Marc Bolan's Final resting place - Famous Graves

[@Kari_B61ex]

I was born in 1961 Marc Bolan and T-Rex were the first band I ever followed. Marc introduced me to music. I saved my pocket money to buy 'Ride a White Swan' and also a T-Rex t-shirt.

[@elizabethspedding1975]

Taken too young, he had so much talent🌹

[@russelljoyce3588]

Great man is Paul to show us all these famous people's resting places, what a wonderful man he is, loads of respect for him

[@gullsrus]

I'm a big marc bolan fan. I'm now 65 and still listening to T.Rex. thank you for posting this lovely memorial. x

[@jujulionesselsa1416]

Oh how sweet and symbolic is the tiny plaque of Marc's Parents, they are altogether now how very beautiful. I remember when Marc sadly lost his life in 1977 a time that will always live with me. Marc was a pure genius. The words to his songs are gorgeous. He personified pure love.

[@elisabethhopson5639]

Thanks Paul, it is sad that such a rare young talent shoul be wiped out so quickly. Marc had the most amazing voice and was truly innovative musically. His music was just as exciting and new in the same way as David Bowies was. Completely mesmerising on tv, he had an unforgettable smile. So sad that he was taken so young. How much music has been lost because Marc was not here to create and perform it? Hopefully still rocking in Heaven! 💔

[@twisttrax]

Great tribute. Bolan still rocks today listen to the hits from 1971/2/3. Genius and very influential!

[@laurainejones673]

Oh man, I just loved the 70's. Love Glam Rock. Marc was just so talented. Seen a lot of youtubers cover the crash site. But this is nicer. I don't really want to see where he lost his life . Thank you Paul, so beautifully covered , as usual .

[@M4BoarBiker]

I was born in 1961, T-Rex was the first band to introduce me to a love of music. Marc was a true trail blazer, I still love his music to this day. Thank you T-Rex.

[@GraveVisitations]

Died 1 month after elvis presley. When Elvis died, Marc Bolan said "I certainly hope I don't pop off in the next few weeks as I'll only get page 3 coverage." He died a month later in a road accident. 😮

[@MissPresley69]

Yeah, I remember that quote. Such a Marc thing to say! 😁 Miss them both. Gone too soon...😏

[@annfahy2589]

So sad❤

[@FredForeman28]

No way unbelievable

[@colinsludds9249]

So many big names died in 77

[@Ephemeral2023]

Marc did knock opera singer Maria Callas from the front page news of the day.

[@nicola6387]

I'm gutted I missed this! What a legend, taken far too young and WOW, that's a beautiful bench! Brought a tear to my eye, especially when you read out that his parents are reunited with him! God bless them all! Lovely advice at the end Paul, thank you! One of my favourite quotes to live by is from Bruce Lee, the famous water quote. For anyone who doesn't know the quote: "Empty your mind. Be formless, shapeless, like water. Now, you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup, you put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle, you put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water my friend." If we try to adapt to our surroundings and circumstances like water adapts to anything it's poured into, and make the best out of bad situations, with perseverance we can make the impossible possible. As Audrey Hepburn once said "Nothing is impossible, the word itself says "I'm possible!".

So young so sad. Thank you Paul never new the history of m b.

[@petajames4292]

So sad he was taken so young....such a talented musician. Thank goodness we still have his music x

[@TheTimmyH]

Nice vid! actually been to Golders Green Crematorium back in 2013 on a still snowy day...very dickensian. Visited Marc's plaque (can't remember the chair being there then) and many others which are there! RIP Marc.

[@kerrienash3624]

Great video Paul, especially the chat after, so true, I’m sure it resonates with a lot of people. ❤️

[@jeannettemacdonald6881]

Taken to young loved his music. Thank you Paul x ❤️

[@kickass9390]

Fabulous tribute. My favourite road trip is driving across Ireland with my T Rex music playing & me singing along like a mad one ... I was too young to appreciate him as a teen but discovered him in my 20s.

