Tommy Cooper's Grave - Famous Graves

[@jonnycooper233]

Hi. This is John Cooper, nephew of Tommy. Thank you for the video and kind words. I used to love going to visit Tommy at his house in Chiswick. As youngsters Vikki and Thomas, my sister Sabrina and I would have fun playing. I used to pick Tommy up as an adult to bring him to family functions. We would stop and many pubs on the way back to our home in Cookham. He loved meeting people in the pubs and making them laugh. At my first wedding, he had the waiters in stitches plus all our guests. After Gran died, Tommy died followed by his son Thomas, my cousin. I remember the press headlines of the COOPER CURSE. Then my father died so I decided best get out of the UK and moved to South Africa ( so far so good ). Sadly my sister Sabrina was murdered in Eastbourne last year which has left another hole in the family. Anyway, very proud to be related to Tommy and may his memory be a lasting legacy for comedy forever.

[@UnusualThings1]

Hi Johnny, thank you so much for your kind words. Growing up, Tommy had our family in stitches all the time. He was an amazing talented and funny man. I’m so sorry to hear about your sister. That’s very sad news. Sending thoughts to you and your family after dealing with such a tragic event. I tell a few victim of crimes stories and they always leave me feeling so sad for the families as well as the victims. Thank you once again, much appreciated. Paul. 🙏

I still remember that awful night ,I was only 7 at the time. I watched the show with my parents who were huge fans, we all thought it was part of the act then I remember my mum saying there was something wrong then we saw the newsflash. He had that natural ability to make people cry with laughter, lovely man much missed. Bless him .

[@markbumford8076]

The only comedian who could bring the whole audience to fits of laughter without saying or doing anything. The world became colder on the night he passed away and I am sure like so many miss him dearly and always will. I was thinking the exactly the same thing as you Paul that this hugely talented man who taught the world to laugh that his final resting place seems totally inadequate?

Tommy Cooper owned a holiday cottage in Motcombe Lane, Ocklynge - probably only half a mile or so from where you were stood next to his gravestone. Against the wall of that cottage can be seen a wrought iron black metal silhouette of the great comedian - complete with fez and magic wand. I know it so well as my grandmother had a cottage near by.

I will always remember this master of comedy as a child watching on a b/w tv set ,my father was a quiet man and never really showed his emotions apart from comedy shows of the 60/70’s his favourite was Tommy made my dad laugh and that’s the memory I cherish so god bless this genius of comedy .

[@Kari_B61ex]

I met Tommy when I was about 10 or 11. His relative (I called her Aunty Vi) lived 2 doors away from us in Exeter. She invited us for Sunday tea, when he was visiting her - she knew that my Dad was a fan. My dad was crying with laughter as he performed some of his 'magic tricks' "Just like that"... and I was mostly oblivious and enjoying jelly and ice cream. I can remember that Aunty Vi actually resembled Tommy (she was 6ft tall) and her husband was a very slight man of about 5ft 5. RIP Tommy and Aunty Vi.

[@astonmartin8706]

Yes I watched it too thinking it was part of the act - Cooper had an act which would sometimes be unpredictable and he would ad Lib so it’s understandable the audience was laughing as he collapsed that fateful night on stage . There was no social media then and it wasn’t until the late news that Sunday night and the newspapers the following day that we had any inkling as to what had happened to him. So sad but he gave people so much fun and joy in his act . He’s up there with Kenneth Williams, Frankie Howard and Benny Hill in my book

A true legend that used to have me and my family is stitches of laughter back in the 70's. His style was totally unique, an ability to make people laugh without seeming to even try. A comedy genius. We were blessed with so many comedy greats in that era, and Tommy was up there with the best of them. I wondered why his memorial was looking so 'old', it then dawned on me that 40 years have passed since his death. Thank you Tommy for all the real belly aching laughs you gave to me and my family all those years ago.

Thankyou Paul for the tour .Tommy was one of the reasons I have been practising magician for many years now. I went through a stage where I tried to copy his style, but there was no way, he was one of a kind, an amazing entertainer and magician. Doctor it hurts when I do that. Then don't do it ! That type of class comedy these days are unfortunately a very rare thing. I remembered seeing his last performance on tv, and yes if he was to go, then be it on stage where he was happy. Great memories and never forgotten. Rest big man.

Huge memory for me as a 12 yr old at the time and loved tommy cooper. I was sent to stay with family in slough due to the death of my father in 1974, and stayed just along the road from his shop. I went in the shop (like an aladdins cave to a child) in the hope of seeing him and bought a bulb that would light up when a ring on your finger touched it...I was served by his brother who looked so much like him. Never got to meet tommy though...But will never forget it.

I was at the theatre where Eric Morecambe collapsed and died. We had been laughing almost hysterically when a stage hand asked if there was a doctor in the audience.

[@gingerninjawhinger9986]

Tommy Cooper was a legend in his own lifetime. He was an extremely funny man - although I didn't appreciate his humour until I was a lot older - he only had to walk on stage and the audience fell about laughing; his tricks nearly always went wrong, which is the mark of a true genius. He died doing what he loved doing the most: entertaining and making his audience laugh; such a sad way to go, but most fitting. R.I.P. Tommy 🕯

[@frankshailes3205]

Of course he had to learn the magic tricks to perfection before he could make them go wrong amusingly. And he was in the Magic Circle. There's a clip I recently saw of him on Parkinson, I think it is, absolutely bamboozling the host with the vanishing/multiplying balls trick. A consummate entertainer, totally brilliant.
