Well said how true paul does a wonderful respectful job 👌👌👌
Poor little guy . can't imagine the pain his family went through. RIP Conner.
I’m crying right now
This rung home with me...years ago we lived in Sardinia top floor flat....my 4 year old son at the time pulled one of his ride on cars onto the balcony and decided to stand on it to look over the balcony....it still haunts me now and he's 29....we caught the ferry to the Isle of White a few years ago and and he's on top deck looking over the sea and I've got hold of his shirt he is a grown man but things never leave you when your a parent....
I remember in 1991 when the little Conor fell down from the buillding ! When i heard the very sad news î was speechless!!!
I thought of Mister Clapton his wife what disaster!!! Sometime fate is so cruel !!! Thank you Paul for sharing this awful story with us!!! God Bless this little Angel and the Conor's family!!! A French Man.
Oh my( the MOST DELICATE subject).
I live in Italy and remember this tragically sad story so well as my two children were 3 and 2 at the time. Lory , Conor’s Italian mum gave an interview where she revealed that had she not been pregnant at the time ( she had only just found out and was only a few weeks gone ), she would definitely have followed her precious son and thrown herself out of that same window that he had fallen from , seeing as she would have had nothing else to live for. Years later, tragedy happened again as that very baby that was inside her womb, now a grown man , took his own life …. Poor Lory 😢😢
Oh there are no adequate words for either loss or heartbreak. 😢 How does their mum survive? May God hold her up and close, until she sees them both again in heaven. 🙏🌹💙
Gosh that is heart Breaking to hea,r she lost both her sons , may she find some piece in her Life, I will pray for her Now , blessings to her From Ireland
Purtroppo é vero.. mi domando come una madre possa vivere con un dolore così immenso. Le auguro tanta felicità.
So sad....😢💔
I have lost one of my sons and I have secret fears that something will happen to the other one.Some things you never get over.
@@saries54 Sending you love and strength and asking God to lift you up, out of your fear, and hold you there, steady. ❤️ You and your son are in the palm of God's hand. Pray.🙏 He hears you, before your words are spoken. I (do) know this. 😌🌹
Beautifully handled, as always. It is heartbreaking when a child dies, beyond any words. Indescribable pain.
Yeah and if it happened to one of yours I'm sure you'd love a youtuber creeping around their gravestone for views
Why be negative, why be so cold?
@@jamesjameson4566 tad harsh..
@@magnetic_beacon9138 not really, it's a kids death, not a old actor
@@gel2503 I think I'm very positive
Little Conor reside and died in America, so I was a little surprised he is buried in UK. Thank you Paul for remembering Eric's little boy.
@Rosie Lee,Eric Clapton grew up in Ripley and went to school in Surbiton.I used to live 2 minutes away from his old school.I think Ripley holds an special place for him, I believe he moved back there a few years ago.It’s a pretty village in Surrey, not far from London at all but with a rural charm.
Conor was buried in England because his father lives their Rosie Lee. His grave is right next door to the church. It makes it easier for his dad to visit. Conor's mom lives in Italy. It wouldn't help to bury him in America, both parents would have to travel long distances....hope this helps.
Resided *
@@tiffanyWillowswhere was the 2 child who 20 buried
Eric's Mother and Grandmother are buried near Connor and Eric intends to be buried there as he lives nearby.
I remember that tragedy, he fell out of a tower block window in America, the tears in heaven song he wrote after it. Very sad 😔
With dignity, you beautifully spoke about Connor Clapton. Sweet picture, handsome boy
We had tears in heaven played at my sons funeral 14 years ago, bad day but full of love. Thanks for this, very touching pal 💚 👍
So sorry for the loss of your Son , may he rest in peace 🙏😢💔
@@natalieangelo54 💚
You don't need to justify it mate, beautifully handled. My friend lives in the house across the road so I've seen this grave. Eric has bought a plot in this graveyard for himself too as Ripley is his boyhood home.
He can probably get buried in the same plot as Connor. I’m sure it’s a family grave.
@@letitiakearney2423 he's bought a plot for himself over near the top. Not sure why.
