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

[@sinead187]

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! 👏👏

[@HaydnGuite]

A absolutely brilliant comic and a lovely man off screen. He still stands as one of the greatest we've ever produced. God bless you Mr Howerd and thank you ❤ 😊

[@hancecrawford]

Hi Paul Frankie Howard is one of the old time greats

[@SunshineMix101]

😎 His deadpan expression, coupled with his excellent comedic timing made him one of the very best of his era. RIP Frankie,😎

[@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.

[@johnclarke7759]

What a legend Frankie was. Have alot of his work on Dvd plus loved him in Carry on Doctor and up the jungle, brilliant funny man

[@borleyboo5613]

Frankie was a native of York like me. I loved him in Up Pompeii and Chastity Belt. Very funny man. Thanks, Paul. 😃👍 Oh my word! An owl! I love owls. Beautiful birds. 🦉

[@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.

[@mariemurphy5499]

👋 Paul loved Frankie Howard in the carry on films and I like it when you say Paul i think I've found it ! Frankie Howard great comedian and actor may he rest in peace 🙏😇🌹

[@ellesee7079]

Loved him in Up Pompeii. Didn't realise he was a Yorkshireman though! Thank you Paul. Respectful and informative as always 😊

[@toriaridgway3501]

I always loved Frankie Howard he was a very funny man and made me laugh so much...R.I.P Frankie...🤗

[@themrs410]

Still watch the carry on films, can't wait for this one.

[@bonniejeffery4070]

loved this guy , last year i did the pilgrimage to find his grave , it wasnt easy but i found it , thanked him for making me laugh over the year. his partner is buried nearby too. bless him as he did have some depression issues aww xxxx

[@animalsplayground2023]

I'm still a big fan of Frankie and watch him often. My auntie went to see him live and said he was absolutely hilarious and people couldn't stop laughing. Just wish I'd got to see him. Thanks for the laughs. God bless you, Frankie 🙏 ❤

[@philcollinson328]

Thank you for these vids mate...Anyone born of my generation (born late 1960's) adored the people who's graves you respectfully visit.

[@garygrimmett7945]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@oddsandwindsocks5905]

Hi Paul, lovely to see Frankie's headstone well kept after 30 years. Church restoration is looking superb.

[@paulhickson-vb9ic]

I loved this man what great actor thanks Paul ❤

[@peterhleechleech2346]

he was very funny 😄 sadly miss, looking forward to seeing this video.

[@joshuaedwards6733]

I remember him in the films up the front as lurk and up the chastity belt as lurkalot and lurkio in up pompei

[@gaynorsmith7680]

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

[@estherhughes9424]

Thank you Paul…. It’s great look though the church.. Frankie was a very funny quy I still watch him on this carry on films .. most days .

[@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.

[@annettemingay2970]

I loved Frankie, especially in UP POMPEII so funny R.I.P. Frankie

[@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

[@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

[@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.

[@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❤️🙃🙏🏻✝️

[@MartinBean-nv4of]

Great comedian much missed !! Loved his humour x

[@susiegaskell2288]

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

[@sharoncarter4086]

Loved Frankie, he was effortlessly funny. Just a joy to watch, especially in his Carry On appearance. Thank you Paul !!!

[@mooncakerabbithender7203]

What a fantastic artist dear Franki was, his timing was perfect his expressions made us laugh even when he was not acting. His bushy eyebrows his ever-changing toupee a man greatly missed. I loved that church I felt I was inside it. I really like your filming Paul you give a great feeling of actually being in these locations you visit. mmm!! the door I agree I want one for my haunted doll room .

[@shaye6598]

Thank you Paul. I used to like watching Frankie Howard ❤

[@groundhoglife]

I remember watching Up Pompeii back in the day…Titter ye not 😆

[@lesleypeachey975]

[@David_Mc_Our_God_Reigns]

Looking forward to this. Hi 👋 Pau

[@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.

[@wolvoman1]

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

[@sallybowling9404]

[@LadyDoe17]

This brings back happy memories of me sitting with my mum watching up Pompeii with tears of laughter, on a Sunday evening. I loved Frankie’s quips. Thank you. What a great church!.

[@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.

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. !

A few years ago my cousin's wife did the Howard family tree. She found out that Frankie Howard is a distant cousin through my grandmother Florence Eleanor Howard and her sister my great aunt known to me as aunty Pop. My cousin's grandmother I am very proud to be related to Frankie Howard sadly I never got to meet him but I loved to watch him on TV.

[@BeerStens]

Frankie used to walk down the lane you came in up to the main road which was very close where he lived at Cross. The owl he used to practice his lines to interestingly. Oh, shut your face and all that. He also used to go the pub, The Lamb Inn on the main road with his mother. Very funny man, great videos m8.

[@recurvearcher6542]

Hi Paul , Thankyou for your visit to another great comedian from the UK, it was staple viewing on TV in NZ in the 50's 60's and 70's. Something dawned on me, how unique and architecturally beautiful English churches are, particularly the intricate wood carving , inside. I guess these carvings have significant meanings to the area. You could almost do a series on churches and church organs, I bet there steeped in history. Keep up the fascinating work Perth WA
