was pretty much going crazy over the English history!
Love English graves. So much atmosphere and so gothic!!!! England 🏴 does cemeteries so good!!!! So enjoyable to watch. You thank you so much for showing. Sharon in England x
One of the best channels on TH-cam
"In my beginning is my end.
In my end is my beginning."
~T.S. Eliot~
Awesome phrase
👏🤗🙏
George Michael, Deborah Kerr, Sir Laurence Olivier, Charles Dickens, Rudyard Kipling, and Michael Faraday are the best highlights of this episode. I hope someday the graves of Ms. Grace Kelly and Claudette Colbert be featured next. 👍🙂
Pardon the super late reply, Claudette Colbert is NOT related to Steven Colbert, is she?
The music when the video first starts after the intro transforms me. I feel like I’m in the 1930’s. It’s an incredible job you do.
Oh George 💔 Tears rolling down my cheeks watching this...Thank you .. Last Christmas 🎄
Nice to visit England with you, my friend. Thank you for the amazing jounrey.
Was watcging in amazement! No matter how old the gravestones in America, there are so many older ones in England. America is a baby compared to these.
Yes but American ones are cleaner and well kept unlike some of ours
@@davidm3maniac201
I prefer y'all's though!
These videos are so well made and entertaining. Well done Arthur Dark!
I'm always watching TH-cam when you upload.Thanks!!!!
I just loved Bob Hoskins.,!! Such a wonderful actor!
I had no idea he died and was in hook!!!!!
George Michaels' version of "Somebody To Love" with Queen at the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert was a legendary performance...wish it would have been mentioned even a little
Well you have mentioned it now
I agree 100%.
One of the all time greatest performances of that song! Just incredible! 😁
Why dont you make a video and include it.
@@davidm3maniac201 Really? You need to find on UTUBE the concert for the 1st Anniversary of Freddie's passing. Too lazy to look? Here it is...
th-cam.com/video/UvM2Cmi-YRU/w-d-xo.html
The segment about George Michael was so haunting and sad. He was a huge star when i was a kid. His voice was very unique and beautiful. I can never listen to Last Christmas and not get emotional. That made me choke up. Thank you for respecting him.
O Arthur , Arthur, wherefore art thou Arthur? Oh there you are. Time to go graveyard hunting in England.
Such Respects shown in England. We have alot to learn U.S.A. Awesome documentary. Your best yet. Thank You!
I had the biggest crush on Jean Simmons. What an incredible actress and what a beauty.
I was so happy to see Jean mentioned. I loved her in the Thorn Birds.
Thank you for showing Churchill , wouldn't have been complete without him...
And George Michael too.
Thanks for this! As a Brit we have so much to be proud of. Absolutely loved it! Can't wait for the next two parts!
another interesting tour, was heartening to see George Michaels' resting place. May they all rest in eternal bliss.
I've been waiting for so long to see Jean Simmons' grave in one of your videos! Talented and beautiful actress with the sweetest voice ♥️
My favorite actress
Just brilliant, as always...and a lovely way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Can't wait for parts 2 and 3!
Good on you for traveling to England! So glad you're really branching out. I love your presentations! I saw the notification on my PC but I'm going to run downstairs and watch it on the big screen. Cheers and keep 'em coming!!
Thanks for coming back to England, absolutely compulsive viewing as always.
He did not come to England. Viewers done this video. We was on lockdown how would he get here
@@davidm3maniac201 Actually, as shown in the opening clip and as described in the Notes section (dropdown menu) of the Title box, all England location filming was by Richard Brown.
Though I feel much joy, my heart is tinged with sorrow, for I have but one like to give.
Then give it sir, and regret naught, for thou dost bestow it right well and with a heart full of truth and respect. Be comforted.😋
I just love these. Can't wait for part 2 and 3. Great tribute to George Michael.
I love England history thank you!
This gets a Top 3 vote from me.. Love the old cemeteries where they are elbow to elbow and even look buried standing up.. Great job..
Great to see this new series of graveyards in England! Such a difference between the lovingly cared for and lush American cemeteries and our messy unmown plots...
You should do a president’s graveyard special. It would be interesting
Yes
MegaRock1fan that’ll b fun
And generals if the army inpetular George Patton I know he is buried in Europe some where
Great Idea!
I would like one with the Titanic but not too sure if it’ll ever happen
A girl can wish dream
I just discovered these videos a few days ago. I haven't stopped watching since. The quality and professionalism amazing. Please keep them coming!!!
It’s lovely to see some local grave yards being explored !! Love this episode ☺️
I have to watch these episodes twice as they come in... Once for the info and twice for the scenery...
Stay safe everyone and thanks from 🇯🇲 🇯🇲..
Arthur I don’t what it is about death, but it never fails to intrigue. Never miss an episode. Thanks.
Speaking of Dickens, if you go to Shrewsbury you can find the grave of Ebenezer Scrooge. When they shot the 1984 version of Christmas Carol there the producers found the blank stone in the church yard and got permission to inscribe it and then left it when they were done. Shrewsbury is also the town where held his first public reading of the story.
It was in one of the viewers Specials, can't remember which one
@ASHLEY PAWLICKI-ANDERSEN you are correct, just found it!
@ASHLEY PAWLICKI-ANDERSEN I have too, just couldn't remember 😊😆
As Gilda Radner used to say: oh that’s different.....never mind. The Christmas special is that one episode I missed.
Yay for a new Hollywood Graveyard. Can’t wait to see the next two
The best part of my day is seeing that notification pop up! Wonderful presentation, as always!
