37 Tonne tomb for "King" Willy Collins in Shiregreen cemetery

- What is believed to be Britain's 'biggest headstone' has been firmly planted on the grave of traveller king 'Big Willy Collins'.
The 37 tonne headstone featuring a solar-powered jukebox now stands at the burial site in Shiregreen Cemetery in Sheffield of bare-knuckle boxer Willy, who died aged 49 after collapsing while on holiday with his family in Majorca in July 2020.
The huge memorial, which some local stone masons estimate to have cost at least £200,000, is crafted from solid Carrara marble and features two life-sized statues of Big Willy's six-foot-two frame.
The headstone also features LED lights that can change colour, and is under 24-hour CCTV monitoring, which his large family have access to in order to see and 'speak' with him.
The family have declined to comment on the price of the elaborate headstone.
One of 16 children, Willy was the patriarch of the Collins family, and is said to have doted on his children and grandchildren, and to have had around 400 nieces and nephews.

Fuckjng terrible init
One of the things graveyards should be is modest and subdued, one of the things they should say is 'everyone is the same here'. Some personalisation is fine but controlled. Lord knows where they got the money from.
Church roofs.
@@martydav9475 who was he??
@@martydav9475 hey, no way I had never heard of him. Looks like they went all out for his grave side though. Iv actually never seen anything like it. Thanx for the info mate.
What an eyesore
Where are those statue-smashing mobs when you need them?
I'd come out my grave just to stop this racket..a graveyard is supposed to be a place of solitude and reflection..it ain't a theme park..no respect for others
Was the camera tied to a dog's back and let him just walk about?
He will be judged just like everyone else who has passed away. Non of this helps the person in the grave. You only take your good and bad deeds with you. #💧🔥
only way he gonna judged is by his flavour as worms eat him
@@aaronsmith4940 not really the people who new him whether it's for good or bad things will judge him.
agreed , waste of money disrespect to the dead all so
Jesus Christ will judge him on his life! And wether he lived for himself or Jesus. If it was for himself then he has himself to blame when he finds it gets very hot 🥵.
@@chris-mc4dg their judgement doesn't matter only your creator you should worry about.
Don’t let Rodney paint it ffs
haha ahahahha ha ah AHAhahah aH AHAHHA HAH AAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! oh . . . AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH AH AH AH AH AHAH AHA HA H AH AH AHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111
Tax man's going mental
By all accounts the council didn’t grant this monstrosity so looks like they’ll be having legal issues
Council have said that it will be torn down. Just people of a certain lifestyle thinking the law doesn't apply to them as usual.
@@justonecornetto80 you live in a dream world if you the SCC will do anything about it.
They’ll do Jack shit for fear of upsetting them.
Only interested in turning the city into a shithole full of refugees.
@@justonecornetto80 yor like a parot . Same sentance every time.
When I look at this, Derek Trotter springs to mind.
@Sf Ski nup
I walk past this graveyard daily as its 2 mins away from where i live,its awesome the grave and properly big,but i didnt know it weighed that much!!
37 tonnes **
It’s a fucking monstrosity. How is this dirty thief presented as a saint? You’re crazy!
You should try and lift it Robert. Try and lift it and get it on video. That would be hilarious. LIFT IT ROBERT!
I hope I have enough people who care about me to carry out my dying wishes, he must of been seriously loved by his community ❤
Yeah so this man served time for scamming an elderly couple out of thousands of pounds over a rogue roofing project, a quick Google will show you his arrests, he served time for other offences such as harassment. This is so disrespectful for all the other mourners who don't wanna hear that music, see what looks like it belongs in a funfair and just want a peaceful moment with their loved one
This is just insane.
They say you can't be the richest man in the cemetery this proves them wrong
No it doesn't.
that money dont get buried with him
Its still the most expensive tomb in cemetery so he is the richest in cemetery then
bet a fiver, gypo will have that stereo will be gone by w.end
They have 24hour CCTV covering it

