Visited his grave in the late 80s with a rockabilly mate on the anniversary of Billy’s death. While there with other fans his mum arrived…..she was a lovely lady and very moved to see people had remembered her dear son……a fond memory indeed to a talented artist.
Billy Fury was my idol in my teens in the 1960’s I was heart broken when he died rip Billy xxxxx
Hi Paul, i’m a community carer in Liverpool. I had the pleasure of looking after his mum, Sarah, in her final years. Immensely proud of him, and his brother Albie. She explained how an illness while he was young, as you’ve stated, weakened his heart. Fantastic video as always Paul 😀
The best British rock n roll artist by far
I have never seen a more celebrity grave so lovely.
Hi Paul, thank you for posting this video.
My brother was in a children’s hospital in the 60’s and Billy Fury, Marty Wilde and Eden Kane came to visit the children. My mum said what a lovely guy Billy was.
All three of those artists were class guys to take time to visit children in hospital.
RIP Billy. ❤
My late Brother Bob worked on the buses in Great Yarmouth in the late 1960's and Billy Fury amongst other singers were appearing there doing summer seasons and didn't earn a great deal. So many of them eat in the same cafés as the bus crews. Bob was a big fan of Billy's and often chatted to him. He was really just like one of the lads. Bob told me one of the most popular conversations was 'Crumpet' and looking at them walking past the café giving them marks from 1 to 10.
Aww , I didn't realize he was so young when he passed away. So young and full of life , Rest in Peace Billy .
I was introduced to Billy’s parents in Liverpool shortly after his passing. They spoke with such gentle pride of their beloved son. It was a great privilege to have met them. God bless!
Billy fury top man & musician, there is a statue in Liverpool popular music and known to be a Gentleman As his record would say he's halfway to paradise with both music and styles. Hes now in paradise RIP Sir thank-you for the music
My mum loved Billy he was so gorgeous we have visited his grave several times, I'm a born and bread South londoner but we often go to Liverpool and visit Billy's statue in the Dock side,,we always take a rose in respect for Billy and also my darling mum, God bless them both 😢🎉❤✝️🇬🇧
My mum loved Billy Fury, I was brought up listening to all his music ❤
Same my mum saw him in great yarmouth lol she had stopped and doing her shoe up she shouted its billy fury my grandad said sod billy fury just do your shoes up Billy said i heard that lol x
My late mum loved him too and she lived awhile in Gt Yarmouth too 🙂

He is my great great grandfather ❤️ Ronald Wycherley
@@sophdeeganHow so? Billy didn't have any children. Nice try.
I can still remember my sister having his picture on her bedroom door. I to loved his music 🎶 It's hard to believe he would be 82 now, Another great singer gone to soon , Thank you for the story about Billy.
Once again an excellent post. I knew Billy's Mum Jean. She used to visit his grave every weekend by train . She was a lovely woman. A true lady and so very proud of Billy. Thankyou so very much. X
RIP 🎸🎸🎤 BILLY , I WAS AT THE GRAVE ON MY 72th Birthday! Aberdeen to London 🏴
My mam was a massive fan, i remember the day he died and she cried bless. Great artist. Cheers
RIP BF -- he was a favorite of my mum's as I remember when I was growing up. Cheers ❤😂❤.
He was a talented singer loved him.
Elvis was also 42 when he passed, Billy Fury i will always remember
Billy was a fantastic singer so sadly missed thank you ❤️👍
I love billy fury I bought a album of him yrs ago in his gold suite his grave looks beautiful with all the little ornaments of birds and owls. I remember reading he said he wud rather spend time with his birds than go out partying in clubs. I love all his songs. He said as a child he missed so much school and found it hard to make friends because he was in and out of hospital with his rheumatic fever as a child. He also admitted he was very shy. And people used to think he was being funny and awkward because he didn't want to communicate with people and all because he was a terribly shy guy. I read he finally met his idol elvis presley and watched him on the set of a film and stayed with elvis all day and never said one word to him because of his severe shyness. And apparently elvis said to someone on set this guy ain't said one word to me all day. Billy fury said on stage his shyness didn't exist it was only when he was off stage in everyday life. This guy was a bird lover the feathered kind. When I have seen him interviewed, he seemed a quite spoken, gentle natured, shy, kind , loving and caring.❤ not a big-headed, arrogant, cocky attitude from his head to his feet. This guy was beautiful inside and out, sooo chilled, sooo ,relaxed and at ease no matter who he talked to. A very, attractive, handsome, beautiful young man , what a looker, ❤ who died way too young. Heaven must have been missing a angel 😇 💔 that day because God only ever takes the best ❤❤❤❤❤😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Shame. At the same time, I bet there was nothing stopping Elvis from striking up a conversation, himself. He might have gotten to know why Billy was the introverted type.
