Hi Allen, Just wanted to let you know coins are left at a grave as a symbol of remembrance and respect however they usually are felt on top of the grave but it still amazing that Beatle fan are still stopping by to show there respect to Stuart.
I was there this past July and I left original sheet music of Elvis’s Love Me Tender there for him because he loved to sing that song in Hamburg. Was an honor to visit his grave. I’m from Chicago.
It would be easy to miss the separate graveyard across the road & head straight for the chuch! Not only have I seen the gravestone but you've just brought back memories! I left school in the early eighties & straight on to a Y.O.P. scheme..which was actually based on the church grounds there...& we used to tidy up that cemetery/gravestones with strimmers etc. One thing I remember about the church grounds instead...was a hollowed out human shape in an empty coffin shaped raised stone? Anyway!...Tnx for the memories & bringing it all back to me...& making me feel where did life go lol.
Thanks Alan,a wonderfull tribute video and very informative ,Also regarding the coins/pennies being left on a headstone can be a symbol/tradition of remembrance and respect and was a way of telling all who pass by that the person buried there was loved and remembered,and may also be a meaning 🎼pennies from heaven🎼 as in the song.
Thank you ever so much Graham and your comments are much appreciated, but I'm very pleased with the connection from the song pennies from heaven. I never thought of that one. I love to find out the reasons and usually, somebody knows like you. All the best, Alan
Hi I have been watching lots of your videos I always find cemetery’s interesting stuart sutcliffe I am a fan of his work and loved his image ,I am a Beatles fan ,keep up the brill videos👍
@@MotorHomeBeepBeep I loved his paintings and if I’m honest I thought he was as cool as John Lennon even though he couldn’t play bass very well he still had a great image!
Life isn’t fair. If only, he was taken to a hospital when he got hit from the fight where he fell head down first, and had taken X-ray then, he would not have died this young. He had refused to take the X-ray and had a skull fracture in Jan 1961 according to a report. His friend had a broken finger? Lennon. His parents should have pushed him to see a doctor. I feel bad for his family who lost a young child. RIP - gone too soon.
Hi alan i never knew that he was only twenty one . When he died poor man as you say what heights he could have reached with his talent. Rip Stuart gone to soon . Thankyou alan
Hi Sharon he was showing talent in many directions. The film Backbeat is very interesting if you ever want to watch it how unlucky he was.he might have been super famous it was looking that way and now we will never know. Thank you for the nice comments.
Really liking your channel it's full of really interesting information... As a guide only and try not to be offended; it's a quiet observation only, move the camera up level with your face and a moisture wipe may be useful to remove the saliva prior to filming. It's great content and really appreciated ... No offense intended. I wish you every success 👍
Nice video. I like learning about people's lives, shame he died so young. When I was a kid I thought they must like insects to call their band the beetles, took me some years to spot the difference in how it was spelt Hehehe. Strange that thing with the pennies
Hi Abe I guess you've got to remember that when he died they weren't famous. They were just a jobbing band in Hamburg but he had the seedlings because he was in the music world and getting noticed in the art world. You get the feeling he could have been big time. And great minds think alike. I thought of The Beatles most of my life as the insects completely missing the spelling, but then again I am dyslexic to some degree I think. Thank you for the lovely comments. Glad you enjoyed it. Never personally seen the pennies before .... Best Alan
It’s all historical to me because l wasn’t aware of this young man but a very sad loss of a young man who was obviously talented and deserved moor Rp Sir
@@MotorHomeBeepBeep When you visit cemeteries always keep an eye out, not only for the grave you are looking for but those with floral tributes, not those recently passed but those attended regularly. See if there are any other tokens. I’ve seen all sorts over the years. In my local cemetery lies an ex pub landlady I knew for many years. There’s always a collection of Smirnoff miniatures amongst the flowers. 😊
@@thebohemian. Yeah I can. Kind of totally understand that people that actually knew the person would leave something appropriate and personal to their memory of them. The problem is that sometimes you're just so focused on getting the film done and finding the target of your mission. But yes I'll try and keep an open eye. I did that with Stuart Sutcliffe and never went there to see him. My mind was ringing bells when i noticed the head stone i even took a picture to look it up and then I saw the bench and it all fell into place e
She was Stuart's sister. I remember watching some years ago about Stuart's artwork, his sister owned all his paintings. I wonder what has happened to them now?
To say it is the Parish Church Liverpool is misleading ,there must be a number with this name being old villages which are now part of Liverpool.i think this is Huyton village Church Freddy Star grew up nearby so people think he is Buried there.
Hello Ronnie, a lot of people thought that this was the graveyard where Freddie Star was buried but it's not but I know what you mean. He was brought up in this neck of the woods. Freddy star has been done by other channels so I'm not going to skip that one. All the best, Alan
Hi Beep Beep,yes freddy grew up about a five minute walk from Huyton Church you may not know but Freddy played a big part in a Film called Violent Playground set in liverpool the main actor being David Mcallum who was later famous as THE MAN FROM UNCLE Freddy was only about 14 at the time he also toured theatres in a Roadshow with a lot of other junior talent he would have been about 15 then at about 19 0r 20 years of age he had a Band in Liverpool called Freddy Star and the Midnighters.Hope my information has been helpfull.
Wrong, John Lennon stated many years back that his brain hemorrhage was probably the result of a beating to the head he received when they were playing a concert at a venue in Litherland Liverpool, John has stated , they were attacked by a group of Men and Stuart was kicked to the head while he was on the floor!! RIP Stuart S. 🤧🤧
Okay Paul. Thank you. I didn't realise I'll take note. I remember going to do one famous grave in a Jewish cemetery and they were so close together that I had to stand on a great behind to film the gravy in front and it took me literally 30 minutes to go and get some hot water to clean it down cuz of my footprints so I never done intentionally.