Great episode! Actors, poets, writers, musicians... I'm overwhelmed by all that greatness! I can't wait for the other 2 episodes ♥
So sad George Michael
Rest in peace gone to soon sadly missed a legend and icon.🙏
Amazing! This has to be one of your best. I live in London and enjoy visiting notable graves, thankfully London has so many to choose from and keeps me busy
Mr. Dark, Thank you for another enjoyable video. Your videos are of such high quality.
Once again, this is one of the best series on TH-cam. It is so well done and gives you the chance to visit the graves of the famous which most people can not do in reality.
An interesting fact. When The London Necropolis Company was building Brookwood Cemetery they also built the London Necropolis Railway. Which was built to carry the dead from London to Brookwood. The lines in the Cemetery closed in 1941 and you can still see the platform in the cemetery and I think the old station house as well.
I think there's a crematorium with the same thing (Woking?).
Now THAT is creepy, one final train ride.
Awesome and perfect timing! 🕊
Thank you a new video made my day! Happy Sunday. Aww George Michael ❤ I listen to Last Christmas at least once a week.
What great history in comparison with North America! Always a treat thanks Arthur cheers… Keith
"Trigger" Roger Lloyd Pack Legend ❤🌈 R.I.P xxx
His gravestone is not lasting well
Are you sure its not his dads,he was an actor?
Thank you once again, Sir Arthur Dark for taking us on a journey through the hallowed halls, and picturesque Cemeteries where notable figures are laid to rest.
I live in the U.K. So this is just brilliant .....love the channel
So many notables. Surprised at some of the very modest headstones for some i.e.Jean Simmons and Deborah Kerr.
I really loved how you slowed down the photography. You usually move the film so fast that I have to close my eyes, thereby missing so much. This was perfectly filmed! I was able to see the entire video and look forward to the next one.
Thank you for bringing us a glimpse of the past with the many artists of the written word. The beauty of such works is exactly what we need right now in our world.
Thank you for these. Great Britain has a rich graveyard history.
A rainy Sunday afternoon and a new Hollywood Graveyard. What a way to end the weekend. Thanks once again Arthur and Hollywood Graveyard ✌️
Oh Arthur, you have given me a wonderful gift to come home from work to today. Thank you so much for everything you do to bring these videos to us, your voice is a soothing balm to the soul.
It would have been fitting to have "Dave" on Roger Lloyd Pack's headstone. I always laughed when he said that.
"Alright Dave", UK comedy Gold, always said with a totally straight face
When asked if he would wish to be buried in Westminster Abbey, Winston Churchill is said to have replied: "No! There are too many already in there who I don't like!"
Really? If it's really his quote I'm sure he would have said "whom."
@@jamesclendon4811Very possibly!
Churchill was filth.
@@janethigginbottom 🙄
@@janethigginbottom why exactly?
I absolutely cannot watch enough of these!!!
Whoohoo, Arthur's back!!!🤗
Thank god we gonna see George Michael grave!!!😍😍😍😍🎵🎶🎵🎶 Yesssss!!!!!🎤🎤🎤🎤😎😎😎😎
George's duet with Elton at Live Aid in 1985 will go down as one of the best pop songs in history, "Don't Let the Sun Go Down". Elton knew he was a great star and it's on his greatest hits CD.
I look forward to these........Thank you Mr. Dark.
I just realized Hollywood Graveyard is not just visiting entertainers graves now. It’s about visiting very famous people in general
I was totally Impressed with this video, not only the actor's and singers but a great tribute to the writer's and inventor's. I was amazed that some of our foremost writer's were british. Winston Churchill was a honor to see along with the other beyond famous writer's. Again Mr. Dark awesome job.
This was done by a viewer in England. He edits them
Wow. What an amazing group of people were honored in this video. Thank you for this.
Beautiful Cemeteries.
The part where Churchill’s voice is heard while visiting his grave gives me goosebumps for some reason
I hope you do the royal graves like Henry the 8th and his daughters! That would be awesome.
And wives!
Amazing yes that would be amazing 😉
henry vii's is under the floor of a church at windsor with just a marker on the floor. Jane Seymour is in the same vault as well as Charles i and a child of queen anne. You'd think he'd have a huge tomb but he doesn't. There are reasons though
Not to mention Henry the 8th wives too
@@martinkirby3100 - Two wives were found buried under the floor of the chapel in the Tower of London....no markers.
again a big thank you ....you master of the past, nice to read and see you, an admirer from very far away 👍💖💋
What a fabulous treat! I wasn't expecting this at all and now I feel like it's my birthday. These sights are wonderful and you have such a rich supply of souls to visit. And of course there's the icing on the cake - we know there's two more coming! Thank you so much for this wonderful tour.
Oxfordshire is such a pretty place. It’s so weird to see my home town on Hollywood Graveyard. Seeing notifications for this makes me super happy 💓 you rock. Xx
This was amazing! So much History here. Thank you, Arthur, for sharing all of this with us! Can't wait for the next part! :-)
George Michael the voice and the heart of an angel R.I.p
What a humble grave of Winston Churchill
This is the only way to see most of the Highgate burials, since that section is closed to the public. Plus you only scratched the surface at Westminster Abbey (not counting the royal tombs). Sir Isaac Newton and Stephen Hawking are buried there too, among a number of scientists.
He did say this is the first of a three part video.
@@Thefruitspeaks Yes, but they might be going elsewhere. There's a lot more England to cover.
@@darthdmc Well, we won't know until it's published. I highly doubt he wouldn't cover some of the biggest names in the abbey.
Ha ha, to be fair, it’d be bloody hard to cover all of our well-known burials. England is full of them!
@@pumpkinpatch5 I know. Got Pat Roach, most of Tolkien's family, the fathers of the Industrial Revolution, the founder of the Football League, and the inventor of instant custard powder buried in my neighbourhood.
