Florence Nightingale 12 May 1820 - 13 August 1910) was an English social reformer, statistician and the founder of modern nursing.

A beautiful tribute to a wonderful, brave woman who devoted her life to the sick an vulnerable and must of brought so much light to those she cared for.
In 1986 I suffered from kidney failure and fast forward to present day I'm now terminally ill and I thank all that have helped me and offered their devotion to love and care for me so a huge thank you to Florence Nightingale who set the standards for today's nursing albeit the nurses are rushed off their feet bless them 🙏🏻
They are Angels all of our medical staff.
Yes, they are angels. I remembered the nurses who took care of me when I had my surgery.
Bless your heart mark always
@@nicolasimpkins3640 bless you too Nicole
Wow 90 she did well. She gave us so much to be grateful for. If only the world was full of her kind, what an amazing individual.
What a beautiful monument, and bench. This lady definitely deserves the recognition, and remembrance. Thanks Paul.
Changed and reformed modern nursing in Crimea as far as I remember (from school not actually there- not that old :)) basic things like washing hands with soap wasn’t being done. Infection rates plummeted because of changes enforced by Nightingale. Nursing became fashionable in Victorian Britain after Florence’s accounts published, whereas prior nursing had been deemed as an undesirable work for ‘ladies’. It’s been a long time since school; hope I haven’t made a mess with my Memory!
No mess whatsoever.

Yes you are right about washing hands and cross contamination / infection control. She was a hero.
Some male patients fall in love with the nurse looking after them even in todays hospitals, it's known as the Florence Nightingale Effect.
Hat off to FN. Jus’ a good person that did the right thing. I’ll be supporting the nurses in the upcoming battle for a wage increase. Always undervalued by the politicians.
A lovely tribute to the wonderful, brave lady who devoted so much of her life to helping the ill 🤒.
I had a swollen testicle once and was rushed to hospital quickly. Luckily for me, they managed to coax me out of pain and I felt a lot better. She set the standard and I'll always be grateful.
Thank you so, so much Florence ❤ 😊
Thankyou...enjoyed hearing about Florence nightingale... lived until 90..wow that was a good age...she was blessed
work as a A&E nurse in Western Australia we have an original brick on display of Florence Nightingale London house, great video Paul 👍
I might live in Kentucky but I absolutely love Unusual Things and try and watch all of them. I really enjoy seeing all the cemeteries while you talk about the person. I might not recognize the names of everyone but I watch a lot of the old English sitcoms so quite a few are familiar. And you’re so respectful as you’re walking and talking through the cemetery. I think I’ve found it! 👈🏻
It seems so incongruous that her relatives have a full inscription, and yet the woman who has saved so many lives and who continues to save lives well into the future, through her nursing principles and reforms, has so little on her headstone. It is almost obscene. Thank goodness she was recognised during covid with the Nightingale hospitals. It is almost unimaginable the impact that Florence has had on humanity and always will have on humanity. Absolutely staggering really. Thanks Paul.
She was an angel and a hero, Paul. Cheers for such an inspirational vid. 👍
What a lovely video paul
Florence was truly a beautiful person
Devoting her life to saving others
Im so glad she has such a beautiful headstone soo well deserved
Nice one paul
R i p florence nightingal
The lady with the lamp 🥀
Hi Paul, LOVE your channel ❤️ !!!! What a beautiful video. What an amazing woman 😇🙏 At first when I saw her tombstone I was mortified that it was soooooo simple and seemed to lack any gratitude, appreciation, admiration and respect for everything that this incredible woman accomplished but then I read that it was her wish for it to remain simple. Sounds like a deeply compassionate kind-hearted human being. God Bless you Florence!! You are walking amongst the angels. 😇😇 😇 😇
what a beautiful tribute to a very inspiring lady . God bless
What an amazing woman!
No doubt she was God sent.
Thank you.
Fascinating detail on such a special lady. My eldest daughter has newly qualified as a staff nurse and is working in accident and emergency. At such a young age she is seeing and dealing with harrowing personal tragedies daily. All of our health service staff are truly special people and it is a job I just couldn’t do. They deserve so much more support and salary than they currently get. Florence led the way and set an outstanding example. RIP Florence. Great video as always Paul. Thanks 👍🏻
Paul such a privilege to say thank you to you for this beautiful video thanks to florence an those nurses who followed in her footsteps then an now grateful thanks to all doctors an nurses who work so hard you all are florence nightingale with wings thanks paul so well done bless them all 👍👍👍👍
I really think it’s awesome the way you show the respect for those resting places you find.
