Mary Berry is always so spirited and kind. To know her handsome and precious son was taken away from her at such a vibrant age no words still can comfort the dear mother. Thankful her daughter survived the crash but much like her mother I gather she still may have survivors regrets. But with the loving Mom, as Mary Berry, you can see the love between the daughter and mother. I would love to have her as a neighbor. You are a very lovely lady Mary Berry and best wishes and keep on being on television for us on the other side of the pond..America.
Thank you for sharing your story Mary. It means a lot to those of us who've lost someone...you make us feel like we can talk about it, seek help, and allow ourselves to grieve so that we can move forward. Same to you, Gloria. It's never easy. Sympathy ♡
Mary Berry is so Wise and has taught us all who loves making food so many, many things and most of all to LOVE making it - thanks Mary Berry and thanks for always teaching us with your graceful way🍰❤️
I so much agree… but I truly think that book collection was worth SO much more…. I’d have bought it, gleefully for twice that… especially since it was HER collection !!! What is with those ‘heartless’ bidders?!?!! 😵💫
What an absolute treat to meet Dame Mary Berry and her beautiful daughter Annabelle and Mary's lovely Mother . Sad about son and brother William, quite brave of them to share. Such a humble warm loving family. God bless all.🙏🏻💕🙏🥀
Mary Berry has been a source of pride and dignity as a TV presenter. That was a cheap trick breaking her personal emotion on the telly a shite thing to do. If people had to know it can be googled. Such a kind hearted person who really shows you cooking from the old school bless her
Mary I got addicted to your cooking and cookbooks 2 years ago when I was in the hospital in Rochester New York on Christmas nite and watched you on the television I think it was your Christmas special.Youre kinda hard to find in New York but I sometimes catch you and always watch your shows.i just love your shows thank you
I have a cookbook collection. About 300 right now. During lockdown I went through it and found doubles so I donated those. Of course when we donated we ended up shopping and bought more. 😊
One more point...of the MANY issues that drove me nuts watching this. That cookbook collection was a treasure. Why not split it up into lots of 2 or 3? They likely would have gone for the total price for each one, esp if Mary threw in a current signed book of hers (her publisher would likely have done it for both the press and the tax writeoff...assuming you have the same writeoffs across the pond). SO many missed opportunities to raise more money for charity that these organizers blew! And for those saying it was so many years back, remember the price of Antiques (let alone those with a celebrity provenance) was higher then!
How crass of the producers to make Mary repeat what happened to her son when she is clearly still very affected by it. Once they realised she was still so upset they should have cut this part of the filming and not included it. Shame on them.
I also found that aspect of the show unpleasant, I so much wanted to put my arms around Mary. However, her testimony brings attention to the child bereavement Charity.
Do you ever think Mary , who has worked in television since the 1960s , would be aware of this and either not be part of the show or refuse to be asked or filmed … they wouldn’t do any of this with out her permission..
I think Mary chose to share that personal experience because these experiences need to be shared so that people do not feel so isolated. Can you imagine going through a painful bereavement & not even feeling you can talk about It?
As difficult it was for Mary to tell details of the death of her son, I think it was her choice to share the story with we the public. Also by the telling of the tragedy it leant a lot of credibility to her and authenticity to the organization she is doing the charity auction for.
How can Gloria possibly compare the instant loss of Mary's beloved William with the slow decline and ability to say goodbye to her beloved daughter? Both absolute tragedy's that cannot be compared apart from the broken hearts left behind with just beautiful memories.
I am 80 but as a very small child we used to visit friends of the family in Dunedin NZ . The mother was 90 and had 2 step daughters who worshipped her. I used to love looking in their cabinets aged 7. There little house was filled with beauty. I recall later years paintings by Cooper. Eveverything was left to third sister in Nelson New Zealand. I wonder where those paintings are now
I would have loved to have a chance to snoop through those cookbooks, even though I'm not much of a chef anymore. They just did things so differently back then.
Actually, prices of antiques are less now than they were 15 years ago. ITA about the internet and phone bidders (posted as much a bit ago), but that technology existed 15 years ago, especially for a celebrity auction. As much as the hosts kept saying "they want to raise as much as possible" for the charity, I didn't see any steps taken to do that. Heck, if they put on their own auction and used her name and that of the charity, I think they would have done far better. Some of the prices were absurdly low. Those lovely high quality glass plates and the rest of the set? You'd spend more for crap glass at Walmart! Appreciate you posting the timing, but sadly it doesn't excuse the terribly low pricing IMHO
These prices were INSANELY low!!! Here in the US, at any estate sale (let alone a Celebrity one) it would have earned many times more. Are prices usually this cheap across the pond?! Why in the world didn't they at least do it at an auction house that had an online component, like most do here, even the smaller ones. If folks are willing to pay the shipping, it opens up the world! They could have earned SO much more for charity!
Antiques are so abundant here in the U.K. that the prices are generally lower, most towns have a couple of antique shops and we have huge antique fairs up and down the country not to mention the weekly car boot sales where you can often find antiques at bargain prices
Gloria - so how much money do you expect to raise today? Mary - Between 6 and 700. Me - Wow! I'm thinking that's really generous of Mary to be offering up some of her possessions to be donated to a charity. She must be a patron for the charity & therefore going to use some of her celebrity contacts & name to raise that much money. Wait - whaaaat? 6 or 700 ?? I thought she meant 6 or 700,000.
I so much wanted to put my arms around Mary. Her testimony brings attention to the child bereavement Charity. Which, I suspect , was her motivation for doing the show in the first place. It couldn't have been easy for her.
Quite agree about speaking out, but for the sake of the principals and viewers alike, question a public, on-air probing and recounting of an enormous personal, and still quite painful loss.
So, they are not in Mary's house but her daughter's house, and yet they've been "rummaging" and found all Mary's things. Talk about confusing and honestly, not really that interesting
Didn’t you hear her say there is construction at her home - her kitchen?! Perhaps she packed up items she and her daughter no longer wanted/needed and took over to be examined. 🤷🏻♀️
How is it possible that this auction has no on line connection, no commision bids at all and not one Phone. Now you're left with a room full of bargain hunters. Or as I'd like to call them : vultures !I wonder if they charge auction fees. So they make money on charity, I sincerely hope not .Don't these people know they 're on tv?
Pity we have to watch this, goods gained thro producing high fat, high salt meals instead of her showing people how to cook healthy meals. Same as James Martin, Kerridge and all the rest who have cooked rubbish and then needed to diet. Think about it. They unfortunately are still going

