Ken Dodd's Grave - Famous Graves

[@rachelmiller764]

I recently visited Sir Matt Busby and L.S. Lowrys graves in Southern Cemetery, Manchester. Lowrys grave had a pot full of paintbrushes which was a lovely sight to see

[@SiRhodesDriverTraining]

I’ve been to those also. Lowry’s is very understated, as I think he is buried with his parents, but the paintbrushes are a lovely touch. Quite a few famous graves in Southern, including Tony Wilson the TV presenter & music producer.

[@PhilipDoyle-t8e]

The one liners in a minute,amazing,he,s sorely missed by millions,singer,commedian,etc etc etc,he even joked about his tax,that was so funny.

[@PeterBolt-q5v]

Thank you Paul. Really appreciate the site .

My mum loved Kenny, she went up to his stage shows in London many times. A lovely man - RIP KD.

I met Ken Dodd many years ago at a Christmas service at Liverpool Cathedral. He was sneaking out with his tweed coat over his head, i said Hello Ken mate sneaking out are you yeh' he said certainly young man, And shook my hand as he was leaving. He was an amazing Comedian and lived in Knotty Ash all his life, when he could have lived anywhere. "A Real Scouser" RIP Ken Dodd 🙏🕊.

[@maryjanefletcher7925]

My sister and I went to the Theatre in Wimbledon to see his show. After 21/2 hours he left the stage and we thought that was it. He had several times made comments that you won’t be saying that when you are still here later. Thinking it was the end of the show my sister and I and several others got up to leave. That was when the theatre staff started giving out papers with the times of trains and buses later that night, so, we sat back down for the second half. It was after midnight when he finally said goodnight and we made our way to the car park, hoping our car was not locked inside. Fortunately it wasn’t. A great show. We hoped he would come back for another show. Sadly it wasn’t to be. 😢 ❤❤

I love Ken's humour. It was a clever form of innocent wit that was never nasty. he was a family entertainer of the highest calibre. RIP Ken.

[@jamesmcbride6304]

Total master of his trade, very funny man and he could sing as well, good all rounder. thanks for this paul.

[@Suecutler86]

I had the pleasure of seeing Ken Dodd at his last ever concert in December 2017 he was an amazing performer and a lovely man. I lived 5 minutes from his knotty ash home up until last year. I was absolutely heartbroken when he passed, we will never see anyone like him again 💔

[@shaunphillips8207]

God bless u sir ken Dodd a total legend and still makes me laugh 😃

Looking forward to this one.

[@andrewbritten9097]

I Recently Bought a Ken Dodd CD For My Dads Birthday, I Listened to it with My Dad Because That was the First Time, I'd Listened to Kenn Dodds songs, and my Favourite Ken Dodd song is Happiness.

[@tracywarden477]

I saw Ken Dodd at the local social club for my 18th birthday. He got me up on the stage and sang to me. Before returning to my seat he told me to call him "Uncle Doddy". To this day I always refer to him as Uncle Doddy. He was a very funny man with a huge heart and warm personality. He is missed so much. R.I.P Sir Ken.

[@ashdrive]

When I saw him on 'An Audience With' I thought what an amazing entertainer, the best I've seen. I so wanted to see him live, but never did....

[@joeweston3252]

Thanks

[@robdodd4591]

Remember him dearly. As his namesake I used to be called a diddyman at school. And the amount of people asking where my "tickling stick" was :) Thankyou for a respectful tribute to a wonderful man.

[@garysmith291]

They never be other sir Ken dodd,he was the best and we love him.xxxxxx

Thanks again Paul for another great video.

[@josephallington6838]

Had the pleasure of seeing him twice. Fantastic comedian and a lovely grave.

[@jacquelineharrod6386]

A wonderful comedian, and a lovely man. My most favourite memory is his beating a large drum, while singing "Silent Night". RIP

[@susansavage6335]

Love this I walk past Kens house daily taking my dog for a walk and walk over the jam butty mines. Remember seeing him in the early 70's Christmas panto and later on doing his adult show he never finished on time always ran over time. My Uncle was friends with his brother who was a bin man. R.I.P Doddy

[@paulmorgan464]

Ken Dodd had the most beautiful voice love listening to him.

[@grahamwarnes7147]

Lots of laughter is an understatement he was absolutely brilliant all of the comedy greats are gone but memories live on🙏❤️

[@philipcorrigan507]

Thank you for a Great interesting Video.

