Approx 25 years ago, I was on a show called, INFATUATION, which was to be a rival to Blind Date, hosted by an American tv host called Bob Eubank. On our show Peter Stringfellow was a star / celebrity guest. After the show, Peter gave all the contestants (10 of us) VIP passes to his club in London. On our arrival the following week end, ha gave each couple their own private table, with a bottle of champagne. He was a very down to earth guy, and made us all welcome. It was a lovely gesture! Many thanks Pete. RIP. 🙏🏼
I can attest Peter was a gentleman. I was a serving soldier based in London and he regularly invited us lads down to his club. If you could prove you were a serving soldier and were well behaved you got a table and a load of heavenly money to get a few dances.
He was a Sheffielder that’s why. Most Sheffielders are like that.
@@sinord5288My wife is from Sheffield I can assure you she never gets her hand in her pocket or purse for anything 😂
@@scousemouse69 ha ha yes I can bloody believe that. Neither does mine.
@@scousemouse69 🤣🤣🤣🤣
What a fabulous, beautiful spot.
After decades in the night club scene I don't think anyone can blame Peter for wanting somewhere peaceful and tranquil.
Or mibbi that's his favourite dogging place
What a beautiful place to be buried.
It’s like Terry Wogan, and Caroline Flacks burial places.
Thank you Paul ❤
I dint beleive thanks should be given. Peter requested privacy for his family following his death
I’d never heard of natural burial spots before but it looks like they’re very good for the environment and a peaceful place to visit. Good on Peter for wanting something like that. I was honestly expecting a gold plated headstone or something. May he rest in peace amongst nature.
Take a look at the Caroline Flack video Paul has done. Hers was in a similar place. Very peaceful.
We buried my Dad at Greenacres Epping Forest. This looks very similar. It’s the most beautiful place.
@@gaillaffer7579 That sounds really nice, good choice.
You can have a woodland burial and have a tree planted in the person's memory.
There are some beautiful, natural places that are allowing burials.
I'd never heard of natural burial places either. I decided to watch the video because I expected a grave really extravagant but this is a great choice, lovely place to rest in peace x
I liked Peter. He had a good sense of humour and he loved what he did in life. What more could one want.
I didn't even know Peter Stringfellow was no longer with us tbh! Out of all the Places of rest that has been visited on this Channel, I think this one has to be the most beautiful.
What a lovely peaceful place to be buried. Good on Peter for wanting to be there. No big posh headstone or anything. Just stripped right back to nature. Nice & simple. Beautiful place to be buried. Seemed a really nice guy. R.I.P Peter. 💐🌳
When I lived in the U.S. I had the pleasure of meeting Peter at his opening of his new club in Beverly Hills L.A. I had a few drinks and was talking a bit he listened patiently and was very respectful he was a very nice guy R.I.P. Peter
I met him very briefly right there at the burial ground a year or so before he died . He attended a funeral that I’d attended .
So pleased your mum bought you a coat looks good Peter stringfellow didn’t realise he had gone bet he had an amazing life god bless him thankyou Paul much love xxx
I used to own a card and balloon shop. We got a phone call one day from Peter Stringfellows personal assistant. She said she was calling on behalf of Peter Stringfellow and wished to order balloons for delivery. I said "yes of course he does" just to add, I live in Dorset. I then put the phone down thinking it was a prank. The lady called back, it turns out, Peters wife Bella, had a sister who lived down the road from my shop and Peter wanted to send a huge bouquet of balloons with a card for Bellas Nephew on his birthday. I no longer have my shop but I still live in the area, and I still balloon decorate, and to this day, Peters assistant still phones me to order balloons to be delivered.
Awesome story, thank you 🙏
It was a good back story that, it felt quite haunting when you reached the spot where Peter is buried, I was expecting a grave full of flowers because of how flamboyant Peter was.
So nice seeing all the positive comments about him! I never knew his story, so thank you for the info. He really made a life for himself and what a beautiful resting place. Really sounds like just an ordinary man who lived an extraordinary life.
