Freds friend alf only died in February of this year at the grand old age of 100. Rip to him aswel
Awesome you are reacting to this. He was a legend not only in Bolton, but the whole country. Hope this gives you a small glimpse of how much he was loved.
I'm from Bolton and I remember this day very well . Fred was a talented guy and we are so proud of Fred .
They don’t make them like that any more ,great respect to you both for the way you’ve appreciated him and brought him back to life for a while 🌺
We have to remember that Fred was not the only one. Every developed country in the world has men like him.. Chimneys, bridges and not forgetting the early skyscrapers in the U.S. All of them employed similar skills and nerves of steel. .
We owe a debt of gratitude to them whether they survived to retire or died on the job..
Absolutely
Nicely done, guys. I'm Facebook friends with Fred's widow and she was very pleased when I shared your reactions with her. Bless ya.
A truly Great Briton,salt of the earth, we will all miss his down to earth approach, a man of the people. Rest in peace Fred.
Queen Victoria died in 1901. The Victorian Era is the second half of the 19th Century. Funerals of prominent local people were huge. Victorian mourning was a very important thing, with strict rules and etiquette. Widows were expected to wear full mourning for two years. Queen Victoria remained in mourning and only wore black for 40 years after Prince Albert died.
Thank you guys for honoring a British legend
Fred was and is a national treasure, he was a man’s man but he held such knowledge that he was so keen to share. He would stop, talk and have a pint with anyone. I know he is missed but his memory and legacy lives on. Thank you gents for taking time to remember this legend, he had nerves of steel and a soft heart, much loved and appreciated
Victorian was the era of the reign of Queen Victoria, the time of great change and industrialisation in the UK. Fred was an Elizabethan bloke living in his Victorian world of his own. The church is Bolton Parish Church, St Peters. It is on Churchgate an old area of the town with a pub, Ye Olde Man and Scythe dating back to around 1251.
My home town and yes we do all talk like that 😂. Proper Bowton.
At 2 yrs old my daughter was a massive steam fan....her favorites were.. Fred, Thomas the tank engine & Guy Martin. She's 23 now & is still a massive fan....maybe Thomas not so much 🤣 Fred is a nationall treasure & will be terribly missed by generations to come. Thank you for this. Love & light from South Wales ( best coal!) 💜🏴🌻
Watch most of your videos, but don’t comment much seen or Fred Dibnah‘s videos before, but they are the sort of videos that you can watch over and over and over again and again thanks guys 👍🇬🇧🇺🇸
Nice to see you guys positive and touching tribute to a talented man who was highly intelligent and also understood how things worked!
Fred had dignity, charisma, skill, intelligence, knowledge, confidence, humour and passion.
The phrase is overused, but he was a national treasure if ever there was one.
People know a man of substance when they see one. Daniel hit the nail on the head - he was a champion of the people. Ordinary people can be extraordinary and are worthy of respect. RIP Fred.
I can't watch this. I'll end up yelling. RIP Mr. Dibnah, see you again sir.🙏
From an elderly British guy, I wish to thank you guys for featuring Fred Dibnah on your channel. I've appreciated you guys' appreciation of Fred's achievements & human qualities. Thank you also for this final tribute to Fred's life & his passing, it has warmed my heart. Blessings to you both. Don Hanney.
In the UK 🇬🇧 these are the people who are the people we look up to. Genuine no false ness. To many celebrities that don't hold a candle to people like Fred.
Nice video guys thanks for your time bringing this to us.
From the UK 🇬🇧 May America 🇺🇸 and Britain forever remain close
Thanks for your respect to this iconic Englishman lads ! You saw that wealth of traditional knowledge that Fred carried around in his head as if he had it in trust for the Nation. A truly iconic, one of a kind, irreplaceable human being, and a lovely man as well. Can I just point you back into the world of Fred, because there is at least another series out there where Fred gets involved in all things eccentric - I fondly remember the episode of him building a " faux coal mine " in his garden where he demonstrated how to lays bricks from " The top down " ??? and in the pursuit of excellence, and accuracy, this required the use of a bow and arrow with a string attached to it ???? - Try to find it !
Well said lads, but it's easy to see how much you both appreciated Fred, he'll never be gone with great fans like your good selves.
