We lived opposite Reg and his wife from 2007 until he passed away. Lovey couple, very quiet, very polite. Rest in Peace Reg.
A beautiful cemetery shame there’s no place where he’s remembered but thanks to your wonderful videos these legends are always remembered 🙏🏻
He has got a gravestone but he's in the wrong place to find it.
One of the great British bands of the 1960s we were so lucky RIP REG
His song 'Love is all around' is my favourite 🌹
I saw reg Presley he was performing with the troggs in Wolverhampton a few years before he died and he was fantastic he never lost that fantastic voice great man and he shook hands with everyone on the front row rest in peace reg🎶🎸
Awesome place so beautiful and peaceful RIP Reg ❤ till the next one 😊
Love is all around is a great for so many reasons; great lyrics, melodies and beautiful voice that Reg Presley had. I didn’t know he died of lung cancer. So sad he didn’t get the recognition he deserved
Wild Thing. Great tune.👌
‘Wild Thing’ is one of my favourites to sing in the car. Not so good when your at the traffic lights with the windows down and singing at the top of your voice 🤣.
Great Music memories. ❤
He was brilliant in the trogs, really was a man of the swinging 60s.a pioneer of music.
Great one Paul. I was 14 in 66,although The Beatles dominated the charts, The Troggs broke through, they had a grungy sound and the songs were great. I live in Reading so not far from Basingstoke, what a beautiful cemetery, so well kept,worth a visit to see who's there and sit on a bench and think about life and how precious it is and think about those who have passed and enjoyed what we have now.
Hi I hope you don't mind me replying, Reading caught my eye. I've been doing my family tree on Ancestry for the past year, a LOT if not most of my maternal gran's family are from Berkshire and South Oxfordshire including Reading. It looks so beautiful and can't wait to see it for myself hopefully in the coming year or two. Cheers, Susan, Queensland.
Your welcome, I moved to Reading in 1978.
I loved THE TROGGS in the 60's , great historic band in that era , thanks again for your presentation Paul ..
Reg Presley was from my hometown. Andover. He used to own a home near the A303 dual carriageway and wrote about a book about crop circles.
I remember meeting him in southampton with my father when reg was shopping , lovely man. Gave us his autograph.
Beautiful cemetery, I told my daughter I want to be buried green.
What a lovely cemetery, didn't even know he was dead. Come over to Belfast and see George Best's resting place.
Loved The Troggs, I was sixteen in 1966 and we were immersed in brilliant music. Reg and the lads were definitely a ‘What you see is what you get’ band. Nothing artificial or heavily over-produced. Paul, it didn’t matter that you didn’t locate a memorial to Reg, your video was so right.
RIP Reg I like The Troggs good band
Loved the trogs wild thing hank you paul
Anybody else visit cemeteries in RL? I love the landscapes, lush green grass, huge tombs, and it sparks the imagination how certain ppl have passed. I’m weird lol
Aww wow that is beautiful there
Love is all around
Such a beautiful cemetery 🙏🏻💖 I'd want my ashes buried in a place just like this its so pretty 🌹🌺🌼 I've heard of the Troggs and (Wild thing and Love is all around) as my dad was a fan of the Troggs bk in the day.. RIP Reg Presley 🙏🏻🌹🕊️ thankyou Paul for another great video 👍🏻😀
Was lucky enough to see the Troggs play twice, Reg was a one off, funny and very entertaining !
The troops were the very first band that tweeted my ears to this pop music.. I was 11 at the time.. such a shame for someone so great and has done such amazing things in his life to end up with literally nothing to show for it.. such a shame.. but as always you do your amazing walk about and show us all these beautiful churches and cemeteries.. thank you Paul.. your a great tryer xx let's hope wherever he is hes at peace x

I loved his music and yes it is a beautiful place
Reg presley had quite a talent to write his own songs . Beautifal roses in that crem , lovely pond , well looked after
That cemetery looks like heaven in its glory. What a pity the staff was so jobs worth.
It's such a shame the crematorium office would not disclose if there was a memorial plaque for Reg Presley. 😟
paul did say at the beginning they said no.
What a beautiful place ... Shame there is nothing for him there ...Such a great singer
Hi Paul, nice place. Thanks for your time doing this xxx
Another great video has always paul 👍
Reg Presley will be remembered forever,his and the Troggs music will live on forever
It's probably because it's so beautiful there that the office weren't very helpful.
It's sad that there's no memorial that we know of. I love Wild Thing...proper classic tune forever. Rip Reg xx
Thanks Paul, Done your best, Beautiful surroundings.