[@Cannon.7777]

It has to be said " Paul you reveal such gentle respect to all Graves. Your so in the right place for choosing this project"

[@susanthomas5464]

I was born on January 31st 1957 so I adored Marc . Always remembered😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 Thank you so much , Paul xxx

[@patriciataylor1111]

Beautiful bench carved & inscribed, amazing singer taken to soon.

[@Boogledigs]

What a beautiful bench as a tribute to Marc. Seeing his name alongside his parents is very moving. It is specially poignant that he lived such a short life and his music had just achieved such recognition when he crashed.

[@halfbakedproductions7887]

Imagine how his already glittering career would have unfolded and what lay ahead. You might use his mate David Bowie as a benchmark, also there's a clear shot of Rod Stewart in the funeral footage. Had Bolan lived he'd be 75 right now. The likes of Mick Jagger, Paul McCartney, Rod Stewart etc. are still performing and have stellar legacies behind them. Perhaps Bolan might have been the same.

[@charlottespurway912]

Rest in peace Marc Bolan and a lovely memorial bench with a swan!! Thank you Paul

[@jimmyquinn9639]

Saw him live in 74 and 76 he was brilliant 👍👍👍👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@Lilaa86]

Great video as always Paul, thumbs up. What an amazing legend gone to soon.. his wife Gloria Jones still alive 🌷

[@rickyfrost8352]

Could you imagine how many of these brilliant people would have been here today without drink and drugs. Taken too young😟. Brill again bud!! Love the positivity!!!

[@KevinJones-ye3vw]

I was seven years old when Marc sadly passed , & i can still remember it today . Yes i am a massive T-REX fan and still blast the tunes from my car today .... God bless Marc ... Thank you Paul for another great video

[@MelanieJolie]

I loved Marc Bolan when I was a child and remember my mum being so upset when he died 😢 Just above and to the left of the wall plaque tribute to Marc, I noticed a brief glimpse of a plaque dedicated to the singer Steve Conway. My grandmother loved his music. She went to as many of his performances as she could and was always so sad that he died aged only 31 in 1952 💔

[@suemckenna2430]

I had seen the crash site previously , and the plaques but first time seeing that beautifully carved bench , thanks for showing this to us Paul and taking the time at the end to reassure people who are on their own or having a bad day .

[@ronneighbour1378]

T.Rex, my absolute favourite band. I wouldn't even need to hear a song before I bought. I just needed the release date. So lucky that I saw them live just the once at the Lyceum in the Strand, London in 1976.

Marc Bolan one of the most talented musicians I was a kid when he was alive I heard him when I was like 10 years old.. It's a shame he died so tragically. Many thanks for the video clip Greetings from Germany (Wiesbaden)

[@briandoggett8651]

thanks for sharing,,,,,must say though this put a tear in my eye,,,,i grew up listening to T.REX

[@basingstoke63]

I was always a fan of Marc's . When I heard of his passing , it was like time had stood still . ( He wasn't very far from home when the crash happened ) Had he survived , I wonder what other musical treats he would have given us ? I think the best tribute , is to keep listening to his music . Nicely said and presented , Paul . RIP , Marc .

[@joypearson974]

Marc Bolan was the first live music that I saw. I was about 13 years old. Have several T-Rex albums and just loved his music. I remember being heartbroken when he died. Thank you for this one. RIP Marc.

[@Anita-sadsac61ish]

Your advice for making every day count, smell the fresh air, I'm on my own and your suggestions are brilliant Paul, thank you xx

[@sunshineofrays6977]

Love his music , was a kid when he died , glad you did this one...sad end of a talented man . Thankyou for this Paul x

I watched the Top Gun Maverick film last night and was delighted to hear a Marc track being played in the bar scene in the film, his music lives on! God bless xx

[@matthewmedley8532]

Great video. Very talented guy and a tragic ending. Great songs as well.

[@sandykenuk]

Taking me back to my happiest time in my life here Paul, loved that time in the 70s,where everyone seemed to have a smile on there faces. Loved t rex, and all the music at that time. I think it was mostly happy fun dancing music.

