Approx 25 years ago, I was on a show called, INFATUATION, which was to be a rival to Blind Date, hosted by an American tv host called Bob Eubank. On our show Peter Stringfellow was a star / celebrity guest. After the show, Peter gave all the contestants (10 of us) VIP passes to his club in London. On our arrival the following week end, ha gave each couple their own private table, with a bottle of champagne. He was a very down to earth guy, and made us all welcome. It was a lovely gesture! Many thanks Pete. RIP. 🙏🏼

[@karlunknown4657]

I can attest Peter was a gentleman. I was a serving soldier based in London and he regularly invited us lads down to his club. If you could prove you were a serving soldier and were well behaved you got a table and a load of heavenly money to get a few dances.

[@sinord5288]

He was a Sheffielder that’s why. Most Sheffielders are like that.

Met Peter at his club in London what a great guy who treated everyone with respect and always looked after his customers.

[@paulmaguire2714]

Same,agree with you entirely.

[@ginnybloomer5132]

He was a lovely man. So down to earth, well mannered and friendly.

[@mrjohn.whereyoufrom]

What a fabulous, beautiful spot. After decades in the night club scene I don't think anyone can blame Peter for wanting somewhere peaceful and tranquil.

[@The_Prophet...]

Or mibbi that's his favourite dogging place

[@rachelmayes298]

What a beautiful place to be buried. It’s like Terry Wogan, and Caroline Flacks burial places. Thank you Paul ❤

[@justinelynch5816]

I dint beleive thanks should be given. Peter requested privacy for his family following his death

[@bobbojones8157]

I met him very briefly right there at the burial ground a year or so before he died . He attended a funeral that I’d attended .

[@nickfrost130]

I met Peter in 1986, I was in the Royal Navy and he invited several members of the ship’s company to visit stringfellows in New York. Great host and had a terrific time. 👌

[@JET_60]

What a lovely peaceful place to be buried. Good on Peter for wanting to be there. No big posh headstone or anything. Just stripped right back to nature. Nice & simple. Beautiful place to be buried. Seemed a really nice guy. R.I.P Peter. 💐🌳

[@ellesee7079]

What a beautiful spot. Thanks for taking us along Paul. I'd love to be put somewhere like that. No mess, no fuss, just going back to nature! You would think after the life he led, he might've wanted something different, but RIP Peter. Nice choice.

[@justinelynch5816]

No. No thanks for being taken to his resting place. Peter requested peace & privacy for his family

[@BunyanaRed1958]

I liked Peter. He had a good sense of humour and he loved what he did in life. What more could one want.

[@nicole-louisastevens7885]

Wow! Looks lovely there 👌 .. R.i.p Peter stringfellows 🥰 what a guy 🙏 😉

[@GeorgiePotter]

I didn't even know Peter Stringfellow was no longer with us tbh! Out of all the Places of rest that has been visited on this Channel, I think this one has to be the most beautiful.

[@kate_cooper]

I’d never heard of natural burial spots before but it looks like they’re very good for the environment and a peaceful place to visit. Good on Peter for wanting something like that. I was honestly expecting a gold plated headstone or something. May he rest in peace amongst nature.

[@50sRockChick]

Take a look at the Caroline Flack video Paul has done. Hers was in a similar place. Very peaceful.

[@gaillaffer7579]

We buried my Dad at Greenacres Epping Forest. This looks very similar. It’s the most beautiful place.

[@kate_cooper]

@@gaillaffer7579 That sounds really nice, good choice.

[@maxine3587]

You can have a woodland burial and have a tree planted in the person's memory. There are some beautiful, natural places that are allowing burials.

[@johnryder8464]

Nothing wrong with traditional burials either unless you're a green lunatic 🙄

[@sarasutton2631]

I worked at Stringfellows as a dancer for many many years . Was a great ( the best) place to work by far and Peter was always a wonderful host and lovely gentleman. I miss those days and will cherish those memories forever. RIP Peter 😔🙏

[@Misagonna88]

Pete or “Stringy” as we knew him to be, was a lovely man. I knew him through my friend working for him. The first night I met him he was wearing a long, blue, velvet jacket with his hair wild. It was 1998, and he was a gentleman. At this point, he had a flat upstairs at Stringfellows Covent Garden. I was 18, and he was sweet and kind. He had a much younger girlfriend who he adored, but he wasn’t a letch. He had a guy working for him who used to play “Brian Tisley” in Coronation Street, who was a letch and a pig!!! He was the perv and I don’t know what happened there but hey ho. Rest in eternal peace Stringy. You made us smile

[@sandykenuk]

Can't wait for this one, I use to work for him, at the millionaire club. Which was in Manchester as a DJ.