My mum loved Billy Fury, she saw him in the 60’s. Said he was an amazing performer. Sad he passed so young. Thanks for another great vid Paul 👍🏻
Beautiful grave billy was absolutely
Great singer
Went far to soon R.I.P.❤
Thank you Paul. I was a teenager in the 60's and loved Billy Fury and his records, especially Halfway to Paradise. RIP Billy, you went too soon!
I saw and met him in the 60's when he came to Hanley. He was such a lovely person, quiet and softly spoken. I have followed him ever since. God bless and keep him in his care. XX
I met Billy when he came to Hanley and had my picture taken with him and got his autograph. I followed him since he hit the pop scene. It's such a shame he died so young. God bless and Rest in Peace.
I learned about Billy a few years ago. He was an amazing singer, I love Wondrous Place, Halfway to Paradise, and Nothing Shaking but the Leaves on the Trees.
❤❤Thank you so much for showing the grave of Billy fury. It is sad that he died at such a early age. May he rest in peace. ❤❤
My late brother was a bus driver in Great Yarmouth in the 1960's. He told me about Billy Fury, Marty Wild and others that were doing summer seaside gigs weren't on big money and used the same Cafes as the bus crews. Bob my brother often shared jokes, conversations (usually about Crumpet) and even their Cigarettes. They were just a bunch of really down to earth guys. He said
One of the best British singers I’ve heard in my lifetime. So sad he had to leave us so early in his life. I still sing his hits like ‘half way to paradise’, I’ll never find another you at parties. Rest in peace dear Billy 🙏
What a lovely grave.. RIP Billy🙏
My mum and dad saw Billy fury in Hull in the 70.s still play his music today beautifully maintained grave thanks Paul x
My parents loved Billy Fury, in thoughts of you were played at my dad's funeral. He was such a talented singer and left us way too young.
Saw Billy at Granada Walthamstow, I believe it was. A long time ago. I bought his records as soon as they were released, played them so much, I wore them out. A sad day indeed when he passed away. Must admit I shed a tear or two.
R. I. P Billy. I will never forget you and your music ❤
I have visited Billy's grave many times. He was the UK's greatest Rock n Roll/ Ballad singer. So humble yet so talented. Sadly missed by all of his fans. If you pause at 10.57 you will see a large stone. This is where Annie Lennox baby is buried..(Just noticed someone else has already mentioned this)
Thank's Billy was a great artist another idol we really never had, but we have still got Cliff, R.I.P Billy 💔🥀!!!.
Very interesting and respectful video, thanks Paul and what a beautifully kept resting place for the one and only Billy Fury 🙏❤️
i loved that man and his music. im at an age where i can still remember every song, all the words . thank you Paul
Loved Billy growing up, sadly gone too soon. Someone still loves Billy so much his grave is beautiful. RIP
I grew up with the music of Billy Fury. He was outstanding in his time. So sad he died so young. His grave is so well loooked after. Another informative and interesting video.
Half way to paradise was played for my dad at his funeral, growing up, he often played Billy's music so I was fortunate enough to absorb that amazing voice. All the best.
As a child of the 1940s I certainly remember his music very well. It was as good as anyone's at that time.. That is a wonderful cemetery and his grave is really well cared for. Great visit. Thanks.
My dad was a Billy Fury fan, I remember when I was little if I wasn't well my dad used to sit me on his knee and sing Half way to paradise to me even now I still listen to his music. So sad that he died so young he left way too soon. What a beautiful grave and still well looked after all these years later. Thank you Paul.
I grew up in Mill Hill. My Dad is buried just down the road at Hendon Crem. He passed aged 44. The good ones always get taken early. Seen Billy's grave many times. Cheers Paul.