I. p. kingxxx
Did they do it for him or for the snap cus there's a lot of pictures and no grieving
Considering we have been doing this for many generations before Snapchat and Instagram id say no , it’s foreign to others to still spend money on people once they gone but it’s better then dipping your hands into the mans bank account when he passes
its 2 years after his death they made this.
Gypos init
@@mrknowitall126 travellers 🧳 stop being disrespectful
You are supposed to celebrate life not grieve their passing amazing send off
49? So young x I think it's beautiful memorial. It's very interesting to look at and has a lovely feel to it. I get the feeling he's looking after everyone in the cemetery x
HE LOKINGE AFTIR UR BOLIK
You are an idiot, think of the people beside it layed to rest. All for this stupid over the top monstrosity. Awful taste, thieving bastard layed in marble.
Willy the robber nicked old folks savings over charging for shit roof and building repairs
Good night willy my old friend rip
The gypsy know how to do amazing send offs and go all-out on paying reaspect for the dead, funerals and weddings.👏👍
@KenBo Slice agree, nobody should die at a wedding its a day of celebration👍
Yea all granny’s they robbed paid for that.
Rest in piss.
@@dellbank7696 no. They keep themselves together because English people seem to don't like them, I got nothing against gypsy's there more stronger and not sensitive then English people.
@KenBo Slice Calling stranger on internet broke 😂 you’re probably sitting in youre living room the now looking down at the floor boards ain’t got carpets you smell
Nice to see something positive. Rip.
What about the poor people that have relatives buried beside it?fucking scandalous it is as soon as its torn down the better
big up Scarcity for covering this we will mis him what a legend RIP willy love from darnell
i mis him too :(
FUKINFD WILI DEAD NOT FUIAr bastsdsd
I personally LOVE it!!! Do they take song requests? I’m not a big fan of Elvis tbh
Who said you can't buy class for cash...
Anyone who saw the video of the funeral or that memorial…..😂
You got the year wrong mate. It was 2020. His funeral. 15th of August.
thank you for correction
@@ScarcityStudios No worries.👍
It looks absolutely beautiful, although I will never understand why the west make such a big thing out of death and spend so much money on shrines for what is essentially just ashes. Rest in peace Mr Collins, whoever you are
💯
It's not for the ashes..its for the memory's off the person..a final big deal made out off your existence by the people that loved you..most burials in the west are a low key quiet affair its only certain people that have these type send off most people in the west can barley afford a head stone and get in debt doing so
@@jshaw4757 I am from uk. I’m fully aware of the meaning. It’s just something I’ve never understood that’s all
@@jshaw4757 I agree, funerals, headstones, plots etc it’s all money enit
Irish traveller culture within the British Isles = all off the West
??
Backwards its a grave not a club
This community holds England in contempt, but if you refuse to serve one in a pub, the government has an agency to prosecute you
My dad always said buy land
What's the first song?
Who?
Simply amazing. Blessings ever to all those who knew & loved this man. Blessings ever from Belfast.
ARESE FUCKING BISCUITS
It reminds me of Mexico when a cartel boss die
Travellers have been doing this way longer than Mexican Cartels 🤣🤣
It suppose to be a cemetery not a disco definitely disrespectful to other graves needs to be taken down
Great credit to your children sir
Now that’s a gypsy send off.
Disgusting group of people
thanks
That's awesome, I never knew Big Willy, but I do now, what a fantastic tribute to the man.
Now the council are now trying to have this memorial removed, why!! Who the hell is it bothering, the neighbors!
A tribute to dirty scrotum of a man
@L Ly Yes, planning permission in a Cemetery 😂😂
@L Ly And the same beurocrats in charge of our Cemetery refused permission for a modest face of a Teddy Bear for a 2 yr old, not in keeping, not in keeping with what. So big Willey's is over the top, I don't think it's any more out Landish than what the Victorians put up, me personally I fancy a 10ft pink granite Egyptian Obelisk.
@@dotty4654 that’s outright discrimination so typical of the woke lefturds at Sheffield City Council.
@@dotty4654 It is easily the most over the top memorial I have ever seen.
Shame they couldn't spell "cemetery" correctly on the video lol....tick as a plaaaaaank.
It's spelt 'thick' you limey fuck.
Hmm no disrespect but 200k for a headstone, don't think the queen funeral will cost that much forget the headstones.
"King" means notorious of Sheffield
The queen will have a state funeral that wil cost millions
Margaret Tatcher’s funeral cost £3.6 million, so I’m pretty sure the Queen’s will cost more
I bet there's a few skeletons shaking their bones to Joe Dolan ..
20 pound a letter for the words on a headstone.
Great video ri
who???
What song is this
this is just up road from me its amazing thro to see in person but this is my neck of the woods love my cityyyyy
Are you mashed?
God bless his soul
balls.
The grave is right next to my school it’s supposed to be getting taken down cuz it’s to tall
He must of been some boyo for that send off. Blessings
A bit over the top . Big up Scarcity
thank u
We’re Irish we send our dead relatives into the afterlife in style. Anything for our dead people 🙏🏻🇮🇪
@@ScarcityStudios yiz beasytrads
Must of cost couple hundred grand that.
Woah
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I’m related to Irish Travellers and there’s some amazing graves, most gypsies just want a typical grave but others will save up money for something like this.
I'm related to some as well and unfortunately they often treat their own like crap then when dead put a big massive headstone on the grave.
You mean rob money? Obviously…
@@quality3664
Sometimes compensation from vehicle accidents like doing crash for cash schemes.
Nice like bit disrespect for other cemetery users.
🇮🇪 peace & power 🇮🇪
Awesome work here.
Beautiful
Legend of Darnall Sheffield !!!
Amazing never let anyone tell you different...I'm a teller I can read your palms..
Wow so beautiful bless rest in heavenly peace xxxxx
Wow gue bonita Aser esto hermosos momentos de recuerdos memoria para todos🤝👍
cuando un cerdo hace fuego todo puede salir lastimado!
No doubt he gets the money from stealing peoples bikes and shit 😂
Didn’t know we had a King bad man ting
Shame that none of any of his family has any taste. Was he "king of the thoughtless"? All this garish nonsense and pointless noise, he's still dead.
I think it's great me I love it ..
I come from a traveller background myself
I can assure that we always pay respects to all our dead
RIP willie collins SHAM.