[@markstevenson7577]

A sheffield geezer aswell, thanks for your dedicated work Paul much appreciated mate.

[@sunnysideup73]

I used to own a card and balloon shop. We got a phone call one day from Peter Stringfellows personal assistant. She said she was calling on behalf of Peter Stringfellow and wished to order balloons for delivery. I said "yes of course he does" just to add, I live in Dorset. I then put the phone down thinking it was a prank. The lady called back, it turns out, Peters wife Bella, had a sister who lived down the road from my shop and Peter wanted to send a huge bouquet of balloons with a card for Bellas Nephew on his birthday. I no longer have my shop but I still live in the area, and I still balloon decorate, and to this day, Peters assistant still phones me to order balloons to be delivered.

[@UnusualThings1]

Awesome story, thank you 🙏

[@MLVL312]

When I lived in the U.S. I had the pleasure of meeting Peter at his opening of his new club in Beverly Hills L.A. I had a few drinks and was talking a bit he listened patiently and was very respectful he was a very nice guy R.I.P. Peter

[@simonhodgkinson1972]

Stringfellows wasn't always that type of club. For years it was a high class haunt of the rich and famous. I worked at the hippodrome and we were allowed to go to strigngfellows on our nights off. I got the job because I was close mates with one of Peter's nephews and still am. In fact seeing this just reminded me to reply to a text I had off him yesterday! Great memories.

[@harrypalmer7169]

He was a polarizing character. He took his chances in life and enjoyed the fruits of his labour. This World needs some colourful characters to stop us all turning beige.

[@kayjackson3888]

He was certainly a very charismatic character, a good choice to show our respects to Peter

[@anthonymcadams8313]

It was a good back story that, it felt quite haunting when you reached the spot where Peter is buried, I was expecting a grave full of flowers because of how flamboyant Peter was.

[@sandraottway7859]

Wow, from such humble beginnings to a multi millionaire business man, thanks Paul, really enjoyed this one. The place is so beautiful.

[@davidthompson4934]

I went to Stringfellows in Leicester Square London during the late 1980's. The atmosphere was buzzing and there were beautiful women everywhere I looked. I was in my late 20's.

[@grazer2003]

Amazing that such a very wealthy guy like Peter chose such a place to be buried. It demonstrates what a really down to earth guy, excuse the pun, he really was, not wanting the glitz and glamorization of a posh graveyard and gravestone.

[@crystaldance5731]

So pleased your mum bought you a coat looks good Peter stringfellow didn’t realise he had gone bet he had an amazing life god bless him thankyou Paul much love xxx

[@KyloNight]

So nice seeing all the positive comments about him! I never knew his story, so thank you for the info. He really made a life for himself and what a beautiful resting place. Really sounds like just an ordinary man who lived an extraordinary life.

[@albertcross4275]

Ps, was a good person. God bless him. ❤️❤️❤️🇫🇷

[@howdan1985]

My dad and I met Peter out in Mallorca (where he had a villa) and we became good friends with him, often going out in his boat or having breakfast at Flintstones Café in Portals Nous. He was so kind, funny and down to earth and I'll be forever grateful to him for giving me a Stringfellows Membership Card for my birthday. RIP true gentleman.

[@suegoulding1341]

I met Peter and he really was a lovely person. What a beautiful place to end up... quite magical.

I went to the Millionaire Club in Manchester in the 70s, it was amazing. If you could afford a meal you were treated like a VIP. I will never forget the memories of the visit. It was brilliant.

[@gayehardman]

I worked at The M8llionnaire club in Manchester in the 70s whilst a student. He seemed a really nice guy love your channel BTW. Discovered it by chance after visiting a freinds grave at southern cemetery in manchester and being shown nearby graves of sir matt Busby and Anthony h Wilson (mr manchester and broadcaster and founder member of factory records..,very famous in the north west) looking forward to seeing this new video so much x

I was on a city break in London with my husband, can't quite remember the year but Peter walked past us on the street and gave me a big smile and a wink 😉

[@junelaw4162]

Wow did not know he’d died RIP ❤

[@recurvearcher6542]

Hi Paul, Thank you. Amazing life, born from humble beginnings often the case. Not surprised he died from lung cancer, clubs in those days you could smoke, so workers of these clubs breathed it all night, every night. Certainly left no petrol in the tank, die at 90mph with his hair on fire. Great Posts

[@jeffreyconrad8125]

Hi thanks for a very interesting video 20 years ago my then girlfriend and now still friend Zara worked as a dancer at his club in london she had nothing but good words for peter a lovely man and total gentleman r.i.p

Hi yea Paul, I didn’t realize that Peter stringfellow had passed away , fab location .

