Frankie Howerd's Grave - Famous Graves - Carry on Films

Todays Famous Grave visit is to the comedian and Carry on film actor Frankie Howerd.
Francis Alick Howard OBE (6 March 1917 - 19 April 1992), better known by his stage-name Frankie Howerd, was an English actor and comedian.
Howerd appeared as Francis Bigger, one of the lead characters in 1967's Carry On Doctor.
The success of the film version of Up Pompeii in 1971 saw British exhibitors vote him the ninth most popular star at the British box office that year. He would play versions of the character Lurkio in Up the Chastity Belt (Lurkalot), also in 1971, and Up the Front (Boot Boy Lurk) in 1972.

A cemetery is not just a resting place for souls. They are a walk through life stories. A stress free walk. Thank you. RIP Frankie Howerd🕊️

[@geoffpoole483]

Wise words.

[@annfahy2589]

Lovely sentiments❤

[@denniscattell]

Those of us who grew up in the 70s and 80s were so very lucky, we had Frankie Howerd, Morecambe and Wise, Les Dawson, Ken Dodd, Dick Emery, Benny Hill, and Warren Mitchell as Alf Garnett, all on the TV regularly back then, in new shows and repeats of old. Truly the golden age of TV comedy! And Mr Howerd was a comedic giant, we'll never have his like again! Thank God for the DVDs and for TV repeats! And thank you sir for this vid! 👏👏

[@pixusphotographic]

He once made a pass at me when I was younger and worked at the City Variaties in Leeds. He had just finished his show and wanted to get out of the theatre without being seen and then asked me to go back to his hotel room. Oooh er missus.

[@SharonHigham-jj6by]

Another genius of our time…I’ve never been a fan of the Carry On side of things tbh…but him as a comedian…brilliant to watch. He was like my mum in as much as his facial expressions…as children we could never tell if mum was serious or not…I mean in relation to telling jokes or stories!!! Frankie was the same…he could deliver the most side splitting jokes without any expression whatsoever…very funny fellow!!! Rest In Peace Frankie…your memory lives on+will continue to do so!!! X❤️🙃🙏🏻✝️

[@MavAuto-Pete]

At over 30 yrs later his work brings us so much laughter and fun. A person never to be repeated, a one of a kind character. Miss him do much. Thank you paul again for such a lovely video.

[@Kari_B61ex]

"Titter ye Not" and " Ohhhh No Missus" - such an excellent comedian. I remember watching and laughing with him in Up Pompeii and the Carry on Films. A sad loss to British comedy.

[@dimmak1375]

I live not too far away from here. I've cleaned his gravestone and placed new flowers. He was a natural funny man!

[@dimmak1375]

His partner of 40+ years, Dennis Heymer is buried quite close to where Frankie is.

[@SaltimusMaximus]

Grew up watching all the greats like Frankie Howerd, Kenneth Williams on Just a minute on the radio on Saturday was amazing, and the others, incredible talents that just do not exist today, watching them now always makes me laugh, these modern panel shows we have today which are supposed to be comedy fail badly

[@joeweston3252]

Hi paul frankie was fantastic in the carry on films my favorite memory was that clip where hatty jacs pulls his jim jam bottoms off when he refused a strip wash hilarious always makes me laugh lovely old church 🙂

[@berylsavage929]

Its so sad that frakie Howard,Benny Hill and my dad all died the same Easter weekend April 1992 both of the above were my dad's favourite funny men of all time all 3 sadly missed R.I.P.

[@garygrimmett7945]

Been there a few times. Beautiful spot overlooking the Mendip hills..loved frankie one of my faves legend...nice one Paul.. Gazz

[@megansavage7152]

I'm flabbergasted! My gast has never been so flabbered!

[@larry1824]

Spot in timing great guy

[@markdigby6690]

Paul. Can't believe the miles you travel. Amazing. Ime 61 and remember Frankie on the telly...he was do funny. One of the greats of comedy. I think Davud Walliams played him in a BBC dramatisation of his life ...Thanks again. Respectively researched...I love these walks through beautiful grave yards and churches. Look forward to the next one.

[@pamelahall1495]

Lovely video Paul …I loved Frankie Howard in up Pompeii…he was a legend…Lovely little church too …Cheers Paul 👍X

[@Finglesham]

That was a very impressive memorial to Frankie. His death and that of Benny were overshadowed by both occurring on the same weekend. I like Up Pompeii. What a lot of great actors all together. Never get anything like that now would we? Bah humbug. Thanks Paul keep them flowing.