Thanks for this, Alan. I never knew he was Scottish, always thought he was a Scouser! A very interesting video.
Five guys who became friends and three died so young, and even Brian Epstein too. Life is a strange affair.
I'm here because of your linsey de paul vid which I very much loved and also because of your very nice temperament and compassion for those who passed
Hi Retrosun that lovely of you to take the time to write big thank you Alan
Thanks for this didn't no about him, So tragic, just imagine what he could have gone on to do, really talented guy.
I agree James, Stuart certainly looked to have very prominent potential ?
Yes profoundly sad. We have met have we not? I remember you BK 🙂

hello Ben, it was a very talented young man. It's a shame He never got to carry on with his potential. Thank you for comment . Alan
@@MotorHomeBeepBeep I loved his paintings and if I’m honest I thought he was as cool as John Lennon even though he couldn’t play bass very well he still had a great image!
Definitely a new headstone,flowers look fairly fresh to so someone’s visiting the grave quit regularly I’d say..
Thank you for sharing beautiful tribute ❤️
Very kind of you. Tina

Absolutely fabulous snd totally informative and interesting--- life also can be totally unfair & uneven.
Thanks Alan for a wonderful tribute on Stuart and what a shame he died so young and yes you are right life is so unfair sometimes
Take care Karl
Hi Karl I remember I was surprised to see the bench on the way out. Poof lad was very unlucky all the best mate Alan
Very interesting so young rip .thanks Alan yet again for good video❤
He was cut off so early. Who would have been in The Beatles? Thank you, Paul
Good to see you back Alan
Thank you ever much for your kindness. Suzanne.
Stuart was born in Edinburgh the Sutcliffe cousins have a shop down in Edinburgh over at haymarket area
So sad that he died so young.god bless x We have now heard today of another boy band member Liam Payne from 1D who has also died at 31yo. RIP
Hi alan i never knew that he was only twenty one . When he died poor man as you say what heights he could have reached with his talent. Rip Stuart gone to soon . Thankyou alan

They say he wasn't much of a bassist but he played with them for quite a while

I live near that cemetery, did his parents live close to there
Did you find out what the pennies where for love your videos by the way 🤩
It’s all historical to me because l wasn’t aware of this young man but a very sad loss of a young man who was obviously talented and deserved moor Rp Sir
Stuart was an amazing artist who died too soon. RIP Stuart Sutcliffe. Where is Brian Epstein buried/interred?
Hi, Anthony, it was sad but I visit Brian I'm going to Lindon in two weeks good idea thank you.
thank you alan have you been to eyam at all
No, but I know it's near Manchester. Is that where you live?
@@MotorHomeBeepBeep no Eyam is in Derbyshire its the plague village I'm near Manchester Royal
Thank you really interesting Alan 👍 hope you find Freddie starr one day
I see often pennies left on graves as well as pebbles. I think folk leave them just as a token in place of a flower memorial.
Yes, you're probably right. I was just throwing a bit with penny lane and the fact they were mostly pennies......

Not one of the other Beatles went to Stuart’s funeral… I find that strange as they were friends and not even really famous when he died
Didn't him and Lennon used to busk when they were at college, to earn a few extra quid?
That would explain the bowl and coins.
The coins are a mystery perhaps he was busker at one time
Sir, who is pauline suctliffe ? Plz tell me
She was Stuart's sister. I remember watching some years ago about Stuart's artwork, his sister owned all his paintings. I wonder what has happened to them now?

Very sad but at least it has a beautiful stone unlike a certain ex Beatles mother Mary who lies in an unmarked grave in Liverpool
A penny for someone to say they visited his grave.
Im sure Freddie Starr is also buried there.
I find him thank you BD
Freddie Starr is believed to be in his mothers grave
Hi Wako I have heard that thanks
I’ve read his dad was abusive when he was growing up. I think the head problems could be from that.
Wrong, John Lennon stated many years back that his brain
hemorrhage was probably the result of a beating to the head he received when they were playing a concert at a venue in Litherland Liverpool, John has stated , they were attacked by a group of Men and Stuart was kicked to the head while he was on the floor!!
RIP Stuart S. 🤧🤧
I like your videos but stop walking and standing on the graves. Not very respectful.