Knew him as a friend through my restaurant business and likewise visiting him at his wonderful club ❤️ RIP PS💐

[@augustsky6248]

I went to both Stringfellows and the Hippodrome in London several times and met Peter Stringfellow, on one occasion Kikki Dee was there and Princesses Diana's brother Earl Spencer was dancing the night away. It was a very elegant club but didn't have the same vibe as the Hippodrome, Heaven and Bolts this is where you partied, takes a look back at Eighties London. High Camp and New Romantics evolved from popular music culture..

[@ericka8440]

Beautiful. What a life, but very simple grave. Rest in peace. ❤️

Can you cover Richard Wright of Pink Floyd and Syd Barratt soon? This was well up to standard. Well done.

[@toddscollectibles980]

I did in fact go to Stringfellows in London. We had a special invite to his 50th birthday party. Free pink Champagne ( and other drinks) all night. He was very friendly and made effort to make sure everyone had a good time. It was the only time I meet Peter and was very impressed with the party. Mostly it was couples, so no goings on that night lol. Great video as always 👍 keep them coming.

[@TheFoxyb]

Well I'm pleased to see from the comments that he was well liked. We were distantly related which I found through researching my family tree. He wouldn't have known of us. He died a month after Dad. I can only assume he wasn't flavour of the month with my great aunt!

[@UnusualThings1]

Yes it sounds like he was a lovely man… 🙏

[@david-pb4bi]

He wasn’t a very nice person, had extreme right wing views.

[@DjMossy]

@@david-pb4biso you never met him. But your going to judge him on his views that differ from yours?

[@david-pb4bi]

@@DjMossy Why are you talking nonsense? He was on the television most weeks pushing his extreme right wing views, if you can’t dislike somebody for their views what can you dislike them for?

[@mariahollis4061]

That is the perfect place to be buried. So natural. I would love to be buried somewhere like that.

[@mikeatcora]

I've been a DJ for 34 years, working in the nightclub industry is a real joy, creating memorable events and just being the one that makes special memories for other people as I create memories for doing it. I made some tapes of some of my nights working the clubs in the 90's and can be there again in an instant with those tapes, it was hectic and I understand why he wanted that peaceful area to be laid to rest, it's exhausting making so much happiness for others which is exactly what he did. RIP Peter and thanks for the fun.

[@peteanderson5170]

Thanks Paul, what a lovely setting to have for a final resting place. Myself and my wife visited Stingfellows in London while still buzzing after having managed to get a table in the Ivy, where we were both in awe of who we saw there, so it was a bit of an evening of celebrity hangouts for us. Absolutely great.

[@AdamC66]

Love the humility and modesty of the place and those that chose to go there

[@raymondlee4767]

He was a showman that's for sure, very interesting video Paul.

[@marcellosgarbini759]

Oh no,I didn't realise he passed R.I.P. Can't wait to see. Thanks.

[@spinder1712]

Excellent video but for me his best period was missed out. After the Black Cat closed he went on to open the Mojo where loads of great bands played at the start of there fame, even Hendrix. After that he opened Down Broadway and then the Penthouse before moving up to Leeds and opening 2 clubs Cinderella's and Rockefellers , his first venture into the glamour world. During the time of Broadway and Penthouse I got to know Pete quite well as he managed the local band I was with at the time, his brother Paul even roadied for us for a while. What is not recognized enough is the massive influence and impact he had on local music scene and beyond. What I can say is he was nothing like his public persona during his London days, he was a really nice man who helped out many people.

What a great video. Such a beautiful place. Thanks Paul 😊

[@justinneill5003]

Peter Stringfellow, what a fascinating character with a genuine, classic rags to riches back story. Makes you reflect on how a simple twist of fate can change your whole life direction; if he hadn’t been caught flogging those stolen carpets everything else would almost certainly never have happened, although I suspect there was something inside him that would have found another route to success. I watched an interview where he said he lost faith in God when his mother died of lung cancer. It’s a cruel irony that he lost his own life the same way, but I believe God understands us better than we do ourselves (disagree if you want but please don’t shoot) and I hope he has now found peace, reunited with his mum and other loved ones. 🙏

[@patriciataylor1111]
