Benny Hills Grave and Frederick Fleet look out man from the Titanic

Hi everyone, just a quick hello from Hollybrook Cemetery Southampton.
I’m doing some filming but also visit the grave of Frederick fleet serving on the Titanic and Benny Hill comedian and tv star
#titanic #bennyhill #famousgraves

Disgusting the way Benny was treated by TV terminating his contract...never got over it :( RIP mate

[@Guvna07]

His shows were costing £450.000 to make per episode and his viewing figures were dropping and he wasn’t prepared to change anything so they got rid of him all together. Very sad because his show was his entire life but in the tv industry when you’re hot everyone loves you but it’s short lived. He was left with a fortune of 10 million pounds but it meant nothing to him.

[@anitapellegrine2885]

I loved watching Benny Hill while I was growing up, very funny man, we all know he drives the fastest milk cart in the West. Rip Benny, also god bless Frederick Fleet rip xx

[@Guvna07]

Benny Hills grave was robbed after his burial because the papers reported he was buried with lots of gold. When he was re-buried they placed the heavy stone on top to prevent it happening again. Very sad

[@paulguise698]

Its Illegal to be buried with Gold or Money, I don't think it can be true

[@gwinniboots]

Sad if that’s true.

[@Guvna07]

@@paulguise698 it was rumoured that he was buried with gold and jewels and the newspapers then reported it. That night grave robbers dug him up and opened his coffin. Yes it is illegal but unfortunately newspapers reporting rumors is perfectly legal

[@bluepeter128]

Wow what a shocking story. How come his laid to rest so far from where he lived in. Kent?

[@Guvna07]

@@bluepeter128 I think he was born in Southampton and his parents are buried there

[@annschouten7691]

I love the idea of the Titanic graves, may I also suggest that if ever you are in Kent, near Rochester, take a trip to a small village called Wouldham and in the church close to the door is Walter Burke - he was a purser during the battle of Trafalgar and is known for holding Nelson during his last moments on board HMS VICTORY to this day the school children of the village lay flowers at his grave on Trafalgar day . Sadly Walters home no longer stands in Wouldham, but it’s certainty a nice place to visit with the river Medway running along at the back of the graveyard

[@paul.h.8014]

That was a double whammy that easter weekend 31 years ago Frankie Howard and Benny just 24 hours apart... R.I.P. to two National Treasures. Remembered today and Always.....

[@joannepalozzi3060]

Thank you Paul for showing us around the all the famous graves Benny hill was so funny so sad we have lost a lot of funny people it’s never the same anymore so interesting Paul 🥰

[@steveellis1292]

Hi Paul.There is a statue of Edward Smith, Captain of the Titanic in Beacon Park, Lichfield, Staffs. Born in Hanley, Stoke on Trent, there are various stories as to why his memorial stands in Lichfield, 30 miles away from his home town.

[@traceyjones3334]

Thomas William Jones was a Titanic survivor. Born on Anglesey. He was ordered in to lifeboat number 8 by Captain Smith to row away the ladies in it. One of the passengers was the Countess of Rothes who was very vocal about what he should do. He apparently put her to work in steering the lifeboat. They remained in touch following the disaster. He is buried in Liverpool Anfield cemetery and crematorium. His niece was my grand-aunt Jane. Not a blood relative, just by marriage.

[@brynjones7507]

Hi TJ i remember walking up Nelson Column at Llanfair PG when i was young and seeing sea cadets below ! Wonder if T W Jones spent time there B4 meeting Captain Smith ...i cant imagine what he though the last moments when screams became silence ! with Love B Jones

[@traceyjones3334]

@@brynjones7507 they must have been the trainees at HMS Indefatigable when it was a school. You can’t climb the Anglesey column at moment due to restoration works.

[@JRRTOKIN420]

What a wonderful idea to do a live chat while also filming at a cemetery. That's bloody brilliant, man! Totally love the idea of it. If memory serves me correctly.. Then again, it might not.. But is this the first time doing this? If it is, please keep doing more. You're onto something Paulie 😊 Cheers! -Jerry

[@nikmason6873]

Anything on Titanic grabs my undivided attention. Good call Paul.❤. I have studied this ship since I was 11 years old. Defo got to do a collaboration. Scott rocks.❤❤

Benny Hill was my favorite and my introduction to British comedy here in the States. I know I mentioned this before but Benny Hill was my nick name at uni...apparently I have the same beady eyes. 😵‍💫

[@1089maul]

Paul, I know the cemetery very well. The Roman Catholic Canon who married me to my first wife lies near to Benny. In addition, my paternal family lie nearly as well! I was born in Southampton but you will be pleased that I follow The Hammers! Thank you for an interesting episode! Bob

[@gwinniboots]

Always interesting and often emotional, Paul. Thank you for your respectful visits. x

Not forgetting Reginald Lee, second lookout on Titanic too. I've made the Titanic a lifelong passion.

