I was at Wellingborough Grammar School during the 1960s. Each year a prominent, but (to us) boring famous person would be invited to do the school speech day. The only plus point was that we had the afternoon off from lessons. In around 1964 David Frost was the guest speaker. He was a former pupil at the Grammar School. David was engaging and funny. The first and probably only time we ever laughed at something said from the platform. David’s dad was a local Methodist minister and for couple of years David was a Local Preacher
David Frost was a 'heavyweight' interviewer. His interviews with Enoch Powell & Richard Nixon 2 of the most controversial political figures of all time, will still be etched in the memories of some if not many. Great content Alan, thoroughly enjoyed this!😊
Hello! SS I agree to a very large degree in many cases which is surprising and sad. There are exceptions but it's the minority that seem to get the continual afterthought by people that remembered them. I think it's just a reality of life. People don't have the time, but you think they're hardcore fans would. Not always the case though Joe longthorne in Blackpool was like a florist shop !
Bernadette Sir David was an entertainment and an asset in many directions. We love this presence on TV. Thank you for your encouragement. Regards, Alan
Another amazing story I watched him again with my mum as I was growing up and after i had my first 2 children. He was on our screens all the time . Again good memories brought back. It's nice to reminisce back to when It was just me and my mum as my dad died a week after my 9th birthday and got no brothers and sisters lost my mum in 1990 . This is one reason I love your videos it's good to hear about the people who you watched on TV hear their stories. Thanks again Alan for a brilliant video love Gill from Holmfirth West Yorkshire 💙
Hi Gill It shows you that Billy Fury is still well remembered. Then when they give him the nickname it was a very very pretty grave You take care. I'll see you soon. Alan
Hi Derik It was a very intelligent and professional man with a light-hearted site to him as well. Very deadpan delivery And it was ridiculously young for his son, wasn't it? Thank you for the comment Alan
@@MotorHomeBeepBeep Very young yes, I spent 12 years of my life working on churches and cathedrals around the country always good to pop inside to look around 👍😁
@@derekmanton7201 Ok I say what a nice way to do your job travelling around. I presume you're a builder. If you know any good celebrity graves let me know. See you later. Derek
Remember David Frosts show in America.He was a Guest on the Johnny Carson Show.Promoting the Nixon interviews.Carson asked how he could fly from England to the United States several times a month,and not suffer from jet lag.Frost said luck and discipline.Some of us liked when he had members of Monty Python on his American show.Sort of introduced John Cleese,Michael Palin and Eric Idle to American audiences.
Your Famo;us Graves films are SO good and the info. you give is SO interesting, and I enjoy them SO much - Thank You! Please could you sometime find the grave of the Actor Ronald Lewis? Many Thanks.
A really great man he was I liked him in threw the keyhole nice to see his son next to him I wonder where all his awards are now! Crackin video till the next one 😊
He was a great interview on politics to speak to Nixon for all that time and then he could do media and interviewing all arounder. Thank you for the nice comment June wonderful comments! June!
Hi Graham I know it's always hard to remember they're not around anymore when you've watched them for so many years. Thank you for the nice comment cu soon Alan
Great video Alan obviously growing up in the 70s 80s 90s knew of him of course! Always think it’s strange most of these famous celebrities don’t have much family mention or fans? ❤
Another great video Alan it was a shame you had to walk all round the place And it was right by you're ride.. It's also nice they are buried together farther and son. Keep up the good work mate.
Hello English Bull, thank you so much for your encouragement. It was alright. It was only a small churchyard I usually look at the pictures on the internet so I can get a good idea but there was only a video and it looked like the back but never mind. You can't imagine that he did 20 years of through keyhole can you :-)
@@MotorHomeBeepBeep He was a hardworking man 20 years is a long time. No flowers on the greave was a bit sad but you talking about these people keeps there existence going. Well done mate. I love talking about my loved ones and friends that are gone coz it's like there still here and not forgotten. Cheers Alan.
Such a great presence on TV, sad when you find the grave sites and it appears that no one visits or tends the grave. Love your down to earth take. Thanks for the memories of these folks now gone who on the whole brought entertainment into our lives
It always surprises me how celebrities as big as him...don't get many visitors....same was with Russell harty...no flowers...it just makes me wonder if family just don't bother after they've gone..sad in a way....
Hello, Carlos I totally agree and sometimes the graves are neglected you think more fans would also go etc. I'm thinking of taking a plant pot with a little sign in it of the channel and leaving that on everyone Best Alan.
@@MotorHomeBeepBeep I think that would be a nice touch +/ or give the memorial a bit of a tidy up. Russel Har tys grave stone needed a quick sweep! I enjoy your vids thanks
People have lives to live. And they may not visit graves. Then how many are you going to visit. This church was close to his house and its out of the way. He had so many many friends. He had a stored room of letters from fans. He never threw away a letter kept them all. They could have filled a whole house..
One common thing one notices is how little people bother with graves in this country. I went to Austria once and visited several graveyards and all were full of UpToDate: clean, new memorabilia. TBH, I dont visit my dearly departed. I dont really know why
Janet, thank you ever so much for the positive comment it's lovely of you. I've already done the Krays a couple of months ago and I will upload it. For personal reasons, I had to take some time off and I'm still finding it a little bit difficult to upload. But I will do it I promise you soon. Thank you, Alan
Thanks very much but I am continually disappointed at the condition of the Headstones. My Mum died on the 25th May,1996 and though 26 years ago,is in much better shape than 80%+ of the Celebrity ones I see, though, often, they have died more recently. Does nobody ever visit the grave?
Talented man. "Who lays in a grave like this? " I don't know if the internets correct & if so if you'd have been interest but William Morris BIRTH 10 Oct 1877 DEATH 22 Aug 1963 (aged 85) Businessman. He was the founder of the Morris Motor Company and a philanthropist. He started his career in a bicycle shop but his genius for business led him to found Morris Motors which made him a multi-millionaire. Is supposed to be buried there as well.
Sorry, in your documentary near the end you say his wife keep where his final resting place is a secret, so his final resting place is still not clarified? Or am I losing the plot 🤣🤣
I visit parents grave and spend time taking of very dead flowers every time. To the point I’m not having a pot for flowers on mine at all, no point, to me dead withering flowers is worse than none at all. Adult children have their own lives to be going on with, it isn’t the concern of anyone else. Famous people are just the same, once their wife / husband has gone that’s it. In David’s case his 32 year old son Wilfred( I think that’s his name) dropped dead out jogging just 2/3 after his dad so his widow and other 2 boys would have been knocked sideways by that. .