I worked at The M8llionnaire club in Manchester in the 70s whilst a student. He seemed a really nice guy love your channel BTW. Discovered it by chance after visiting a freinds grave at southern cemetery in manchester and being shown nearby graves of sir matt Busby and Anthony h Wilson (mr manchester and broadcaster and founder member of factory records..,very famous in the north west) looking forward to seeing this new video so much x
Thanks 🙏
Pete or “Stringy” as we knew him to be, was a lovely man. I knew him through my friend working for him. The first night I met him he was wearing a long, blue, velvet jacket with his hair wild. It was 1998, and he was a gentleman. At this point, he had a flat upstairs at Stringfellows Covent Garden. I was 18, and he was sweet and kind. He had a much younger girlfriend who he adored, but he wasn’t a letch. He had a guy working for him who used to play “Brian Tisley” in Coronation Street, who was a letch and a pig!!! He was the perv and I don’t know what happened there but hey ho. Rest in eternal peace Stringy. You made us smile
Amazing that such a very wealthy guy like Peter chose such a place to be buried. It demonstrates what a really down to earth guy, excuse the pun, he really was, not wanting the glitz and glamorization of a posh graveyard and gravestone.
Hi Paul I used to live also at Pitsmoor Sheffield in 1981..what a busy man Peter was..Rip Peter..thanks as always Paul x
I use to go to Catherine pub in Pitsmoor
I met Peter and he really was a lovely person. What a beautiful place to end up... quite magical.
I've been a DJ for 34 years, working in the nightclub industry is a real joy, creating memorable events and just being the one that makes special memories for other people as I create memories for doing it. I made some tapes of some of my nights working the clubs in the 90's and can be there again in an instant with those tapes, it was hectic and I understand why he wanted that peaceful area to be laid to rest, it's exhausting making so much happiness for others which is exactly what he did.
RIP Peter and thanks for the fun.
Great video Paul lovely tranquil spot who’d have thought Peter would have been in touch with nature. Just goes to show never judge a book by it cover.
RIP Peter rest easy.
I remember him very well😊 Used to hang around those clubs in London all the time and actually met him once. He really was quite a character! 😁 Good times🎉❤️🎉
RIP Mr Stringfellow 🙏
I worked at Stringfellows as a dancer for many many years . Was a great ( the best) place to work by far and Peter was always a wonderful host and lovely gentleman. I miss those days and will cherish those memories forever. RIP Peter 😔🙏
I like the respectful tone during your informative wanderings. Thanks for all the cool content. You're mum has good taste btw. The idea of no headstone and being buried in beautiful surroundings is perfect.
Hi Paul,
Thank you.
Amazing life, born from humble beginnings often the case.
Not surprised he died from lung cancer, clubs in those days you could smoke, so workers of these clubs breathed it all night, every night.
Certainly left no petrol in the tank, die at 90mph with his hair on fire.
Great Posts
Another good one,loved to see Peter in shackles with an audience with Freddie Starr and he tried cutting his hair,well done Paul x
I remember seeing Peter on celebrity come dine with me...cor. he lived a extroudary life didn't he? Quite literally worked his way up with shear grit and determination . What a beautiful place to be buried. A green burial site. Thankyou again Paul for all you do.
Can you cover Richard Wright of Pink Floyd and Syd Barratt soon? This was well up to standard. Well done.
My dad and I met Peter out in Mallorca (where he had a villa) and we became good friends with him, often going out in his boat or having breakfast at Flintstones Café in Portals Nous. He was so kind, funny and down to earth and I'll be forever grateful to him for giving me a Stringfellows Membership Card for my birthday. RIP true gentleman.
Well I'm pleased to see from the comments that he was well liked. We were distantly related which I found through researching my family tree. He wouldn't have known of us. He died a month after Dad. I can only assume he wasn't flavour of the month with my great aunt!
Yes it sounds like he was a lovely man… 🙏
He wasn’t a very nice person, had extreme right wing views.
@@david-pb4biso you never met him. But your going to judge him on his views that differ from yours?
@@DjMossy Why are you talking nonsense? He was on the television most weeks pushing his extreme right wing views, if you can’t dislike somebody for their views what can you dislike them for?
Another fantastic video Paul thank you for all the work you put in to bringing us these videos. And what a lovely place
Ps, was a good person. God bless him. ❤️❤️❤️🇫🇷
I was on a city break in London with my husband, can't quite remember the year but Peter walked past us on the street and gave me a big smile and a wink 😉
Knew him as a friend through my restaurant business and likewise visiting him at his wonderful club ❤️
RIP PS💐
I went to Stringfellows in Leicester Square London during the late 1980's.
The atmosphere was buzzing and there were beautiful women everywhere I looked. I was in my late 20's.
He was a polarizing character. He took his chances in life and enjoyed the fruits of his labour. This World needs some colourful characters to stop us all turning beige.
What a beautiful spot. Thanks for taking us along Paul. I'd love to be put somewhere like that. No mess, no fuss, just going back to nature! You would think after the life he led, he might've wanted something different, but RIP Peter. Nice choice.
