Keith Floyd made a great programme about making christmas turkey. In my country turkey is not a tradition, but still I got standing ovations for my first ever christmas turkey dinner made accoring to Keith's recipe.

[@Oscarspaw1971]

So sad to see the state of this great man's grave. He was the man who got me hooked on cooking,made it so interesting and enjoyable. I'm not a chef but I love cooking because of this man. Thank you so much for repairing his stone. God bless you my man.

[@RockyValentino2013]

What a lovely gesture Rufus!

[@petersutton2182]

You gave it justice, well done!

[@trevorrobinson8577]

A very informative and interesting video. Keith was an all time favourite TV chef of mine through the time he graced our screens with his personality and wit. How nice of you Rufus to tidy his gravestone. Well done mate...🙂

[@johnd1432]

Hi, I'm watching from St Petersburg, Florida, USA. What a wonderful tribute, and such a kind gesture bringing Keith's final resting place the attention it's so rightly deserves. 👏 As I believe I've heard quoted on British television, 'Good on you!' I first saw Keith Floyd on our Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) and although I've never really cooked in my life I was hooked immediately! How could you not be? His spontaneity, wit, and humor were the perfect mix! As many have said, you never knew what was going to happen next - what a great ride. Often, I felt I was right there with Keith in the moment. Very nice job, Rufus! 💞

[@rosemariemckinley7326]

You are a amazing human being. I'm very touched by your kindness.

[@rufusgazelle]

Thank you for watching 😊🙏🏻

[@magesterium2485]

How kind of u Rufus to show some loving care to the final resting place of Keith Floyd. It is so sad that no relatives bother to bring fresh flowers and tend the grave.

[@annekewn8930]

That was a beautiful respectful thing you did what a kind person you are xx

[@junelaw4162]

What a very kind man you are it looks lovely now he drank more than what he used bless him RIP Keith ❤ till the next one 13:08

[@keithmiller322]

You did do it justice, well done, another great video, thank you.

[@Lynsey1975]

So lovely your tribute and that was so good of you to clean up the grave stone.

[@Horizon344]

Fantastic gesture on yr part in cleaning the headstone & placing those well selected flowers, it looked 100x better. It's a shame how we neglect our graves in this country, & they're left to fall into a rough state like this. There's something off in our relationship with graves & how they're just abandoned & forgotten about like this after a burial by families

[@petersumner7367]

I was head chef at his previous restaurant in Chandos Road in Bristol, his son came in for dinner once.

[@rf5210]

What a lovely video and a nice man you are. Thank you mate. I am sure Keith would appreciate it. Who wouldn't..

[@charlottespurway912]

Nice headstone and petty flowers and rest in peace Keith!!! 👼🙏

[@jeanlind7540]

I liked his reference to his cremation as cooking with leaves, reminds me of Spike Milligan’s I told you I was ill. Thank you for caring about him, it doesn’t look as if anyone else does.

[@CathyTx2001]

Love the intro music ❤Love the cemetery you visited. I like your style in presenting graves of others. When I find the time after the holidays I'll be sure and binge-watch your videos!

[@rufusgazelle]

Thank you Cathy 😊🙏🏻♥️

[@thekinglovely3902]

Was so sad to see the stone as it was, you certainly picked me up though with your efforts to clean it, thanks so much, and thanks Keith👑🍷

[@bowlingbill9633]

Mmm soon forgotten. Thank you for cleaning and putting flowers on pity his family cant do the same !

[@herridge819]

Just found your channel! Keith was certainly a flamboyant character. It was good of you take some time and trouble to attend to the gravestone. Thanks for the video.

[@rufusgazelle]

Thank you for watching - how did you come across it? 😊🙏🏻

[@GregGNP]

Good job Rufus. It looks much better and you certainly did it justice 👍

[@martinqualters608]

Just stumbled across you video and loved it. Keith Floyd TV shows were some of the best, not only of cooking programs but of any TV. You are very respectful and sensitive in your delivery. Subscribed....just off to view more of your excellent content.

Hello from Australia ! Rufus your a real gent. I've noticed your gaining confidence in making your videos. Your doing a great job 👍 Merry Christmas 🎄

[@kingstonblack3880]

Well done. Well done indeed.

[@EnglishGrave]

I feel you are increasing your creativity, not including your confidence. Also, lovely music at the beginning, good work and keep going ;-).

[@rosemariemckinley7326]

My first video of yours. Thank you for sharing.

[@ilanarhian]

Thanks for that, used to watch him a lot with my parents, my dad in particular was a big fan. I also saw the documentary with Keith Allen and was upset to see how frail he looked.

[@shaunwild8797]

While we all watched and loved his shows his family and daughter didn't think very highly of him. I should imagine he wasn't the easiest person to be around.

[@christinecoleman415]

What a wonderful thing to do to clean the headstone of Keith Floyd and of course i enjoyed your video and all the others you have done, and i wish you a Very Merry Christmas and Happy NEW Year.

[@rufusgazelle]

He was cremated at Golders Green - don’t think there is a plaque there unfortunately….

[@jeanlind7540]

What a great idea!!

[@paulrogers5326]

Brillant job on grave stone get on you ☺

[@sueamos3860]

[@LazyDays26]

Has anyone told you that you look a bit like James Corben? I Bet someone has 😃 Anyway apart from that and what you did in the end if your vist nice one and much respect to you.

[@rufusgazelle]

Many times 🤣

[@DerekCOLIN-8150]

Speak normally… Keep your voice down… Be respectful… Dress appropriately…no pop ups in the corners of the screen…and don’t disrespect the gravestone, it’s not your job, you are not family…

[@rufusgazelle]

I think your comment says a lot more about you then it does me….

[@stephengraham5099]

I agree only with one of your comments. His voice is rather loud.

[@rufusgazelle]

@@stephengraham5099 well aware of how loud I speak, sometimes I forget how good the mic is when I have traffic behind me… something I’m working on…
