I fulfilled a 7 year journey today.
We are in Northern France and today I became my Great Grandfather's first ever family visitor at his grave in The Somme.
It was more poignant given that it's nearly Christmas.
Was proud to lay a Wreath on his grave but it was so emotional too.
I feel so much better about Christmas now that I've honoured him.
To everyone on the channel, Merry Christmas
I lived in Poole for 15 years working for a stone mason / funeral director Anthony Ives , I’ve been in that cemetery many times installing grave landings so know it well close to the boat yard Lilliput , later did work at lakes house think it was a mill in its day just out of Wimborne , I know drip and Andy summers were from there as worked at Compton Acres where Andy summers sister worked , lots of memories as now back in Devon living , Greg’s farther Christmas song was to me the best of all , 👍
RIP Greg amazing your music will live on forever 🙏 thanks for all the joy never forgotten 🎉thanks poul nice video respect top man 👨 👏 👍
One of my favourite christmas songs
I’m a fan of lake and palmer, I love their music , I often wondered where Greg was buried , and I’m glad you found it , I think ile pay a visit to it in the summer , to show my respects . Thanks Paul , this was a real treat for Christmas .
I believe in Father Christmas is on of my favourite Christmas songs makes me cry at Christmas when they play it as it 17:34 17:36 17:37 brings back memories of my friends and family I have lost he is interred in that cemetery you were in in Dorset Thankyou for going and sharing it with us ❤️❤️
Wow many thanks Paul for doing this we love Greg kake, such a great guy especially in ELP.
Problem is that find a grave says still burial details unknown.
If this song came out a year before or a year later it would have got to number one in the charts. It is a pity it came out the year it did. It certainly deserved number 1 spot. I preferred this song to queen's B R.
Another great video! Thank you very much.
My all time favourite Xmas song, love the intro
Hello Paul!! Greg Lake was blessed with a fantastc voice and Tarkus , Trilogy and Brain Salad Surgery are true masterpieces of Prog rock!! Merry Christmas!!!🥰🖤❤️….
In my opnion the greatest christmas song ever written.
Very merry Christmas Paul and to all your followers.
And I second your sentiment for having compassion for those who might be lonely this Christmas.
merry christmas
@@traciemarsh1611 You too, Tracie.

Always been my Bucket List: Fly from CT, USA and visit Greg's cemetery

The timeless quality ( i believe in father xmas) is a one off, never to be repeated, his work with ELP is also sensational, brings me back to my youth, here's a merry xmas from Banff Scotland, love to you all.
What a great song God bless him ❤
He was a very amazing talented musician and he was gorgeous...and his hair 😜, thank you Paul, rip Greg Lake...so sad not to see his name 😢❤xx
'I Believe in Father Christmas' is a very haunting song IMO
Oh Wow! I love this Christmas song, absolutely stunning beautiful song and an amazing voice and all round talent. Thanks 👍 🌲😊❤
ELP # 1 !
Beautiful song, beautiful video, beautiful Unusual family 🤗🌻💕 all the best everyone, see you in the new year. Thanks Paul and Lee 🤗 Xxx