Yes for me one of the 'best British' interviewers of all time! As ever great content, Alan, respect & thanks also!
It seems that in death these stars are alone in mostly deserted places.....very sad but you handle this so wonderfully...

Hi Mark i doing with pleasure Thank you for taking the time Alan
I remember Sir David frost on TV and I liked the keyhole it was my favourite TV program!!!
Hi Charlotte its a very interesting programme trying to guess Best Alan
Don't aim for success if you want it; just do what you love and believe in, and it will come naturally. it has in your case. Allan
Thanks for that I always enjoyed watching SR David frost 👍.
I was his driver for 12 years. Never saw him get upset ever.
David Nixon was a magician, Richard Nixon was a President 😂.

well done Alan, remember some of his interviews so well, particularly the famed Nixon one, very plain headstone too for such an enigmatic man.
Amazing entrance with your photo and him
David Nixon was a magician. I didn't know he worked his magic in the Whitehouse too! 🙂
Such Modest Stones and surroundings, for someone so rich and famous.
Thanks great 👍 show
All the best Brian
Hey Alan great post this yes amazeing church and David was always on TV
Hi Andy It was a very friendly little church with free tea and coffee and biscuits, but they won't let me stay overnight. I had to move on ahaha
A really great man he was I liked him in threw the keyhole nice to see his son next to him I wonder where all his awards are now! Crackin video till the next one 😊
He was a great interview on politics to speak to Nixon for all that time and then he could do media and interviewing all arounder. Thank you for the nice comment June wonderful comments! June!
It was Richard Nixon not David 👍
Thanks once again Alan for a interesting and lovely tribute to one of our most iconic broadcasters of our time. 🙏
Hi Graham I know it's always hard to remember they're not around anymore when you've watched them for so many years. Thank you for the nice comment cu soon Alan
Thank you so much for this video. How amazing that such an internationally famous man has such a modest gravestone.
I agree Cheers Roberta
Very interesting. Looks a very peaceful place ❤
Great video !

Very Good 👍 ENJOYED IT BRIAN UPTON ROLLESTON ON DOVE
Thanks Alan ❤️😊
It's surprising how humble the graves of some famous people are.
Yes that's what surprise's me .
David Frost was among the first of the popular interviewers: his style was always laid back, and he was very entertaining.✝️RIP
I love your videos watch them a lot
At least you didn't have to go through the keyhole to find him. RIP David Frost.
No I would not fit :-( haha cheers Anthony
Another great video Alan it was a shame you had to walk all round the place And it was right by you're ride.. It's also nice they are buried together farther and son. Keep up the good work mate.