When my son passed, there wasn't a support like Mary loves, bless her.

Having lost my son, to this day it tears my heart out, but I have to believe in telling about him keeps his life alive and meaningful.
👍

Wow, the collection of old cook books is a gem. So is Mary.
I cannot believe how low the bids were... Would have made online a lot more.
Gosh she’s a battle tank this one, I respect her more and more for overcoming so many challenges life throws at her.
What a beautiful presentation.
I adore Mary Berry.
Me too. What a lovely, sincere woman.

Mary I have enjoyed watching you for many years, what a joy
Thanks chef Mary wishing you and family always health and happiness ❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Mary looks a lot younger, but it fits her. She honestly looks very happy.
Love Mary’s charity!
Mary looks great. Fun to see her with her daughter.
I have a cookbook collection. About 300 right now. During lockdown I went through it and found doubles so I donated those. Of course when we donated we ended up shopping and bought more. 😊
Lovely program. Sorry to say when someone you love beyond explaining I can’t bare to let anything go. It breaks my heart.

I also found that aspect of the show unpleasant, I so much wanted to put my arms around Mary. However, her testimony brings attention to the child bereavement Charity.
I suspect that knowing a little of Mary she may have been quite determined to get the point across about her chosen charity?
Do you ever think Mary , who has worked in television since the 1960s , would be aware of this and either not be part of the show or refuse to be asked or filmed … they wouldn’t do any of this with out her permission..

Thank you for sharing this cute show...
I gasped when she said her mom is still alive. Oh my god.
Love Mary Berry she a very elegant Lady!!!
Very sad story regarding her son. RIP
I can’t imagine losing one of my children😞 My heart goes out to her…
How can Gloria possibly compare the instant loss of Mary's beloved William with the slow decline and ability to say goodbye to her beloved daughter? Both absolute tragedy's that cannot be compared apart from the broken hearts left behind with just beautiful memories.
another great program

Such a lovely lady ❤
This was filmed fifteen years ago look how young they all are pity they never had internet and phone bidders the items would have sold for a lot more
Actually, prices of antiques are less now than they were 15 years ago. ITA about the internet and phone bidders (posted as much a bit ago), but that technology existed 15 years ago, especially for a celebrity auction.

I'm sure they wouldn't have discussed the bereavement without her permission.

Wonderfull and knowledgeable vedio
I agree it was a tasteless comment, clearly it upset Mary.
Mary Berry beautiful soul
If someone had just pledged a pound for each time a host said the word, “kitchenalia,” nobody would have needed worry whether anything sold, at all!
mary is a true lady
This is going back a few years, a take it,it's pre bake off
gloria also lost a child her daughter caron keating
Yeah so she knows exactly how Mary feels about the loss of a child
Gloria - so how much money do you expect to raise today?
Mary - Between 6 and 700.
Me - Wow! I'm thinking that's really generous of Mary to be offering up some of her possessions to be donated to a charity. She must be a patron for the charity & therefore going to use some of her celebrity contacts & name to raise that much money. Wait - whaaaat? 6 or 700 ?? I thought she meant 6 or 700,000.
I've almost mistakenly presumed the host lady as Prunella Scales.
No reason to recount Mary’s awful loss. It clearly upset her.
I so much wanted to put my arms around Mary. Her testimony brings attention to the child bereavement Charity. Which, I suspect , was her motivation for doing the show in the first place. It couldn't have been easy for her.
Speaking about is, sharing in helping the cause is part of helping with the pain.
Quite agree about speaking out, but for the sake of the principals and viewers alike, question a public, on-air probing and recounting of an enormous personal, and still quite painful loss.
When they were in the auction sounded like something fell over and smashed
I'd love to know when this was filmed.
Checked Wikipedia and it mentions her mother died in 2011, so at least 11 years.
Just found it, this was filmed in 2009.
@@vintagemarie2391 i had the same question. Thanks for researching it 😻
I knew it must have been quite old because they didn’t even mention ‘Bake Off’.
I hate it when they over value items. It's like they are clueless.
That's the joy of auctions tho it's what people are willing to spend on the day
well Sandra, you might be good at making such evaluations. Theres money to be had if you can get the price right on a consistent basis. Good luck
Click bait. Not Mary’s house. Skipping this video without a thumbs up.
So, they are not in Mary's house but her daughter's house, and yet they've been "rummaging" and found all Mary's things. Talk about confusing and honestly, not really that interesting
Not with you on that at all. Cheers
Didn’t you hear her say there is construction at her home - her kitchen?! Perhaps she packed up items she and her daughter no longer wanted/needed and took over to be examined. 🤷🏻♀️
Her daughters dress!!!!!!!!!!1
so her children went off....