Would love to see you go to George Michael's resting place in London

I'm glad you did a Christmas Video, R.I.P. Greg love your music, "I believe in father Christmas" Is one of my fav's. Thanks Paul.
To be honest Paul I didn't really know him but thanks for sharing lovely video though take care 👍
My all time christmas song ❤ thankyou
R .I.P Greg yep me too just one of my favourite Christmas songs 😊
Thanks Paul, I missed this one
One of my favourite Christmas songs
i loved that song. and every thing he did
I love that song it's great for the little children who know about FATHER CHRISTMAS as we all do
Just take the time to listen to "Closer to beliieving" by Greg, beautiful piece of music.
I’m a massive fan of ELP, didn’t know he was from Dorset. I believe in Father Christmas is undoubtedly the best Christmas song ever it’s on the playlist every year. Great video, very interesting. Happy Christmas.🎄
Merry Christmas Paul and to everyone reading this x
Happy Christmas x
Loved this song I loved the band to merry Christmas and happy new year Paul I hope next year is even better for your Chanel
Merry Christmas to Paul and all the subscribers. Blessings 🎉
Thank you Paul for another well made video. I love his Christmas song, a real classic. Have a great Christmas Paul.
Look forward this video Paul., Emerson, Lake and Palmer what brilliant band. Fanfare for Common Man was something else. Such shame two these great band members passed Still regularly play that tune. Very merry Christmas Paul and everyone..
Great video again Paul,
Thanks for doing the visit.
Just a ramble, on your pause at the Slade family.
Welsh Musician Chris Slade who hails from Pontypridd has worked with Manfred Manns Earthband, AC/DC and Tom Jones.
I am just wondering if there is a family connection somewhere in the past between the two Slade families.
Just a rambling thought.
Lovely song Paul & another great festival video.
P.s If his ashes are interd there, surely the information would be on the burial records with the cemetery. Just a thought. Keep up the good work 👏
Who could not like this song. Paul you said you got there early and there was no-one there. Are you sure?. Fabulous video as usual. Thank you.
It does happen a lot when children are buried or cremated with out a mention on the headstone. It happened to my mother's Friend who was buried with her mother with no name added. Really sad though as nobody should be forgotten. A very moving video for the time of the year. Happy Christmas everyone.
Same with my twin sister , she died about ten mins after we were born and she’s buried with my dads Nan …not on headstone :( x
I think with celebrities it could be so the grave doesn't get damaged or anything stolen off it. Other reasons could be no room. We couldn't add my Mums name to the headstone where her Dad, Mum and baby sister are but we did get a grave vase engraved instead
RIP Greg ❤ , I know of king Crimson cos of Robert Fripp- Toyahs hubby .
Paul have a great Xmas and new year , ur awesome and ur channels will grow and grow and u will get to America ….much love as always , Merry Christmas to Rocky as well xxxx
Well Done Paul, I guess that took a lot of leg work trying to locate Greg’s grave. His Xmas Track from 1975 is just a relevant today as then. War keeps raging and the same people keep funding it. Same shit, different decade. Frohe Weihnachten 🎄
One of my favourite Christmas songs, so meaningful and beautiful. Merry Christmas Paul! I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and a happy new year.
Hi ,Paul in Poole . A great tribute as always . Thanks for a year of great videos . Wishing you a fantastic Christmas .
Lovely seasonal Video. Merry Christmas Paul and thank you for many interesting videos in 2023. May there be many more in 2024. God bless you.
RIP Greg Lake. Crimson info jumped from playing on stage with Fripp to ELP start. First album is a classic with “20th Century schizoid man” single.
My favourite ELP is fanfare for a common man , apsolutely brilliant track .thank you Paul that was so fabulous, I looked on Wikipedia and it doesn't mention anything at all where Greg's buried. So it must be here I guess rest in eternal peace forever prog legend, have a great Christmas ⛄🎁🎉🎄🧑🏻🎄Paul really like what you do for us much appreciated mate and I would really like to meet and greet with you ,next year sometime if you come to west Yorkshire UK 🇬🇧 have a gud en, your dear close friend always Rodders 🎄⛄🎄🧑🏻🎄🤘🏻🤘🏻🎸🥁👑 Thank god it's Christmas yeah 😁 22:20
Hi Paul…mystery really, my research says Greg was buried with his parents, so perhaps his name isn’t shown as they didn’t want lots of fans coming? Just a thought…Happy Christmas and New Year! And thanks for all you have done for us over the past year…,been
Brilliant as always! Love and hugs! 🙋♀️🎄🥳💕😘😘 Helen in Norfolk 🙋♀️
Another great video thanks Paul and merry Christmas to you and yours
Another great one Paul and thankyou. Greg's song is a beauty and it's one of those as soon as you hear it you know it's Christmas . Lovely stuff..Thankyou Paul 👍👍♥️
Thanks on the Greg lake Christmas I live in boscombe and love the song I would love to go and pay my respects and also to the man who does the show about looking out for each other at Christmas especially I have just become a lone parent after 35 years and the loneliness is so sad to me so I can feel for people being alone just say hi to someone can make all the difference have a wonderful Christmas everyone
Thank you, Brian. Make sure you look after yourself and your child obviously…. Stay strong and keep punching… have a merry Christmas
Merry Christmas Paul thank you for running a continuous and respectful series of late famous people
Happy Christmas and a very happy new year Thankyou for everything you do for us 🌲🧁🥂
Looking forward to seeing this one
Got my purple hoodie today that I ordered love it
Nice one! Thats awesome 🙌
It’s so cosy and in this weather (storm force winds here today) definitely got it at the right time
Happy Christmas Paul..thankyou for the videos which you have produced this year..
Remember ELP very well and Greg recording this Christmas song in 1975..I remember buying the single.. as you alluded to it's more about his dislike of the commercialisation of Christmas and the loss of it's true meaning and that is nearly 50 years ago...
As for his interment, possibly / probably with his parents but not sure, only his family will know for sure or maybe Carl Palmer..
Whatever, may he continue to RIP 🙏
Merry christmas paul😊
Brilliant rip Greg
Happy Christmas to you Paul I hope u have a lovely one thanks for everything you do for us xx❤️❤️🎄🎄
Thank you for your videos, we appreciate them, Merry Christmas from Australia 🎉🎉

You've done it again!! Another great video. Loved ELP and especially loved this Christmas song. Also learned some interesting facts that I never knew. Thank you Paul. Wishing you a Merry Christmas. Can't wait to see what you have in store for us in 2024!!
Awesome! Thank you!
Loved Greg’s song great voice loved the video Paul hope you have a great Christmas
😊I crank up the song “I believe in Father Christmas “ every Christmas without fail and sometimes randomly throughout the year.
That song is from when I was a kid.
Hi Paul I grew up with ELP and we still sell their albums in the record shop I work in in fact we have Pictures At An exhibition in the window at the moment Im now selling ELP to a generation of kids who were not born in the Seventies such is the brilliance of their music Im sure both Greg and Keith would love that I find it ironic that everybody regards Greg`s christmas song as a pop classic as it was indeed as he stated an anti Christmas track and a social comment on how christmas was so commercial and had lost its meaning
Indeed the last line he sings is "The Christmas you get you deserve" Despite that it is a brilliant record God bless you Greg not just for ELP but for your fantastic vocals with King Crimson Once again Paul another superb video paying respects to one of my heroes
Hope you have a wonderful Christmas Looking forward to more great videos next year thanks once again Paul