Shame no plaque but his music I remember well. Such a beautiful place the gardens are immaculate so pretty. My mum and dad were cremated had my mum's ashes scattered and buried around and under a yellow rose Bush her favourite in southern cemetery Manchester where I'm originally from. My dad's ashes were scattered at Stockport cemetery. I want to be cremated and my ashes put with my mum. Thanks Paul for sharing love from Holmfirth West Yorkshire 💙 💚
Brilliant thank you
hi paul my home town basingstoke it's a very tranquil place at the crematorium reg was well known around andover what a great singer and group the troggs are such a shame you never found a memorial plaque.
beautiful crematorium, loved the duck pond, I would love that
Loved the Troggs .
remember being involved in a pub lock in with the troggs guitarist in Andover in the mid 90s when he celebrated his 50th
That really is a Beautiful Place for ones Ashes...Those Tree Circles are Awesome..
Stunning place Paul,cant understand why he wouldnt want a plaque but each to their own,made some epic songs
My mum and dad did not want plaque's, they were cremated and ashes scattered, which is what will happen to me too.
Such a beautiful place. Have a lovely well deserved holiday 😊
What a beautiful place so tranquil and picturesque thank you for sharing. shame there wasn't a plaque for him but definitely not a wasted journey
What a beautiful place to spend all eternity. Thank you Paul.
Yes I remember this songs you’re such a lovely place. Thank you for sharing that you take care. Keep safe all the family drive carefully keep up the great work. 👍😊
What a beautiful place, bit before my time but i do remember the group, thanks for the history lesson really interesting. the Grass comment made me laugh Paul. 😀
Wow!!!!!!!!!!! What a beautiful place.
What a beautiful setting, if other cemeteries could be the same, either for cremated or buried remains.
Take care
👻👻👻
What a georgeous place Paul good to see you ❤️😊
He was a loving man. He was ito his walks and his hobby UFOs etc. The troggs album called from nowhere very underrated do check it out. Had the great pleasure of meeting him. Great videos Paul thanks xxxx
The Troggs are also remembered for the Troggs Tapes, an off-mic recording of the band arguing and swearing; a bit like Derek and Clive set to music. It's on RUclips.
Loved the Troggs, saw them at the Odean Birmingham Three time, Bought all their singles thanks Paul . Lovely place to have your ashes laid .
Our sons mother in laws ashes are in that cemetery, We went to the funeral and said exactly what you said about the cemetery.
Looks lovely another great video Paul cheers
Loved The Triggs I still do. Wow a really beautiful place you have showed us today. No plaque and not a wasted journey either. A lovely video thank you Paul
LOVELY place ❤❤❤
❤ Thank you for taking us along.
You are always so respectful and informative.
If you ever travel to the USA and go to the Hollywood Forever cemetery that would be amazing. I'd especially love to visit Anton Yelchin's memorial.
Great video Paul, I was Lucy enough to see the troughs in Sheffield not long before he died and they were fantastic and very loud .
Saw them in the sixties at Old Hill Plaza The Troggs remember them well , the good old day's Paul, have a nice day Mate !!!.🎶🎸🎸🎼.
Lovely place. Definitely remember him from the old clips. Good songs.
Ooh I've loved British '60's pop all my life, enjoyed! I love seeing birds, ducks etc. in Cemeteries. My local one has Wallabies/Kangaroos peacefully grazing, they keep their distance and the Roos have never bothered anyone to the best of my knowledge. I love sitting and watching them when I go there to visit family x
Hey Paul not a big fan of the troggs but liked a couple of their songs. Your right that crems ground was beautiful. Thank you for the video see you in the next one. Sending hugs to you. Xxxxxxx🌹🌹🌹
I see the troggs 3 years b4 Reg died on a sensational 60s show in Southend Essex...he was on top form that night..The late great Jimi Hendrix performed a cover of Wild Thing. ( the now famous guitar sacrifice. When Hendrix set fire to his guitar during the performance of wild thing. At the monterrey pop festival in America)Wet wet wet. Love is all around written by Reg...he musta made a impression in the music industry. Shame there's no memorial plaque or headstone to remember him by tho. He left a legacy in his music for sure. What a beautiful cemetery. So well kept. Thanks again Paul for all your travelling...
I never got off on The Troggs, but I do respect what they have achieved.
Cremation at one time wasn't anywhere close to being on my mind, but as I get older I do believe that's the way to go. Nowhere near to a true Viking send off, but close enough.
Can't seem to find anyone who is willing to douse my corpse with lighter fluid and send me on my merry way down a river in a canoe.
So traditional current cremation it will be.
Love the music episodes highlighting musicians of all kind.
Thanks for another good one, that's what she said, Paulie.
"Not that kind of grass", beauty of a line that made me laugh.
Until the next one..
Cheers.
-Jerry
Thank you Paul, I think I was quite young during the time of the Trogs.
Nice one again paul keep up the good work 👍👍👍👍👍
Hi Paul.
A nice video despite not finding a plaque. Nice gardens. People forget that the Victorians built cemeteries not only for their obvious use but also to create pleasant open spaces where people could enjoy some fresh air away from the polluted areas of industry and streets full of terraced housing. This is still being done today with Councils developing new cemeteries as refuges for wildlife. Keep ‘em coming!
What a stunning place to have your ashes scattered.......
What a beautiful place x
I have seen the troggs live many years ago they were brilliant.
Thanks
Thank you so much, Joe as always
Love the t shirt
Hi Paul really like you professional and really interesting Videos, please keep going👍
Thanks for the stroll through this lovely cemetery!
Another great video Paul,a lovely cemetery,and well kept x
Wow Paul what a beautiful place and so peaceful ☘
Thank you Paul for another fantastic video. You enjoy your well deserved holiday and stay safe x
Very good
Beautiful crematorium…So Calm and peaceful….Thankyou Paul for bringing this video it’s very informative…I did like some of their music X
Great video Paul! Very sad that there isn’t any memorial to Reg Presley on display…..but his music lives on, perhaps that’s all we need! Very odd the office at the Crematorium reacted the way they did.
Hi Paul liked the video beautiful crematorium look forward to the next video 🙂👍👌
Thanks for the info on Reg. I appreciate you're contribution to a special person.
Good luck mate!❤
Always a disappointment that some of these celebrities don't have a plaque you can touch but it still involves a lot of research to do it so thank you.
Looks so beautiful and peaceful there another amazing musican thank you for another awesome video have a lovely holiday Paul xx ❤
Beautiful and relaxing place.
Thanks for this great video Paul. Enjoy your holidays and take care. Greetings from Germany Melinda

R I P REG 🙏🥀
I stood right in front of reg way back in June 1966 as he sang wild thing, I was with my stepbrother who was supporting the troggs, a great memory for me as a 15 year old lad just left school. Good video as usual Paul 👌