Fabulous grave so well looked after,love billy fury,great voice,died way too young,thanks Paul,total respect as usual,hope your okay,big hugs and love sent ❤️ xxxx
BILLY FURY he was a amazing British rock ‘n’ roll singer 🎸❤️🎼🥁🎤 and he will never be forgotten And that is very young only 42 that is very sad a his music will live forever in our hearts❤️ thank you Paul for this video A trivia video🙏 👋 looking forward to your next one mate take care Paul👋😀🎥📺❤️ thank you for doing this lovely tribute to amazing singer🎸🥁❤️
there was a mural of him near West Hamstead station..I think it's gone now. He was born with a heart problem. At one point they rebuilt his heart. it was then part mechanical..it didn't last long.
" I intend to live forever.. or die trying "
Great vlog as always Paul, really enjoyed this! & What an amazing gravestone eh? Definitely one of the best we've seen, so well kept after all these years as well 👍 so many talented musicians died young... Sadly.
My Mum was a great fan of Billy Fury, his music always reminds me of her. She passed away in 2002. Thank you for this video Paul.
Same here @Barry_Uk my mum passed jan 2012 :'(
Hi Paul, I’ve also visited Billy’s grave, as I live not far away from the cemetery, and I’ve also visited Billy’s statue at Liverpool Docks. He was a great part of my growing up. However, whilst at the cemetery, you could have also visited the grave of Annie Lennox’s son, who is urged approx 6 graves away from Billy’s, going to the right of Billy’s. 🙏🏼
I didn't know that Annie Lennox had any kids what happened to him
@@garycarpenter6433 Annie had a son, all I can remember is that his name begins with a D. The boy was either still born or died very shortly after birth. You can see his headstone in Paul’s video, it looks (basically) like a pointed piece of rock. I hope this helps.
I’ve just watched the video again, and Annie’s sons grave is the 9th in line from Billy’s as Paul walks away. 👍
@@arfamccann5824 TY for your info
No idea Anne had a son,,who passed away,,,
Yes, I saw Billy at Portsmouth Guildhall, probably 1963/4.
We swooned my friend and I.
He was unique, he was ours.
So sorry to lose him so young.
I think all too often the best pass young, certainly in this case.
So very talented!
Bless you Billy and Thank you.
❤❤❤
It's true the best do die young..
One of my mums favorites .. I still love his music today ❤❤
Thank you for showing this, I always loved Billy his songs and voice were wonderful.
I worshipped Billy .i grew up singing his song on cariok .I was born 1950 am now nearly 73 .sorry elvis Billy was the real king love ❤️ you till i die x
My late husband adored him .we had don't ever worry that I'll leave you as we went in ..our daughter chose that .and Ferry across the Mersey as we went out my son's choice. There dad loved the 60s born in 1954 been gone 10 years now . He loved Billy ,saw him live a few times xx
What a beautiful resting place. Those blue stones look amazing.
My mum used to love Billy Fury. It's her Anniversary today. 40 years ago I lost her, so watching this video is like a tribute to her. Thanks Paul...xxxx
Legendary singer lived such a short life
Another great video has always Paul 👍
Wow beautiful grave 😮 just shows how much they loved him and so many famous people don't have a grave.
Loved him and his songs. Still do.

Fabulous video Paul. BIlly Fury's resting place is so well maintained. Your always so respectful to the dearly departed, makes me motionless, in a positive way 🙏💜🌹
Awesome mate cheers what a legend he's music is awesome he's not half way to paradise he's in paradise
Aw thank you for visiting Billy's resting place. Although he was of my Mum's generation (she saw him sing live as a teenager) I consider him to be my favourite male singer. I was 11 when he passed away and I would discover his music at the age of 17.
I have a padlock with my name on, which hangs not far from his statue in Liverpool.