Paul you are always respectful. I have lost 4 of my kids. There's nothing in the world like the pain of losing a child. Rip Conor. You are playing with my kids. Much love. Thank you
You must be a very strong lady to have lost four children and still carry on through your heartbreak. Four angels 👼 waiting for their mum to come home one day.
Rosemarie I'm so sorry, that's so sad.
Oh my goodness I am so sorry to hear that!! Sending you so much love xx
❤
Im so sorry for the loss of your 4 children xxxxxxxxx
The compassion you show in these videos Paul is outstanding.
So touching 😢
I remember this as if it was yesterday. Rest In Peace little Conor Clapton. 💐
Living in Italy his former wife is often interviewed.
She never talks about it but you can tell she has never got over it.
She seems a very kind and nice person.
@Lesley Boyle, I remember reading an interview with Lori del Santo a few months after Connor’s death.She came across as an extraordinary person, intelligent and thoughtful.She said at the end of the interview that it greatly upset her that ‘the nanny didn’t even say sorry’.That brought tears to my eyes.To think that small gesture would have eased her pain and it wasn’t forthcoming.To me it spoke volumes about her and her decency and goodness.
The story of Conor chokes me up every time. I think every Mum or Dad would feel the same. I'm glad the flowers and toys on his grave show that he has not been forgotten.
Thank you so much for visiting Conor in heartfelt remembrance and with respect. I live in Texas. My little granddaughter, Salem, also born in August like Conor is now his age of Four and a half. So Conor’s tragic story hits home very hard for me when I think of Salem. Tragedy can strike in endless ways. I pray for her protection every day. So how I wish that every single second of March 20, 1991, would have been different for Conor and his parents. But only GOD knows the reason and purpose behind this tragic moment. Only GOD KNOWS.
Oh my God I remember this tragedy this was absolutely heartbreaking
Paul, you walked past the grave of my great, great uncle and aunt in this churchyard. They were the landlord and lady of the Half Moon pub in Ripley in the early 1900’s. Thank you for paying your respects to Conor and allowing me a view of my relative’s grave. I’m now in France and unlikely to visit it again.
Ahh thanks for the comment, and glad you got to see their headstone 🙏
I used to live just down the road from there, and whenever I passed that church, my blood would run cold at the thought of what happened to that little boy 💔
This is such a tragic thing to have happened to any parent and as a father myself I don't know how I'd have gotten through it the way that Eric Clapton has his song tears in heaven was written for Connor and it's one of my favourite songs of all time
So sad to think that this little boy, Conor, would be have been 36 this August.....probably with children of his own and grandkids to Eric.
Such a tragic accident.
Eric got some criticism for writing Tears In Heaven.....
But not from most of us.... and the song must have been a great comfort to many who have lost young children over the years.
God Bless you Conor. (And, thank you Eric. Stay Strong.)
Eric will never get over the passing of his beautiful son, it is heart breaking. My deepest condolences to the family xx
Great video Paul! Always wanted to visit Conor. Such a tragic story .
Thank you Scott, really appreciate that buddy. 🙏
Wow, wasn't expecting to see you in the comments. Hope all is well Scott. Collab one day maybe?
@@thesimulatorguy4248 We have spoken about a transatlantic one at some point. 🙏
@@UnusualThings1 that would be awesome, maybe combine both youre love for George Michael
This is an artist 'child, its a private' family ""fame" ends when TV screen is off, this is intrusive on someone's private life and family
Aww he would have been one year older than my daughter, and she has just had her first baby. I can’t imagine the pain of losing a child, it’s like his family lost their future. RIP little man 🙏
beautiful video such a sad story a little boy died far too soon rip little one
That was so beautiful, respectful & dignified. Conor died so tragically young and I hope he is watching down on his parents. He will be forever missed
My partner is going to the Royal Albert Hall Saturday to see Eric Clapton once again we shall be thinking of Conor
Respectfully done Paul...God bless you Conor 💙
Well done Paul, so very respectful as always. This hit home as i remember my daughter was the same age at the time & I also have a 4yr old grandson now, it breaks my heart, as do all the tragic children that have lost their life. Love to his family, it's something you never get over.
yes I had just had a Baby at that time , and I remember it so well ! I felt so Bad for Eric and his Family ,A little angel in Heaven now, Bless him, love from Ireland
I remember this story so sad I can not imagine the pain is parents wen.thro god bless all
I’m crying as I watch this ..such a sad story …I met my husband in 1991 and remember when we heard about Conor ..poor little chap .