Hey Guys nice to see you honouring Fred. He was a down to earth common sense type of chap who was ingrained on my consciousness during my childhood mostly because he was on the telly every now and again. He struck me as a not famous (I guess in his mind) famous person. To be completely honest his legacy is not lost it is still carried on in the UK, the man that springs to mind in the same vane right now is Guy Martin. Who comes from a similar but more modern background.
Thank you for doing this video, a fitting ending.
What a beautiful, heartfelt tribute to a wonderful man. Legend. ❤
When someone lives a long and fulfilled life at their death there is sadness but also there should be celebration, God bless Fred.
Respect Guys thank you for this.x
Guys react to the Lancashire hotpots DIBNAH ,,,,,great farewell song and tribute to fred
I often find myself singing their song "Chippy Tea" 😄
I almost shd a bloody tear watching this! :) good one lads.
Thank you guys for sharing your journey of discovery, with such appreciation and sensitivity. I live about 10 miles from Bolton and had the honour to meet Roger a few years ago when he exhibited Fred's tractor at our local village carnival. A gentleman like his Dad. Best wishes from the UK.
Thank you guys, for doing this Great man Proud 🍻👍🏼
Hey guys thank you for doing this about Fred he was a legend here in Lancashire. 👏👏👏👏
Hopefully, this isn’t the end of your journey with Fred. There are other series that he did in his later years that you have yet to see and enjoy.
It’s wonderful to think that, through the medium of RUclips, Fred has now been embraced by a whole new Worldwide audience. And will continue to do so, thanks to creators like yourselves and those discovering him for the first time.
Wow, as I keep harping on about, Fred was the same "type" of guy that I hung out with as a kid at the Canterbury Steam Preservation Society. My Dad was an electrical engineer (and former paratrooper) who became friends with my primary school best mates Dad. He was a contractor and they worked on projects together. (They built me a go cart from scratch.) When I moved to England in 2004 I settled in Greater Manchester, of which Bolton is technically a part (and connected by the. Metrolink tram service.) I first heard the Bolton accent. NZ is probably the most egalitarian country in the world and I recognised that kinship. Goodbye Fred, you were a real one!
It’s great that you watch this one as well, it’s a really nice way to round up the Fred experience
I was lucky enough to go and see his one man show. He was so funny, with the tails of his life. I wasn't aware till later that he was suffering from cancer at the time, as he was in full spirits. One of the most treasured possessions I own is the signed photo I got from that night
R.I.p. Fred a true legend.
Just about to plough into Starfield again but had to watch your reaction to our Fred first. The fact that you GET the man and what he stood for and the passion he had is so refreshing. Well done guys.
Just as good as any royal funeral. Beautiful xx
Appreciate that you took Fred to your hearts, as you so obviously did. He was a great man, a great teacher and as funny as f--k. Much missed.
I grew up watching Fred ( the documentary in the 70’s ) , after this I was hooked and watched the rest of his programmes throughout the nineties until he left us , he was a Victorian man born in the wrong century and a very clever skilled tradesman not only in his chosen field but also a bricklayer , chippie ( he started of as a cabinet maker) and a technical draftsman.
Never seen this. Thank-you guys. My dad was in 2nd battalion Scots Guards and after leaving army he was in construction. Dad and myself and 5 brothers used to sit and watch Fred on TV, good memories as fad passed 5yr ago. Love from Scotland 🏴 x
Well done lads 👍👍
Love this, I think we all have some kind of connection with this, half my family is Lancastrian, so the commentry takes me back to memories of my uncles as a kid 💖
Watching 2 American lads who only recently discovered the joys of Fred being so transfixed was heartwarming, I ended up watching Dan more than the funeral, could tell the was invested in the story of fred, almost like a proud grandson!!
Well done chaps, proper video for a proper man. Fred is legend without doubt, no pronouns other than MAN for him
My son vlogs, he always says to me, I will always have you, can look back and see you. Great vlog guys
Just appreciate you guys respect for the great man...sorely missed but celebrated everytime his progammes are aired. Thankyou gentlemen.
Thankyou freinds from across the pond good for you lovely American fellows. Its wonderful your reacting,and have enjoyed his life and programmes being appreciative of Fred and engineering and his love of times gone by God bless you chaps ❤❤😊😊🇬🇧
A man was cremated and wanted his ashes scattered at sea the family didn't check the wind... it blew the ashes all over the side of the boat. I think Fred would have enjoyed that...... The Showman's Engine has a Generator on the front that can run a Prancing Horse Roundabout complete with Lights and Music.