[@The373887]

Thank you Paul for another wonderful video Frankie Howard was funny bless him ❤️❤️

[@susiegaskell2288]

This guy was amazing and funny 😄 brilliant brilliant actor . Loves ya frankie xxx

[@jacquelinedavies1776]

Frankie Howerd was always in Wales I remember he came into the shop I worked in we had a great chat & I kept thinking to myself "your familiar" he had a blue & red nylon shopping bag & he was so friendly not once did he let on who he was & we spoke about allsorts for about 20 minutes when he left my boss Said that's frankie howerd he was very quiet & unassuming but a very warm chatty man

[@David_Mc_Our_God_Reigns]

Looking forward to this. Hi 👋 Pau

[@christelbraune4530]

Dankeschön Paul 💕. War ein schönes Video.🙏👍👋👋

[@suemckenna2430]

Good to see a church with original pews instead of chairs , another great informative video .Thanks Paul

[@scorpiochris3635]

The man was brilliant his slapstick and innuendo on his comedy was second to none with perfect timing and not many people could do stand up for a long time he was one of only a few

[@33stevelinda]

Frankie another legend and a very funny man 😂 im glad you got inside of the church paul the stone work look great and that owl looks cool

[@des_smith7658]

That was a super little tour thanks

[@francescajohnston1470]

Another great video Paul thank u 🙏🏻 rip Frankie 💙

[@ronnietarr2427]

i remember watching those movies when i was young teenager they were so funny iits sad they are all pretty much gone.

[@alisonwilliams1873]

Frankie had an interesting life and he was a very funny man. I got the feeling he had issues with depression. It must have been so hard to have to hide your sexuality. Thank you for sharing his resting place with us Paul. Frankie is buried in a lovely churchyard and church.

[@gingerninjawhinger9986]

Frankie Howerd was a genuine comic genius; his asides to camera always seemed natural and were always extremely funny. RIP Frankie. 🕯

[@suemckenna2430]

Although not a fan , He was more of my parents era , have heard his music and youre right he couldve been big like the stones and beatles. Its really nice to see how well kept his stone is , but like you say not everyone has relatives or family to tend to them. Thanks again Paul , please carry on doing the great job you do. !

[@wayne.s]

Hi paul, i remember watching frankie howerd in the carry ons.. and up pompeii was a fave of mine, he was hilarious and had me in hysterics, thanks for this great tribute video, stay safe.

[@gaynor3976]

Loved him in Up Pompei with his innuendos which you couldn't do anything but laugh to. Brilliant actor, one of my past favourites xx

[@TheMartinDuggan]

Frankie Howerd OBE (1917-1992) one of my absolute favourites

[@joeweston3252]

Thanks

[@margaretevans2542]

Such a funny man, so very talented. This church was beautiful, love your videos Paul. Thankyou.

[@wolvoman1]

''Walls falling down, probably Frankie getting up to mischief'' Absolutely brilliant, i'm sure that made him chuckle.

[@robert789]

Loved him in the carry on films and up Pompeii brilliant 👍

[@Ihfmpw8]

I remember the line“ Washy time Mr Bigger” from one of the Carry on films, Mr Bigger was about to be given a bed bath….I don’t know why but I found this line hilarious… I don’t know why,perhaps he replied “Ooo No”. I still say to myself washy time mr. bigger when I go upstairs for a bath. ( I think I have several screws missing.)

[@gaynorsmith7680]

Hi Paul, looking forward to this one. Frankie was one of a kind. Xx

[@margaretbuckley9309]

[@andydye7883]

Ooo err Mrs. Thanks Paul for another great video. Andy

[@dennisfieldhouse2234]

an absolute brilliant comedian,the laughter will go on forever R.I.P frankie thanks for the good memories

[@bobbidazzler1343]

Nice one Paul. Love the inscription on his stone. I hated the Carry On films though. 😄

[@geoffpoole483]

Never knew he was a Normandy veteran. For that alone Frankie Howerd deserves respect regardless of whether or not you found him funny. His style of comedy was quite unusual; most of his contemporaries were gag merchants (think The Comedians) but Frankie Howerd relied on monologues. He probably influenced a lot of modern comedians. I wonder how his life would have turned out had he been accepted by RADA. Have you thought of looking for Kenneth Williams' grave?

[@Sanddancer1]

kenneth williams ashes are in the corner of a flower bed in golders green

[@jameswaugh2150]

Kenneth William's was cremated and I also believe Paul mentioned it quite a few times wheres been were the ashes were buried on some of his old videos

[@johnjones-henderson3249]

Nice video that paul frankie Howard fantastic so funny up pompeii carry on up the jungle remember him in that but I liked the way he starred at the camera when a comment was made that reaction to the viewer very clever not many do it Oliver hardy started that trend just looking at the camera after something happened frankie did it and spoke that for moves his trademark rip frankie howard a fine comedian god bless you

[@UnusualThings1]

Glad you enjoyed it
