The Grave of Sir Alec Guinness - Star Wars Obi-Wan Kenobi, The Bridge on the River Kwai. Petersfield

[@GregGNP]

A great actor. I found it interesting how such a Global movie star has such a simple / humble resting place tucked away in a quiet corner.

[@CathyTx2001]

Thanks again, Rufus! He was indeed a great actor.

One of the greatest british actors - and certainly one of all-time favorites - especially in his role in 'Tunes of Glory', Ice Cold in Alex and of Lawrence of Arabia. What a great man

[@cbcb102]

Thank you Rufus

[@keithmiller322]

Once again a brilliant video, many thanks. Why don't his family get a new headstone for him and his wife as the present one's appear to be well worn ?

[@rufusgazelle]

Yes I have to agree, but we have to take into consideration the distance & location to where they call home. All it needs is the lettering touching up.

[@mildandbitter]

Sir Alec lived about 100 metres from the Harrow Inn a faboulous 16th century run by the same family since 1932. They would deliver Sir Alec his lunch when he was home but sometimes Lady Merula would collect it.

[@rufusgazelle]

Thanks for sharing- love hearing about things like this 👍🏼

[@alexgifford45]

I know that pub! Do you know if the Guiness house is still there? I think it was on Kettlebrook Meadows but there's nothing visible from the road other than an old stone that has "Kettlebrook Meadow" written on it.

[@mildandbitter]

Yes it is. you walk about 150 yards down Harrow Lane past the pub, the road is a dead end.@@alexgifford45

You know that the film Jaws used a boat called the Orca. There were two made. One was the sunken one which was left on an estuary beach for years until someone revealed its location and then it slowly started to vanish splinter by splinter and plank by plank. Hopefully this doesn't happen to Obi-Wan Kenobi's grave. Interesting video.

[@CRISIS550166]

I think you made an error on the date he was knighted...

[@rufusgazelle]

What date did I say?

[@rufusgazelle]

Just rewatched, no mistake made. I said 1959 which is the correct year.

[@Da1Dez]

How would people feel if someone left a lightsaber toy at the grave I wonder?

[@rufusgazelle]

I don’t Alec Guinness would be overly impressed…

[@ianchalklin2756]
