Hi Paul, I know it looks a little sad not having a headstone for Roy, but it’s taken me this long to get just the right wording - we’ll it is going to be there for a very long time. The process of getting a headstone has now started. I’m delighted you thought Roy was one of the good guys, he certainly was very special. If you’re interested we are doing a fundraiser at the Sondheim Theatre in London on May 14th at 5pm, The Roy Huddlines with Chris Emmett, Nichola McAuliffe, Alison Steadman and Jon Culshaw. The money is going towards a statue of Roy. Sorry about Hilda barking at you!

[@UnusualThings1]

Hi Debbie, Thank you so much for getting in touch. It was a real honour for me to come and pay my respects to Roy. I completely understand regarding the headstone, I hope you don’t think I thought any different. He was such a wonderful man on the tv but obviously so much more to you and your family. What a beautiful place for Roy to be buried. Oh don’t worry about Hilda, I love dogs and was having some fun for the camera. ( My Nan was called Hilda) If I can get there that would be an honour, and would be lovely to meet you. So pleased you got to see the video and I hope I did him proud, sorry about the wind blocking some of the Audio. Kind Regards Paul. X

Lovely to hear Debbie. Roy was deeply loved and admired. May he Rest in Peace . God bless you x

Happy memories watching Roy with Jack Tripp and Geoffrey Hughes in wonderful pantomimes

[@jrbs]

He was a lovely chap. He deserves a decent headstone.

[@philipwatson7935]

That maybe a double grave with a temporary grave marker

[@lottiebelottie]

Some people let the ground settle before they put the stone down...

[@suehurrell134]

I agree where are the water rats to pay for it!

[@LynneCarolTaylor]

Wonder why his wife hasn't had a headstone put in place. That wooden Cross will rot away. He deserves better than that. RIP Roy Hudd

[@tedhuges8275]

It was probably his choice not to have a grave stone his wish more than anything else

[@UnusualThings1]

Hi Everyone, those of you asking about a headstone for Roy. I’ve had a lovely message from Debbie, and they’re sorting it out. They just wanted to make sure it had the correct writing on, which I’m sure we can all understand and appreciate. Thank you 🙏

[@sonjastanger5858]

This is beautiful ty Paul & Debbie ❤️🕊🕯🙏

[@feralcat07]

Took them long enough. Now there's a wee bit of heat applied. They come up with the foods

[@ellesee7079]

He seemed like such a great guy. I know he also archived the stars of Music Hall too, to try to make sure artists of the past were remembered. Thanks for this Paul. 👍🏻

[@arfamccann5824]

Hi Paul, I remember Roy Hudd very well. A great comedian, and actor. His take on of Flanagan + Allen, etc, wearing the big baggy coat 😃 His final resting place is in a beautifull setting, but how sad that he only has a wooden cross to mark his grave? Surely he deserves a headstone? His friends from his theatrical background could surely arrange for him to get one? RIP Roy, you brought a lot of laughter into our lives. 🙏🏼

[@arfamccann5824]

@Jack Warner Hi Jack, thanks for your reply. I know it’s approx 1 year after burial that they recommend or allow you to erect a headstone. However Roy has been gone approx 3 years now! I just thought someone of his stature would’ve had a headstone by now. Maybe it’s a family decision? Thanks for your msg.

[@charlieyerrell9146]

His radio programme was very funny, It was called news huddlines.

Hello

Nice one paul Lovely cemetery still dont really know roy only from clips i have seen on tv Glad you got inside the church So glad you did not pull on that rope Paul as always great video you looked like you enjoyed it R i p roy hudd 🥀🙏

[@1089maul]

Paul, Yet another, great, informative and respectful episode. Roy is a true legend! This was also the first episode that I have watched where you managed to get into the church! Regards, Bob

[@vetty1405]

Thanks Paul for sharing. I remember Roy Hudd in Flanagan & Allen he was also brilliant in Coronation Street. Such a great man. RIP Roy. I Hope he gets a better headstone soon, he doesn't deserve that basic wooden headstone which is badly deteriorating. Thanks again Paul keep up the great work.

[@adrianwooofine5181]

Was in Corrie in 2002 great fun thanks one again watching on repeat of Corrie at moment Roy hudd rip thank Paul 😊☺️

[@darranweston9425]

As always Paul, you go above and beyond to research and respect your subjects. It's so sad that that he has such a poor grave marker, it certainly doesn't befit someone so iconic. Rest in Peace Roy

[@davidlee6720]

some people do not want an extravagant marker on their grave or any signs of egotism

[@benjohnson3178]

It looks like a temporary marker. It can take time to get a proper headstone. I expect he'll get a proper one eventually.

[@jackflitcroft8064]

it is a temporary marker

[@thetouringcarrs9343]

We have seen Roy Hudd at Ken Dodds funeral and he was such a lovely man and an absolute gentleman God Bless him and may he rest in peace, thank you Paul for another great video and information.

[@elliottg.1954]

Thanks for another good video, Paul 👍 It's good to know where Roy is resting and it would be nice to see a gravestone. Roy was a genuinely nice bloke and a multitalented performer. He exemplified nostalgia and the Music Hall (for me and for many others), and he was also a serviceman. Roy could do comedy, drama, musicals, and he loved the theatre. He seemed to do it all with ease. Roy played Bud Flanagan in the BBC drama We're Doomed! The Dad's Army Story, about the creation of the legendary TV sitcom. He was on for just a couple of minutes but his turn had our house in tears. Worth a look. Cheers Paul and all the best.