No. No thanks for being taken to his resting place. Peter requested peace & privacy for his family
I went to both Stringfellows and the Hippodrome in London several times and met Peter Stringfellow, on one occasion Kikki Dee was there and Princesses Diana's brother Earl Spencer was dancing the night away. It was a very elegant club but didn't have the same vibe as the Hippodrome, Heaven and Bolts this is where you partied, takes a look back at Eighties London. High Camp and New Romantics evolved from popular music culture..
Peter Stringfellow, what a fascinating character with a genuine, classic rags to riches back story. Makes you reflect on how a simple twist of fate can change your whole life direction; if he hadn’t been caught flogging those stolen carpets everything else would almost certainly never have happened, although I suspect there was something inside him that would have found another route to success. I watched an interview where he said he lost faith in God when his mother died of lung cancer. It’s a cruel irony that he lost his own life the same way, but I believe God understands us better than we do ourselves (disagree if you want but please don’t shoot) and I hope he has now found peace, reunited with his mum and other loved ones. 🙏
This is where my mum and brother are. I love the place so much that I have my own spot booked in. The staff are so kind and helpful. You have to go back early summer Paul just for a walk about its so beautiful and as you say peaceful.
Totally agree! Gorgeous place
My partner & I visited today. He is in the Cremated section, a lot of the plots in that section didn't have wooded marker plaques.
That is a 'Bugs house' on the tree, not a birds house. There were recently laid Daffodils in his square marker.
Thanks for another interesting video.
What a lovely place that is. I’ve heard of him from podcasts of people talking about his club in New York. May he rip in a wonderful forest 🌳
Hello, i am from portsmouth too. I grew up near North end, near Alexandra park. I now live on the outskirts of Portsmouth.
🙌🙌
Oh no,I didn't realise he passed R.I.P.
Can't wait to see.
Thanks.
Fantastic video Paul as always. Your channel is totally awesome
Glad you enjoy it!
Thanks for sharing he was big night clubs all over the word remember him come dine lovery man
What a great video Paul and lovely place to be buried 🌳.
It really is!
Sat with Peter and the very lovely Bella for coffee in Puerto Portals a few years ago, he was surprisingly modest and charming - rest in peace.
Wow did not know he’d died RIP ❤
Hi yea Paul, I didn’t realize that Peter stringfellow had passed away , fab location .
Hey Paul delighted to see your video pop up..Happy New year! Beautiful place to be buried. Great video thanks a mill x
Lovely peaceful place. Quite a shock that that is where his final resting place is. In stark contrast to his flamboyant lifestyle. ❤ thank you Paul ❤ xx
It suprised me too Hazel to be fair, I couldn't help thinking the closer to the tree, the harder the dig, roots & stuff... Nightmare if burial.. lol... These eco burial's ain't got everyone, & yes with his lifestyle I expected something glamorous too.. not even a plaque eh.? Still.. that's what he wanted 👍
Yes, I was shocked that he was there to be honest, and thank you as always, Hazel 🙏
Beautiful and peaceful ♥️I was born in Pompey and still live there.🙂👍
I never knew there was such a thing as natural burial but now I know thanks…Peter Stringfellow was certainly a very flamboyant character!!!
Love the fact his flashy persona was really just that. Very humble resting place for a Clubland Legend.
"Paul, i'm pleasantly surprised, that Peter had such a lovely natural woodland buriel!?. I thought that with his extravagant personality, he'd be buried in a mausoleum the size of the Taj Mahal!!!??....what a character was our Pete!!".🎵👍 🎶
It was a privilege to know him and be his friend , kind and charming to everyone and sharing a Pino Grigio with Peter was a treat.
What a lovely place to rest in peace . Thanks Paul for taking us there. 👍
Hi Paul 👋 certainly be watching. Greetings from Peterborough 🥰
Thank you for another great video,you deserve every success this year
Thank you!
I remember him on come dine with me,his kitchen sink fell through the floor and he just laughed and got back to his guests. Superb !
I visited his club in London while attending a gathering at the Ramada Hotel in Lily Lane. I bumped into Maria Whiticker & Freddie Mercury downstairs. Sleep well Fella !
Beautiful spot I remember peter stringfellow well a good character he was r.i.p peter Thankyou for sharing this Paul
Thanks for posting
Omg this one shud be quite an interesting one cnt wait paul 👍👍👍
Another good info packed one thank you
Wow, This was an interesting vid, loads of info on Stringfellow too.
Buried and no marker as such. How peaceful is it there. Brilliant.
Another good one there off yer Paul as usual. 👍
I remember going to the opening night of Cinderella Rockerfellas in Leeds, it was a club I went to regularly had some fantastic nights there!