I could never have children and I can only imagine the utter devestation and heartbreak losing a child causes . I know this from my own parents when my twin died and they spoke about her when I was growing up. Nearly 50 years later and I never say anything about her as the pain I can see and hear when I did try to ask in the past my dad has never spoke of her. Nobody ever gets over the death of a child , or anyone , just learn to live with it and the indescribable heartbreak and pain as best one can …
Thankyou for another respectful video, u truly are a kind gentleman and show the upmost respect and sensitivity when doing these . Beautifully done as always .
Poor Conor , God bless u little man ..RIP ❤️
Hi Paul anyone who has lost a child knows the pain Eric and his partner have went through it never leaves you just learn to cope with it such a tragedy may he rest in peace take care stay safe m8 👍
You are so sincere and respectful Paul. I do remember this happening and the heartbreak for Eric, also the Tears in heaven written and sung for his little boy. What an extremely sad thing to happen, it could have been so easily prevented. So very sad, sweet dreams Conor, bless you darling xxx
I remember this horrible accident so well and I can't believe it is 31yrs ago. Thank you for doing it in the respectful way you always do. RIP Conor
Beautifully done. ❤️
The story of Conor Clapton touches me again and again. Such a beautiful young boy. How can you cope with such a tragedy as a parent... RIP Conor.
Can’t believe it’s been that long already since this happened. I have a son called Connor and couldn’t even imagine my life without him.
This is mad; I heard the Eric Clapton classic only yesterday which he had written for his beautiful son Conor “Tears in Heaven”, then you give us this beautiful tribute. Thank you so much, your respect throughout all of these videos is truly appreciated and you really do make such thoughtful and intriguing content xxx
Thank you for watching and for your lovely comments 🙏
I’ve got a one year old boy and I teared up at this as I never new all of the circumstances in his death. Thank you for your respect and the way you handled this.
You did it well. As a huge fan of Eric's, I remember exactly where I'd been the night when I came home and heard the news. One of those moments you never forget and always remember where you were when you heard it. I'd only seen Eric just two weeks before it happened as part of his mammoth 24 nights at the Royal Albert Hall. He seemed tired (not surprisingly!) but gave it his all as he always does. I'm sure he was looking forward to a well deserved break then tragedy struck. Many people wondered what on earth Eric would do following such a tragedy and of course we all know the songs that followed. 2 years later in March 1993, I went to see him again the night after he won the armful of Grammy awards for Unplugged and he received a standing ovation just walking onstage before he'd said a word or played a note. There was such an outpouring of love towards Eric in that moment that I'll never forget.
That was lovely Paul, very touching and respectful. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers Kev. 🙏
Our passed should not be forgotten. Thank you for sharing this darling little boy's life and passing. RIP Connor
Such a beautiful tribute to Conor, and handled with the utmost respect, extra special when it involves a child. There is a heart wrenching backstory to Eric’s, Tears From Heaven, told as I recall by Phil Collins, Eric’s good friend. Having written the song for Conor, Eric called Phil and played him the song as he wasn’t sure it was any good. Considering the emotions involved I imagine it clouds one own judgment, but Phil told Eric it was brilliant and should be recorded. The rest, as the saying goes, is history. I hope I’ve got this correct and more than happy to correct any errors if someone recalls it better than me. Rest in peace little Conor and may your soul be reunited with Dad when that time comes 🙏🏻
this is why i love watching your videos, you give a great back story of what lead to their passing, but its the pure respect that you give to them and the cemetery. thank you
You never get over when you lose a child rip little man fly high in heaven now
Very respectfully carried out Paul. Have a great weekend buddy.