I stopped off in Bolton on the way back from from Blackpool years ago. I was walking through the town centre, looking for a Greggs or something, but then suddenly right there in the middle of the street I came across a bronze statue of Fred, with a huge steam engine displayed behind him in a glass box.
I forgot all about my hunger and had to take a good few minutes to appreciate it... Fred embodied all that was great about Britain. A true national treasure, and a big part of my childhood. Not least because he reminded me a lot of my own grandad... Who was marine engineer from Barrow, a way north of Bolton, but with a similar dialect and culture.
And now there is a Greggs directly opposite him.
Amazing man
I live in Crewe Cheshire a town that owes its existence to steam and the manufacturer of trains next to one of the biggest rail sidings in northern Europe, every train in a 5 mile radius sounded their horns that day out of respect for Fred.
Fred later had a second wind as an absolutely brilliant documentary maker on building & engineering skills of the past. He was so hands on & perfect with putting across the methods, whys & how's but never forgetting the people who constructed them, all with his wry sense of humour.
You guys should take a look at Joey Dunlop if you like humble heroes. And then watch his funeral.
Thank you for not just doing this, but also doing it with sensitivity, respect and the occasional touch of the kind of down to earth humour that Fred would have enjoyed. I found your channel because you were reacting to Jamie T, I did not expect it to lead me here. Although he was a bit younger than my own father, he reminds me of the generation of men who raised me and taught me that the most of life's problems can be solved by remaining calm, thinking things through and, if all else fails, hitting them with a bloody great hammer. It is tempting for me to think that we will never see his like again, but the truth is that this platform has any number of fantastic role models for people to find. People who do what they do for the sheer love of it and who share their experiences out of the hope that, somewhere out there, there is someone who will look at what they do and experience some of the joy that they feel. Good work lads.
Pleased you showed this episode
I don't know who had the bright idea to make that first TV documentary about a lowly Bolton based steeplejack but they deserve a knighthood.
Fred turned out to be a very bright and knowledgeable chap. Speaking about steam engine and boiler designs and how to clean them out.
He was chatting away while climbing out and hanging off his scaffolding platform at the top of that huge chimney, he wryly mentioned 'you only get to fall off once'.
Good reviews lads. The man was a legend.
The day Clint passes away will be such a moment for America, and much further afield. A different type of character in a different field, but hugely iconic.
Really glad you reacted to Fred's send off, great tribute to a great man.
Thanks
tears came to my eyes
RIP Fred . . .greatly missed.
Yeah, let’s remember all construction workers everywhere and for all times that have been brave beyond belief and bloody hard working to create what we have today ❤
My dad crossed back over 7yrs ago,the funeral was more about sitting next to my mum with my brother on her other side to keep her strong,it hit me really hard about 18mths later when I just broke down in tears for no reason
Thank you for honouring a fellow boltonian, we have a beautiful statue in our town center ❤
I think of him up those chimneys, hours on end, days, weeks and months on end. Whenever I'm in an arduous job or having a hard time, the thought of him up there gives me strength. This send of wasn't just for a man who knocked down chimneys, he was a man who strength of character should be a shining light to us all. I never met him, but one of the people who I keep close to my heart.
Fred was an extraordinary ordinary man who just happened to attract various camera crews to follow him around. And for all those around the world who have discovered Fred Dibnah I will say.. "thank fk for those camera crews", for showing us that being real and down to earth is the most attractive and alluring personality trait
So happy you guy’s discovered Fred Dibnah. The respect and tribute that you shared with us is quite overwhelming. Thank you for sharing this with your audience. Best wishes from Scotland. 🏴
What a send off for a local boy,
Most of Bolton turned out
for a local Boy, A national hero!
Just so heart warming to see two guys of your age, from a country on the other side of an ocean, showing so much respect for Fred. Without even trying, or probably even realising it for himself, he became one of the most interesting and most loved guys on our television screens.
As a Scot I can assure you that every Jock who ever served plus most who haven't love his story. Kudos👍
Probably the most British thing I have ever watched.
I can vaguely remember going to an engine fair when I was very young , I can only remember crying , I was very small and they were very loud !
I was frightened of them then !
I will always remember his grin and his cloth cap, R.I.P Fred Dibnah ❤
He was a proper Victorian Man. The reign of Queen Victoria was most of the 19thC and into the 20thC. It was characterised by incredible invention and engineering massive industry. He was most at home with VICTORIAN craft skills and had a broad range of skills. A working class industrial polymath.