I really do appreciate you taking the time to visit him x
I loved his music when he was around great singer and taken so young
He died far too young, and I'm sure he made it all the way to Paradise. He had a lovely voice
My dad was a huge Billy Fury Fan the song its only make Belive Is his favourite song by Billy
Billy Fury was one of my mum`s favourite singers so as a child he influenced my musical taste The Sound Of Fury rock and roll LP is one of the greatest British rock and roll albums of all time Although he was known for the ballads Billy could rock for sure My mum passed away last year and I would love to think that she is in heaven being entertained by Billy So pleased to see you visited Billy`s resting place Paul god bless you
Still listening to his music today great stuff
An amazing talent lost so very early in his career may you be singing with the angels RIP 😢😢😢😢😢
Thanks Paul once again another fabulous person gone to soon loved half way to paradise he sang it epic he was the English elvis rip Billy 👏👏👍👍
Billy was a brilliant artist and with a great concern for wildlife his number wondrous place is absolutely brilliant - have a listen Paul
Thank you so much for doing this one, Billy Fury was one of my favorite singers along with Eddie Cochran (who also died in the UK and plaque is in Bath I think). Billy Fury was a legend, much better than the Beatles in my opinion .... Great work Paul and thanks again. 😎😎😎😎😎
Paul, Thank you again for a lovely episode! Thanks also for keeping Billy’s memory alive. Bob
Halfway to paradise was played recently at friends funeral , thank you Paul
How lovely to see a well looked after Grave credit to those who look after it. Great Video as usual 😊
I have seen fans of Billy cleaning the grave and pruning the bushes either side while visiting my brother’s grave a few rows behind.
A well maintained grave indeed. I am glad you made the comment about the possible reasons some famous people's graves are neglected. I have to say there has been one or two very famous and lovely people who have sad looking graves but as you say there will be a reason.
I met billy at a elvis convention at camber sands. His health was not the best then but always had time to chat. R.I.P. mr fury.🙏
What a wonderful singer sadly missed i loved his music have lots of his records
Very like Elvis alright and I no of his songs still to this day 😊👍love this one 😊❤️
Hello Paul that's a beautiful headstone and little blue stones and little angels too!!! Rest in peace Billy fury
Beautifully maintained grave. God bless him. Thank you for another lovely video
Billy Fury was a great singer I loved his songs
Followed him..loved him but would never compare him to Elvis..he was different..
Met him backstage and he was quite quiet..but I was starstruck…❤️
Thank you Paul, for sharing this with us, and for your hard work. Much appreciated. RIP Billy Fury (Ronald)
Loved Billy still play his music
Very interesting video. Thank you.
Hello Paul,
you make walking around a grave yard such a knowledgeable and interesting experience!
I also liked the view of the commonwealth grave yard, which looks so tidy.
Take care of yourself
😉
The graves which are curved at the top are those of Dutch servicemen; there are about 250 of them. One of the graves that caught my eye was the one of the Bomber Command pilot who had a conventional grave rather than a Commonwealth war grave headstone.
@@geoffpoole483 thankyou
First heard of Billy Fury when he was in the film "That'll Be The Day" playing the part of a singer in the band Stormy Tempest alongside drummer Keith Moon. Great film and what a voice too! #RIP Billy Fury 🖤
Any idea who was the pianist in Stormy Tempest? There’s no mention in the credits but I’m certain it’s Marty Wilde.
@@joekerr6685 Yes, I think you're right. I think it is Marty Wilde.
My dad would of loved this video as he was a massive fan thank you for doing this video respect to you.
I can't help but notice just how perfect those hedges are cut. I've never seen anything like it. Looks fantastic. Great video, Paul!
Respectfully done Paul, Billy Fury was a big favourite of my Mum. He was a talented guy and passed far too young. It was nice to see his grave so well maintained. May he R.I.P. 🙏
Many thanks again Paul, lovely video and a very interesting story. I was a big Billy Fury fan and still have several tracks of his on my iPod 1960s mix. Yes he was a very keen ornithologist but sadly didn’t enjoy good health throughout his career . He was a lovely man and it’s so good to see his grave and memory so well preserved. His music in that era was legendary but sadly I never got to see him live. Taken far too soon, RIP Billy .Thanks again Paul.
I only got to see Billy Fury sing live once but Oh what a handsome man, Elvis Presley is no comparison, Billy was a lovely person too and had such charisma as well as a lovely voice. An animal lover, gorgeous inside and out. Thanks for showing .
If it wasn't for Elvis,there would be no Billy,they were both great artist.
@@AndrewNeale-go9eqYes, both did some great songs, I think it's Billy's good looks and personality that got me!
Not the UKS Elvis but just Billy Fury think he was the best thing to come out of Liverpool a great singer in his own right .
Amazing as ever Paul , thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏
Wow.another icon died in London so young 😢 beautiful story ❤️ and all planed put before we come here .
Beautiful grave love him great. Guy thank you Paul 😊