Absolutely fantastic job on this sensitive one paul .. hats off to you .. 👏
Yes you do show respect for every grave visited x
The best thing about your videos mate is that you care and show genuine empathy. This channel is going to be big soon and you deserve the success because you are real and honest which is rare these days on here.
Thank you for your kind words…. 🙏
Was so sad when it happened. I love Eric Clapton and felt so much for him, his family who lost this beautiful boy!! So so tragic!! You have a respectful and beautiful soul, Paul. God Bless You!! 💖❤
How could I forgot this date, my son Conor was born on March 20 1991, it's so tragic I remember that my partner told me that Conor Clapton died. I felt extremely sad because I have been holding my newborn baby Coner in my arms. It's a hard time to lose a child. We let the little angel rest in peace that he can be reborn.
Thanks for sharing your lovely words.
Beautiful wee boy. What a dreadful thing to happen. 😪
😢💔 this tragedy has haunted my mind since it happened….. so sad 😭✝️ RIP beautiful little Connor 💙 🙏🏻
Dear little lad. How awful and such a tragic accident! Very well handled Paul. Really love how you take flowers or something and put on the grave when you go. Very respectful 😊.
As someone with a debilitating fear of heights the manner of Conor's passing horrifies me. That poor child. Sensitively and respectfully handled as always, Paul. Thank you. R.I.P. Conor.
I was in Ripley during his funeral .... really sad
This was tragic so sad He would be about the same age as my daughter now Makes me grateful for every day lol ❤️🍀🙏
Conor Clapton RIP
Your a sympathetic film 🎥 🎞 maker Paul.
Thanks for keeping these special memories 😊 alive xx
You handled that so respectfully with good grace. You are so right that Conor needs to be remembered. It will give his family comfort. Well done Paul.
Never forgotten, such a sad day. I remember this.
Paul I must say beautiful handled and lots of respect rightly shown. Well done mate
A touching and respectful video Paul...
Some time ago I sat and watched the story of Conner and how he tragically died ..A friend of mine who sang in a local band used to sing the song Eric wrote for his son ..
It always touched me and then I came across your visit to his grave ..
Thank you xx
Very moving, lost my youngest son 4 yrs ago, still hurts, thank you for the Q and A last night on your channel, think you answered every question I asked, and I asked alot, cheers 🍻
So sorry to hear that John, thoughts to you and your family. Thanks for watching and I try to get through as many Questions as I can. 🙏
@@UnusualThings1 tears in heaven, was played at my sons funeral, thank you for your kind words , appreciate it Paul 🙏
Bless you John and your son too. I lost my step daughter a couple of years ago. It never gets easier but you learn to cope better as time passes. Their always in your heart.
@@frank290862 sorry for your loss, it's an unreal feeling, and in my self pity, I completely forget there are others in the same situation or worse
I remember my dad telling about this when I was young and felt so sad and upset at the tragedy even at a young age.
Thank you for remembering Conor in a respectful way Paul.
Paul you are so respectful, Thank you for highlighting this , I can remember this happening like it was yesterday , one of the saddest Tragedies I have ever come across tbh, rest in peace Connor 😢
I personally believe that you are always extremely respectful when visiting the final resting place of these people. Never ghoulish and always thoughtfully presented. I agree with you that this was a tough one, but like many people I remember this terribly sad story. Thanks for sharing.
So sad, I think you handled that video very respectfully, it must of been difficult x
Thank you Paul ❤️
I remember this tragic incident resulting in Connor's death. So very, very sad. Even now I could cry when i think of what happened. You handled this in a most kind and respectful manner and the flowers was a lovely touch.
I feel you handled that appropriately. Very dignified. And as you said, he has a story to tell too, and deserves to be remembered. I'm one of those people that also lost a child, and it's a special sort of pain.
Fab video you are so kind and caring keep up with the good work
I remember this Tragedy, absolutely heartbreaking, Thankyou for showing such respect 🖤🙏
This is so sad. What a beautiful little sweetheart. It is the first time I have seen his picture, 😢. So very gorgeous 😢. God bless you Conor darling. ❤
Such a pure little soul goes straight up to heaven, no delays, no frontier checks.