Often wondered why his production company was called Paradine Productions the company that owns the rights to “Through the Keyhole”
Very interesting story great memories
Another good one Alan they always really interesting
Maureen, you give me the fuel to carry on? Thank you Best Alan

wondered what happened to David Frost thanks for sharing
It's lovely quiet location. The churches offer single track road
It always surprises me how celebrities as big as him...don't get many visitors....same was with Russell harty...no flowers...it just makes me wonder if family just don't bother after they've gone..sad in a way....

Yes Russell Harty was a sad loss.

There's something uncanny about knowing that a familiar celebrity is lying in a box six feet below you.
Well said 👏🏻
Rest in peace
Great vid!!

Hi TWWD your kind best Alan
How have I missed this? What a coincidence, must of just missed each other. ;-)
Good show on great guy.
THANKS FOR THIS
Hi Alan. Great to see David's grave. More details about Michael jackson please. Wow!
One common thing one notices is how little people bother with graves in this country. I went to Austria once and visited several graveyards and all were full of UpToDate: clean, new memorabilia. TBH, I dont visit my dearly departed. I dont really know why
I was quite surprised how unkept SDF's grave was and a lack of flowers or ornaments.
Yes it sad I agree
It looks to be of inferior stone !🏚
NEW SUBSCRIBER HERE 😁😀✌️
Thanks for subbing! Janice, that sweet
Richard Nixon.
Brilliant as always but could I ask a massive favour, is there any chance you do Reg and Ronnie Krays please xx
Janet, thank you ever so much for the positive comment it's lovely of you. I've already done the Krays a couple of months ago and I will upload it. For personal reasons, I had to take some time off and I'm still finding it a little bit difficult to upload. But I will do it I promise you soon. Thank you, Alan
@@MotorHomeBeepBeep Hope you are feeling ok, love your videos, you are a joy to watch, so much information xx
Richard Nixon?
You kept saying David Nixon (the conjurier) when you meant Richard Nixon
Thanks very much but I am continually disappointed at the condition of the Headstones.
My Mum died on the 25th May,1996 and though 26 years ago,is in much better shape than 80%+ of the Celebrity ones I see, though, often, they have died more recently.
Does nobody ever visit the grave?
Alan you be hitting 1 million subs before you know it
It's Richard nixon not david nixon
Did you sign the book ( s )
I think the stones reflect how much they cared about how they , looked after death .
Your dead ,your dead .
The dead don't mix socially.
2 or 3 years ago I went to see the grave of Dusty Springfield, lots of flowers, that says a lot
Why does he keep calling him David Nixon?,it's RICHARD Nixon
It call a mistake
Talented man.
"Who lays in a grave like this? "
I don't know if the internets correct & if so if you'd have been interest but
William Morris
BIRTH 10 Oct 1877
DEATH 22 Aug 1963 (aged 85)
Businessman. He was the founder of the Morris Motor Company and a philanthropist. He started his career in a bicycle shop but his genius for business led him to found Morris Motors which made him a multi-millionaire. Is supposed to be buried there as well.
Thank you David for that information. Very interesting. If I ever get near the place again I'll try and find William. All the best my friend, Alan
Richard Nixon NOT David
So sad no flowers 😢
What i notice is the total absence of flowers
David Nixon, lol.
🙂👍
Cheers Andrew
👍
And now for our home and studio audience… but not for our panel … he’s whose grave it is ….
A very plain gravestone for such a celebrity.. no flowers or decoration... so sad .😇
So his grave is not clarified??
Sorry Will I don't know what you mean ?
Sorry, in your documentary near the end you say his wife keep where his final resting place is a secret, so his final resting place is still not clarified? Or am I losing the plot 🤣🤣

Here Today gone Tomorow! Sorry on Screaming 👍
Its not David nixon
I only liked him in through the keyhole with Lloyd grossman
This people were true gernalist . Not for too much money
Wow I'm out of touch ! I didn't even know he died !! Lol .
Thanks for that. His death went under the radar. Next time you go to a Jewish cemetery wear your woolly hat!
Hi Nath ☺️
This is a sick channel😡😡
Please Stop doing these Shows, there's a far better bloke doing it.
There’s no compulsion to watch.
If you don’t like ‘these shows’ watch a ‘far better bloke doing it’.
I prefer Alan's. He's warmer.
Who the hell is David Nixon ?
I always remember when frosty confronted the Indian born insurance man on TV. He was accused of scamming people.