Hi Paul, just managed to catch up on this video. How wonderful to see a titanic survivor there, and I use to watch benny Hill as a kid. He was and is a legend 🙌🏻 Love your content as always

[@UnusualThings1]

Thank you, yes, Benny was a legend… and Frederick Fleet had such a sad story… I did a full video on him when I first started.

Very interesting subject to find the graves of Titanic survivors! I can't wait to see more. And btw I do follow Scott's channel. He is very good at what he does and gives so much detail. I appreciate what you both do!

[@jo22571]

Watching on catchup yet again lol will keep eye out for notification tonight lol x

[@EA-58]

Thanks for sharing Paul 👍

[@Ksknight100]

Top video, Paul. One of the last Titanic survivors was Eva Hart who lived in Chadwell Heath in Essex and died in 1996. She was cremated at the South Essex Crematorium, Upminster and her ashes are buried under a tree in nearby St Chad's Park (Chadwell Heath). There is a plaque at the tree with her details on. There is also a pub called The Eva Hart in Chadwell Heath High Road, Romford. These are all very close to each other and would make a great video mate.

[@nicolasimpkins3640]

Titanic holds close to my heart always has done thank you Paul

[@vetty1405]

Thanks Paul for another interesting grave. Benny Hill. There won't be another Benny Hill..So sad. As you can see, I'm doing a lot of catching up. Reason? So buzy. The amount of funerals amongst the black community I've attended since the year began, it's probably about 30, others on stream, because some were on the same day. Friends say I should do my own video streaming 😂😂. Brilliant podcast Paul, keep it going. May Benny Hill RIP.

[@KarlKeeley]

Thanks Paul well done

[@didee5336]

Enjoyed this one. Must get stuck into my family ancestry again as I am descended from a Fleet and have always been curious if Fredrick was a relation. The picture I’ve seen of Fredrick has a striking resemblance to family members descended from the Fleet name. Titanic challenge sounds fascinating!

[@matthewfarmer2520]

Hi Paul again 👋😊 may Benny Hill rest in peace 🕊️ and Fredrick Fleet 😢

Hi Paul, sorry missed the live, nice to see it now. I am about 5 minutes from Hollybrook. I am going to have my partner's ashes buried there soon in the cremation graves section, he died in January. Frederick Fleet's grave is beautiful. I sometimes take Benny a few flowers and after Gordon is buried I will do so more often. Lovely video, nice to see Hollybrook featured.

Once again a great video, love your enthusiasm. Think your side venture is a great idea

[@stellalydiate2189]

Love watching you x

[@archangelalan]

Hi Paul. Have you ever thought about trying to get into a crematorium to film behind the scenes? You'd have to do this during office hours normally, and ask the crematoria permission but they usually are eager to facilitate visits to dudpel any myths. It's extremely interesting having done this several times around the West Midlands whilst showing trainee police officers the death process. Maybe your viewers would love to see what goes on? I know you have plenty of funeral director or cemetery staff followers, maybe they could assist you?

[@UnusualThings1]

Good shout will enquire 🙏

[@archangelalan]

I'd suggest you'd either telephone ahead of your visit, or turn up and knock the door and ask. You could also ask the crematorium grounds staff-I've found them all pretty helpful. Lodge HIll crematorium in Birmingham are very good. Good luck with this. Love the channel. Al.

[@UnusualThings1]

Cheers, I conduct funerals sometimes as a celebrant, so will ask one of the crems I’ve done some work for in the past.

After some digging Alan is in Ramalley Cemetery, Eastleigh. I've emailed the clerk to try and fund exact location. Alan used to party at my mums parents in Mereside, Blackpool in the 60s when he plated at Blackpool so I'd like to know too. I've had a reply saying Eastleigh Borough Council deal with enquiries so I've emailed them. Let's see. We know now 😉

Yet more proof God was a genius and in front of the curve. Your ears are perfectly placed and perfectly shaped for the temple tips to keep your glasses in place. (the temples are the long arms on the side of the frame and the temple tips are the 'hooks' that fit over your ears for a snug fit to keep your glasses in place). And your nose is perfectly placed and perfectly shaped to rest your glasses on, at the top of the nose for close vision, and down your nose so you can look over the top of the frames for distant vision. Like I said, genius. Surprised you haven't cottoned on to this marvellous technical innovation. 😉😊

[@davidtilstone4814]

I fixed Jackie Mudie's headstone (Blackpool & Stoke) if you're ever up in the Stoke area and cleaned up the stone of the developer of the finger print (Henry Faulds) Different cemeteries but fairly close together. I can get specifics to you if you ever want it Paul.