God would have obliterated any pain he would have otherwise undergone and he is at present enjoying himself in the company of Jesus and the angelic hosts. I hope his parents see this and believe it, it will help them on their own journey. God bless.
You took me on an emotional ride. Thank you for showing the human side of us, Paul.
Hi Paul I watch your vlogs all the time and every time you handle each one with compassion and sensitivity it was so sad when some one so young dies
As always Paul another very respectful video and I totally agree with you about keeping their memories alive, Conor will never be 5 or 10 or get married etc, he sadly lost his life in a tragic accident, so this way he will be remembered and talked about. My sister often go to our Mums grave but while there we visit others we know and lots we don’t know, we look, we read the headstones and we just remember them, they were once living and now gone but they should never be forgotten. Love your videos and its lovely to think after these people have gone they are still remembered.
Very respectfully done. St. Therese of Lisieux once said that 'where there is a sudden death there is a sudden glory' .. May Conor be numbered among the angels of God.
Such a sad day, beautiful Conor..such a sad tragedy.. being a mother of three sons and a daughter at the time..I held them so close..🙏🌹😭later My oldest son 44 was paralysed in a car crash age 21,my 2nd son 40 broke his neck in a bike crash age 23 .. my 3rd son 37 ,my daughters 33,20 ..the precious gift of our children..then our grandchildren..when my grandson 22 considered getting a bike my heart sunk.I almost lost my son's ..we can only imagine the heartache..💔🙏
That’s what I like about you, you have respect for people. Your a a Great person, I enjoy everything you post. Thank you, so much 🙏🏻
Thats one of the reasons i love watching your unusual things. You are always respectful caring considerate and mindful. Such a caring man. Thankyou Paul x
So nice of you
Beautiful cemetery and story! Thank you for sharing the story.
All these are brilliant Paul. Much respect . Beautifully done 👍
Paul,you told this little angels story so well,and very respectfully.When you laid those beautiful flowers it brought a lump to my throat,a terrible accident that no parent should go through.Thankyou Paul,you are a very kind sensitive man.❤️❤️
Wonderfully Presented as usual.Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for taking us on another Journey Paul.
It's so devastating to hear of a child that has passed on, before their life really started.
R.I.P Connor ❤🙌🏼✌🏼🙏
Outstanding Paul, very respectful. Thank you for sharing.
Beautifully done paul as always. So heartbreaking especially as conor was so young 💔 Thankyou for helping him to be remembered.
RIP sweet boy 💔
Paul your journeys are not small,you tell all your video's with respect and empathy!!!!🙏🇬🇧
What a horrible tragedy. He was such a beautiful child. Love and prayers to Eric and Lory. Rest in peace sweet little Conor.
It's just so sad. Thank you, Paul, for all your videos. I really do enjoy them , so touching
The pain of a child's death is beyond grief. Even though most of us never knew this little boy or his parents we feel their pain. Surely children have a special place in Heaven resting in Gods eternal Love. So innocent and pure it could not be otherwise!
Paul just seen your film and have to say you handled this super sad occasion with respect as usual and the flowers lovely. Well done. 😔
Just Love Your Channel So Much In All Aspects 👏🏻😀👍🏻 Keep Up The Great Work
I've only just started to watch these over the last few weeks you bring everything across fantastic paul
Thank you Derek
Conor was such a beautiful boy. Thank you for sharing. This tragedy still breaks my heart to this day! 💔
Very empathetic and compassionate for this vlog Paul totally agree with you about keeping the memories alive.
The loss of a little one will always be very difficult to speak about. Thank you Paul for your delicate and extremly respectful video, it will be appreciated . May you Rest in Peace Connor.
It's "Conor". Not Connor.
I really love your videos. You are so respectful of the people and Graves your visiting. It's quite touching. I care for my grandparents and great and great grandparents Graves as they are such lovely monumental works of art. But the respect you show is amazing and it's informative. Thank you again!
Thank you Paul, for a sympathetic and caring video.
Very respectful and kind of you to place the flowers there.
I am really enjoying your videos, as I am learning more about each person, and you film, and present extremely well.
Thank you.