As a previous comment states The Victorian Era refers to Queen Victorias reign from 1837 to 1901 the period that the age of steam came into being and most of the chimneys he took down were built. A period in British engineering history he clearly had great respect for and a strong connection with.
wasnt just Bolton turning up, but other local towns where he had worked and pulled down chimneys, theres not much Bolton and Bury agreen on (because of the football and local derbies) but they all respected Fred for his life and his being happy to answer childrens questions and sign autographs or random bricks
Motorhome beep beep went to his grave. Ithink he's home and shop are a museum now. Victorian Age was the steam age. Great job honoring him.
i met Fred several times and he had time for everyone, he was such a nice man one of a kind
Lovely man. I don't know if anything on the internet exists for Blaster Bates who was in the generation before Fred Dibner but he is certainly worth a listen.
Fred remains a legend
We all knew Fred in our own way, ''Did ya like that''
They said our reservoir rose about a foot on that day from all the tears
You guys should check out Blaster Bates, he was on a bomber in WW2 where he learned to handle explosives. Came back from the war to find himself unemployed, became a "blaster" and spent most of his life blowing up the steeples at the same time as Dibnah, he also worked as a police officer in America for a few years for some reason.
Queen Victoria reigned from 1837 through till 1901 and that period is known as "Victorian" .
"Betsy" has "TA" registration which is from Devon, way down in the Westcountry.
His Land Rover has number plate THP 36R which is a Coventry issue from the Spring of 1977.
The white Rolls is circa 1930 and the more modern limos are from circa 1994.
You lads may not know, but he met the Queen when he was awarded an OBE. When he was asked why he thought he’d got it, he said he thought it was for ‘back street mechanics’ ☺️
Victorian refers to the British era under the reign of Queen Victoria. Each British monarchs reign is referred to as an era. For example, America gained its independence during the Georgian era (referring not just to the reign of George III but also George I, George II and George IV, 4 generations of King Georges). The late Queen’s era was referred to as The Second Elizabethan era and the reign of King Charles III will become known as the third Carolinan era (using the latin variant of Charles).
It is a bit more complicated. William IV's reign (between George IV and Victoria) is often considered part of the Georgian era (1714-1837). George V (1910-1936) doesn't really have an era, with up to WW1 being considered Edwardian, and then WW1, inter-war years, followed by WW2. An era has to last long enough and enough of a connection to need a name to describe it.
@peterjackson4763 Obviously it's more complicated than I explained. My explanation is simple by design for 2 lads who have no concept of Regal Eras...
Real people are more fascinating than any Hollywood movie especially with Fred’s personality ✌️
thank you for that guys...
I watched all Fred's programmes when they came out, but somehow I missed this. Great vid guys, brought a tear to my eye.
God blesss you two and the USA
Jack's Fine, spoke to him a couple of weeks ago.. Betsy is both getting a new firebox, and new fire-tubes..😉👍🚂K.
You should watch Dig with Dibnah, you'll enjoy it
The victoriana era depicts the reign of Queen Victoria from the mid 1800's to 1901 when she died. It was a time ofcrapid technological change due to the industrialisation of Britain. Hope that helps
The one thing missing to make it truly Victorian is a horse-drawn hearse and carriages instead of cars. R.I.P Fred
Lancashire Hotpots DIBNAH ,tribute song ,very emotional . Please react.
Fred Dibnah was a National Treasure that is why he had so many people lining the route all the way to the church. Victorian type of funeral means a funeral from the time of Queen Victoria, I thought that you would of heard of Queen Victoria who was Queen of Britain and the British Empire also Empress of India. Queen Victoria was one of the most famous Queen's that my country of England ever had, where her name was used for the highest Military medal for Gallantry, Bravery and Courage that can be won.......The Victoria Cross. So having a Victorian Style Funeral means having a Funeral from when Queen Victoria was our Queen which is so simple to understand the meaning. 💂♂️💂♂️🇬🇧🇬🇧🏴🏴💙💛🇺🇦🇺🇦
I did a job for one of the locals then!!!where Fred had a beer named after him,after he passed!his wife asked for one,3mths later,they named one the ole slapper!came from local mouth whose moved to my area! Just sayin🤣
huge respect
Thanks guys ✊✊✊👏👏👏
Amazing work guys. I came across your channel through watching videos of Fred. Brilliant stuff.