[@aquariusstarchild5156]

Poor Marc I never really liked glam rock but he was so talented I loved his music I have one of his songs in my head now. 💜 he was so handsome

[@shammon1]

Another great respectful clip

[@suzeiom]

Great video, thank you. Thank you also for caring about people who are lonely x

[@pauljones1350]

Yes think it’s a choker ,has always upset me when I think of sad end of Marc bolan,try to cheer up when I hear his music he was as great as Bowie .thankyou paul .they must not be forgotten.

[@wendyjones7753]

I remember that day.. the newspaper came and it was such a shock.. his car was splashed over the front page.. of course in those days us kids didn't watch the news..I loved the plaque and the seat was amazing.. after all the years gone by and still he has a great following xx r.i.p. Marc.. Paul. This was so beautiful and well presented xx

[@susanbriwn7702]

[@joeweston3252]

marc bolan and t-rex will never die out their music is special such a shame he was taken so tragically.

[@stuarttaylor3029]

Hi Paul lovely video, what an Amazingly Swan bench in selabration of Marc Bolan. It's so sad that he died so young, I enjoyed his music as a teenager and still listen to it today. Looking back the glam rock era was Incredible such an amazing time for music if only it could make a comeback! But I suppose the people that made it all possible are on longer with us.

[@ChristineRead-ck1uq]

And you've done it again and stirred some lovely memories of Marc Bolan never to be forgotten. We lived for a while in Stoke Newington in the 70s and Marc Bolan's boyhood home was just across Stoke Newington Green from us - occupied by our friends' daughter. Our little ones played together and it was a privilege to be there. Of course he was still alive then and she used to get girls hanging about outside thinking he still lived there. Funny but a nuisance sometimes!

[@MrJoebuck74]

I'm crying so hard......grazie dall'Italia - MARC BOLAN IS AN EVERLASTING STAR -

[@Ksknight100]

I remember when T-Rex were in the charts and when Marc died. I was only a child but do remember. We did some old T-Rex songs in my old band... great musician and song writer. Another excellent video, Paul. Thank you mate.

[@garygrimmett7945]

Brilliant again Paul...I am a major t.rex fan..ive visited the crash site..the tree and shrine humbling...that is...he embraced punk rock..and even invited the damned to support him on tour!!!...legend..all the best Hammergazz👍

What? I can't believe it.😯 Just when I wanted to ask you if you could visit Boley's final resting place, it shows up in my notifications. Been there many times, as I was a member of the official T. REX Fan Club. But I haven't seen this for about 30 years. A lot has changed, so thanks a lot for updating me. Great job!!! ❤️🙏❤️ Rock on🙌🌟🙌

[@helencheadle5285]

What a super guy you are too Paul….real comforting, sensible words to people watching at the end there…your right, my mother used to say “ there are no pockets in shrouds”, so we come with nothing, we leave with nothing except our memories. Life is what we make it, it doesn’t come to us, we have to get out there and find it. So many plaques there to people gone before, but it was a really beautiful bench in tribute to Marc ( someone needs to put some wood preservative on it as it’s cracking with age, but best left to whoever put it there or the cemetery people. Too beautiful to lose”. It was a strangely emotional visit..,I felt it too, in particular when I saw his parents had both died in the same year 1991, and that they were all together again. I personally don’t believe in death…I’m certain this is just a small part of our souls time, to be spent learning here, before going “into the next class” as it were..moving up all the time, but reuniting with loved ones and friends in the next stage. Life goes by so fast, especially when your older, that there has to be more. I like to think that Marc and David Bowie have met again and are making great music together again. Bless you Paul…your brilliant at taking us to these lovely peaceful places and telling us all about the person we are visiting. I hope it doesn’t bring your own mood down, by doing so, as I know from experience that it can. Take care! Stay healthy and happy! Godbless! Love Helen in NFK 🙋‍♀️😘👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Cheers Helen, I’m all good thanks 🙏