[@trevorparfitt7511]

Many years ago I used to live quite near to Roy, in Clapham Old Town, South West London. He used to pop into the local newsagents to get his ciggies, and was a lovely gentle giant. A great entertainer, and greatly missed ! Rip Roy, and thanks.

[@markdigby6690]

Roy Hudd almost single handedly kept the stars from yesteryear Music Hall fame alive...one of the last true Variety acts ...you was guaranteed to be entertaind when he turnd up...thankfully he left a legacy of work for us to enjoy ( thanks Roy ) ime presuming here. But being as he was buried in a quaint little church yard in Suffolk.. did he live in that village?...surprising isn't it? In his working life he advertised the East end of London with such enthusiasm ..yet. here he was living in Suffolk. In a reclusive . Secluded area. ..Thanx Roy...Thankyou Paul . Another amazing revelation. And thankfully. The barking dog never ate you lol...looking forward to the next one ..( I love these )

[@Spartacus45]

I really hope there are some family members still or Roys wife who may get him a decent headstone soon? It seems sad that such a significant fella ends up with a basic wooden cross? Rest in peace Roy 🙏 and thank you Paul, awesome video as always!! 👍😉

[@Ksknight100]

Roy Hudd, another legend of British comedy and TV. Such a shame that his grave isn't properly kept or marked after 3 years. Sad. RIP Mr Hudd.

[@jackflitcroft8064]

It takes a long time to get a grave stone created and all the thought that’s goes in it

[@gailsalama]

I remember Roy Hudd in coronation Street when I used to watch it yrs ago. Thanks for another amazing video and enjoyed it.... I was secretly daring you to pull the cord for the bell in that church.... Nice church,I like I when you visit churches

[@UnusualThings1]

I did pull it, but think it’s tied off somewhere

No notification at all, again... It's why I miss so many premiers... Just glad I checked. Love your videos Paul, keep up the awesome work.

Thanks, will do! It may have been because I put it up 90 mins before it went out

[@geoffpoole483]

Hi Paul, Welcome to Suffolk. Sorry about the wind! Crowfield church is a lovely place, and unusual in its design. Roy Hudd was an actor/entertainer who seemed to have a foot in the past and a foot in the present. He donated his archive of music hall artefacts to the local further education college.

[@gel2503]

I agree with people saying sad to see Roy Hudd only has a wooden cross. This is only meant to be temporary. He deserves a headstone. He was so knowledgeable about music halls, and was such a lovely, kind, decent man.

[@leemillard5514]

Great stuff as alaways Paul god bless ya ya fella

[@jacquelinehabgood-painter8867]

A brilliant tribute to one of our finest entertainers. Not only a great comedian, but also a very knowledgable figure on music hall history. Hopefully, he'll get a better headstone than what he was initially given. God bless you Roy

[@alisonprince1102]

❤❤Thank you so much for showing the grave of Roy hudd. He was a absolutely brilliant all rounder. I loved him in every thing that he was in. Also had a many a laugh. May he rest in peace. The church looks lovely. Thank you so much for showing the church to. Thank you once again Paul ❤ ❤

[@stuarttaylor3029]

Thanks Paul, lovely insight into Roy Hudd's career, he was a great historian of the music halls and theatres of the past, very Knowledgeable and a Very Lovely guy, it's a shame that there isn't anybody else around that can tell the stories of the entertainment history and look back at the past like Roy did, the world is a sadder place without him around, knowing how loved and respected he was it sad that he hasn't got a better headstone, surely the entertainment world should get a headstone and give him the respect he deserves. RIP Roy 🙏

[@SharonHigham-jj6by]

I don’t remember which programme I watched way back that Roy used to appear in…I remember I enjoyed watching him+laughing a lot, so I clearly enjoyed watching him…may he Rest In Peace knowing how much laughter he bought to so many people!!! Keep up the good work young man…I enjoy your videos+all the information you share!!! X🙃❤️🙏🏻✝️

Great actor and great comic, come across as a down too earth man, another great generation gone. Rest in peace sir

[@gilltagg3352]

Well, that was a bonus, church, his home, one unique headstone and think the devil found your mischievous side wanting to ring that bell. I couldn’t help but chuckle through this yet again Roy Hudd always made me giggle away too. Thought this was a lovely tribute between the seriousness of remembering his life. ❤

[@johnmh1000]

A friend of mine worked (as in acted) with Roy. My friend said he was the most kindest, gentle man. He helped my friend by introductions into the theatre business. RIP Roy, you are missed.

Thanks paul roy was a silly comic he made it look so silly he was so funny great vedio loved it roy was sure one generous gentleman rip roy 👍👍👍

[@dryflyman7121]

Thank you again Paul, what a beautiful place to be laid to rest.. I loved Roy Hudd and listened to the Hudd lines on the radio every week. He was a very clever and funny man unlike many today who just try to be funny by being outrageous. He was also a very good actor. I really do prefer radio comedy, the Hudd Lines, the Navy Lark and many others. I can still remember the Billy Cotton Band-show every Sunday lunchtime long before we had a television ! Cheers 👍

At the beginning of this episode, just a few seconds in, you said that "you always wanted to pull one of these". Meaning the colorful rope.

[@robertstancer4469]

Thankyou for taking my comments on board that i posted on your David Frost video. Why people are buried in a certain parts of the country does add colour to their story. The reason being is that many come from a world of celebrity or science both nationally and internationally. Many are in films, the theatre or in tv. Forever in your homes or the public eye via the tv. Yet......they find a small, unassuming, quiet part of the world to hang their hat. No grand headstone them. Roy's grave is a classic example that if you didn't know he was there you are just as likely to walk past him. It is for this reason Paul that i watch your channel.

[@PeteT-c5t]