[@michaelharrison9210]

Sir Ken Dodd was a marvellous singer. Very talented, and a down to earth kind of man. Greatly missed

[@sandradring6265]

I have to admit I wasn’t a big admirer of Ken, but I was given two tickets to see him in the early nineties . I was in mind wether to go or not but decided, yes I’ll go I might enjoy him. Enjoy him I did ! He was such a funny man and had me in stitches! He went on for ages with his show , over running for at least and hour. I went to the first showing and when I left, the second showing people were queuing waiting in the cold. But believe me, he was worth waiting for. So forgive me Ken for not liking you all those year before, and thank you for cheering me up that evening and making me laugh so much.🙂

[@mumofthree1484]

Saw Ken Dodd twice and both times we went in the theatre in the day and came out in the night ,he used to run over,my mum loved him ,my dad drew a picture when he died and it was attached to his gate on all videos and news programmes ,we are so proud of this fact .My sister met him just before he died in hospital and said he was lovely

[@jonathanhunter2726]

ken dodd was a very awesome comedian am sure that he spent most of his time in the stand up career and he did films aswell as the tv i am sure but i may be wrong :)😮

[@johnrobinson1020]

A true stand-up comic made you laugh your head off with no swearing or filthy jokes like some of the so-called comedians of today rely on to get a laugh. One of the best and such a shame also one of the last great entertainers to grace any stage or theatre. Ken Dodd made millions of people laugh; he was certainly One of a kind and the world is worse off without him. Thank you Sir Ken for all those years of laughter and happiness you gave so many people for so many years. I have lived through your era and it was a great era to live through; it has been my pleasure to see you on many occasions and experience firsthand your great talent. R.I.P.

[@suetodd1725]

Brilliant voice,I have his box collection CDs,also one of the best comedians we had,no one could beat him,so witty,and funny,loved him,xxxx

[@OscarLodge]

Thanks for another informative talk and look around,.. we saw Ken on stage only once and having many of his cassettes - thought we'd know all his routine,. but no,.. it was all brand new material,. clean - hilarious gags and stories,.. a true entertainer.

[@BlytheWorld1972]

Not many people you can truly say were a legend but he was he could do a full 2 hour show and really make you laugh he was not smutty or dirty he was funny anyone could watch him .. his tv specials were superb i have some on dvd and often watch Ken dodd made Liverpool proud i adore him. rip Ken.

[@annettewalker3309]

loved ken Dodd but those diddymen used to give me nightmares. He did have a wicked sense of humour. Once again a great video of one of the comedy masters thanks Paul x

I saw Ken Dodd on stage in Bradford at St George's Hall around 2013/14. He was great. He got the audience going, funny and it was a good night. An excellent singing voice

[@TheRealist2022]

I was fortunate to meet Sir Ken and Lady Dodd, when they broke down on the M62 motorway. It was 11th October 2014 at 7pm. I imagine he was on his way to a gig somewhere. Had a good old chinwag with Ken and his fiance, Anne. Lovely guy, lovely lady

[@juliefarnworth9172]

I'm 57 but loved this man.i thought his singing was so lovely n he made you feel really happy with his jokes.rip you lovely humble soul. Thanks Paul.x

[@BentzensEmporium]

My comedy hero. Saw him the year before he passed for the final time in Southport. Started at 7.30pm and finished at midnight. He sold millions of records, knocking the Beatles off the top of the charts. There will never be another Doddy.

Hi Paul, thank you for this video, I loved Ken Dodd and he came to my city of Wolverhampton many times. The duster object was known as his "Tickling Stick". RIP Sir Ken and thank you for the laughter. Take care Paul.

[@nl4064]

Happiness is his legacy. no foul crass or shouting , just good honest from the heart comedy from a genius comedian who loved and was loved back form the people

[@LadyGmarilyn]

I think the words, "Tickling Stick", or "Feather Duster" are what you were searching for 😃. I loved Ken Dodd, especially his singing voice, it had a pathos that used to make me cry. My friend's Mum saw him on stage many times, he used to go on for hours, sometimes it was 2am or 3am when she got home. She used to go and see him after the show, she said he was wonderful. We shan't see his like again. Thank you for this post.

[@benmurphy59]

Hi Paul I thank you for sharing your Respect for Ken Dodd from Ben Murphy from Manchester

[@markbumford8076]

I was lucky enough to see Ken Dod in the mid 70's in Scarborough and my dear dad with his weak bladder had to keep getting up during the performance and ever time Ken was on him in a blink of an eye and peppered my poor dad with his skilled one liners! I believe the show finally stopped at around 12:15 am and as a ten year old it was almost magical ✨️

[@MrPhilreilly]

I saw Ken Dodd in Blackpool. I'm not saying the show was long, but I think if he wasn't dead, I would still be there!!

[@grahamhill2267]

I saw Ken when he came to do a show at the Corporals Club at RAF Valley, Anglesey in 1987 when I served in the RAF. My group of colleagues, wives and friends were seated at 7pm, he was due on stage at 9pm. However there was no sign of him at that time, we thought it was a no show but his pianist/organist was there and said he was on his way. Unbeknown to us all, he was famous for stopping off at pubs on his way to venues for a quick pint. Anyway at 11pm he arrived and came on stage at about 11:20pm, needless to say everyone in our small club was canned up by that time. But he came on stage and did an unforgettable show. He didn’t finish until around 3:30am. After the show, he stayed around till about 4:30am signing autographs and chatting with people that had stayed. He was then whisked away by his chauffeur! A thoroughly nice man sadly missed! I remembered him well from my childhood in the 60’s and growing up, he was always “there”.

[@Mortthemoose]

What a great story! Thanks

[@annhomer3605]