What a gorgeous and peaceful place to be layed to rest in. Fab video and love your jacket x
During the 90s, I was in Stringfellows club, London, and Mr Stringfellow stood at the bar, adjacent to me…😁
There's a similar burial ground in Winsford, Cheshire. It's right next to a conventional graveyard. There's fir trees and it's wild. With spectacular views over Cheshire. It's beautiful. Just like where Peter is. So much nicer than a grave with a headstone.
Another beautifully covered episode Paul. Thank you .
Where about in Winsford is it please.
@@bigbernie7260 it's on Swanlow Rd. You turn into the main cemetery and it's off the car park. There's a wooden country looking gate and it's through there. It's lovely. So peaceful.
@@laurainejones673
OK thank you 👍
Went to Strings in 2000 for my stag night. Met Peter and a number of his young ladies. Had a great time. Thanks Peter RIP 🙏
Omg i never knew he was a Sheffielder, just up the road from where i live, to hear you saying Pitsmoor and Burngreave is so weird. Pitsmoor is really rough now tho. Ill watch the rest of the video now, just had to pause and share this with you xx
Nice one Paul, beautiful location mate 💗
I went to Springfollow in London 2010. The girls were lovely and the bar service was good. A friend knew him well.
You just can't imagine that he would want to be in such a quiet place.. but its a beautiful spot and so quiet xx r.i.p.peter ..
The man that the press always wanted to shame but couldn't as he did nothing to shame himself. He was a great businessman and I am lead to believe thar he was a great person to know. He never seemed to take life seriously which one of his endearing qualities. What a great place to rest, I never there was anywhere like that in the country. RIP Peter Stringfellow. (He should have been knighted)
I honestly didn't realise he had died, just a thought Paul do you happen to know where Lena Zavorini is buried? I was a big fan when younger 🙂
Such a beautiful place ❤️ I remember The Hit man and her night club in the early eighties with Peter Stringfellow and Michaela Strachan great programme with fun adult games 👍
Such a Beautiful place to end up.
I bet there are a few unofficial residents in there, who knows?
How beautiful, lovely resting place 🥰
Such a lovely person and nice to talk to
Met Peter years ago outside stringfellows very nice guy
Wow wasn't expecting that thank u
Thank you for this video. I had forgoten Peter Stringfellow was no longer with us.
I had no idea he had passed away .. Thanks Paul
He seemed fun and so charismatic. Made me laugh when his kitchen sink fell in on Come Dine With Me years ago! Good sport
Great vedio paul peter was peter an didnt make no excuse for his life style he was extravagant an stylish but I've herd a realy nice person so his story is great to listen to great job👍👍👍
Another great video. There are some kind people about who give you directions without telling you exactly where certain people are buried. I remember you asking where George Michael's grave is, but the staff weren't allowed to say.
You are Brilliant
I AM BACK :) I AM SURE I SAW HIM ON TV QUITE ALOT IN THE 90S WAS IT ANYWAY AS USUAL PAUL GIVES ALOT OF INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT THE MAN :)
what a great one !! excellent... you really are easy watching and very interesting... many thanks !
Many thanks!
Used to go to Cinderellas Rockerfellas in Leeds in the 70s every Saturday night and he was often there.
Such a quiet place very secluded to be buried ,when he was such the soul of the party ,hope he’s having a good rest after all that living bless him.thank you paul
Never heard of the kinds of buriel grounds, how lovely and peaceful amongst nature...
what a lovely place peter is rested at quite a character peter was larger then life and he lived it to the full another great choice paul.
I didn't realised he'd passed 😳
He did have a carpet business just outside leads before the clubs , I remember seeing him standing outside with his long hair he already had a name for himself, when I lived in London some years ago I went to one of his clubs it was full of posh people or at least they pretended to be , he had an amazing life
Beautiful
Thanks
During the 80’s three of my cousins would go to strings almost every night. Two of them flew with Peter to the opening of the Miami club in 89. They would describe that as one of the greatest holidays of their youth! They were great times for them. My cousin Paul even got to have dinner with superstars such as Mel Gibson and George Peppard at the club thanks to Peter, always ordering the famous Buttifly steak! RIP
Peter became a good friend and patron of my charity .He hosted an event for my charity at the London Hippodrome( free of charge)to raise money for deaf children's hearing equipment.He also sponsored my deaf daughter's education at a specialist private school. He was a wonderful,kind, generous man.I was given a VIP pass to Stringfellows club in London .Sadly missed and much loved. Rest in Peace dearest Peter 💜🙏💜
Thank you for your comments that is always great to hear.