I trained as a nurse at St Thomas’ Hospital at the Nightingale School
of Nursing back in 1977. She left a real legacy in what she did, especially in the face of opposition and that she was a woman who was determined to do what she wanted to do, as many women were suppressed and had no freedom and were expected to be submissive.
Thank you for posting this Paul. Your videos are simply brilliant every time. 👍🍺
Well done mate showing people where a legendary woman lays to rest👍. I don't know why I find a graveyard so fascinating even before I found your channel. I could walk around the graveyard reading gravestones happily and peacefully. Maybe because there's never no negativity on a gravestone you'll never read a bad things said about anyone.
I remember out teacher reading us, the lady of the lamp, in infant school, the soldiers used to get comfort from her shadow from the lamp when night fell.. Storytelling like this will always stay with us, it’s one of the best ways….
Fascinating, Paul. Another famous and influential person buried in a quiet country churchyard, like Montgomery and Churchill. There's a Florence Nightingale museum near London Bridge and nearby is the Old Operating Theatre and Herb Garret museum which depicts early forms of surgery, and isn't for the squeamish. They used to sprinkle sawdust on the floor to soak up the blood.
I just wish back in time when she passed away, that much deserved words of Compassion and better recognition were expressed on her Cenotaph..Thank God Paul has the respect and Compassion to make up for a Million missed Words....Thankyou and once again Paul, WELL PRESENTED AS USUAL....
I am a regular Paul, I congratulate you for getting up so early in the morning to bring us these. Florence Nightingale, the lady who started it all. Well done another enjoyable tour. I live in the south-west of Scotland.
❤❤ Thank you so much Paul for sharing this video of Florence nightingale. She was my Inspiration. Through her knowledge and wisdom wisdom I went in to care work with the elderly. She will always be my inspiration. A big, big thank you Paul. I am glad that I found your channel. A mega thank you. ❤❤
Such a beautiful tribute to such a wonderful lady and all she did for nursing.
I really respect Florence Nightingale not only for the way she helped those soldiers but also for being strong an doing her own thing when all women were expected to do was be homemakers. Her epitaph very humble but maybe that's the way she would have wanted it because she was very selfless it seems. I really enjoyed listening about her life thank you these videos always entertaining and interesing.
What a wonderful woman.
God Bless you Florence.
Rest in the joy of love and peace.
What a lovely woman ❤
Loved the tribute to Florence nightingale..thank you..xx
Oooooh looking forward to this one! Historical figures are some of my favourites…❤
I love these videos - thank you. There is the beautiful grave of Mary Seacole, the "Black Florence Nightingale", in St Mary's RC Cemetary next to Kensal Green Cemetary in London. Worth having a read about her if you haven't heard of her.
An absolute legend a truly inspirational woman. Thank you Paul - beautifully done as ever.
Wonderful woman. Brilliant video Paul❤
Wow can’t believe Florence nightingale grave is in a normal grave yard. That’s amazing.
What an awesome little graveyard. Love how the headstones are predominantly white and Nightingale’s is a larger marker and much more white than the rest… like a beacon… ❤
They could have written some nice things about her, surely. What an inspirational woman. Still talked about so many years later. The seat was nice, though. God bless her 🙏
Hi paul another cracking vid florence was and is an inspiration. And today where would we be without the hard working nurses today bless them all. R.I.P. Florence.x.
Thank you Paul, I have lived in wellow since 1981 it was special that you went to wellow church, such a beautiful church with so many people been laid to rest, love watching you, paul
So sad that she didn't have her full name on her tomb if you didn't know that was her without this video. And she turned down Westminster Abbey to be buried she must have been very modest lady. Thanks again Paul.
Dziękuje za przypomnienie tej wybitnej pielęgniarki.Sama jestem pielęgniarką i ta postać jest mi bliska.Cieszę się też za możliwość zobaczenia miejsca pochówku.
Was filling up watching that. 🥺 superbly delivered as usual Paul
Great video again.
As a fellow taphophile I love to see all of the cemeteries you are able to visit as I’m unable to travel far.
I do love visiting my local ones though and find them so calming and grounding.
Take care and look forward to the next one 😊
Thanks so much for all your visits I find them really interesting. Nearly all that you do should never be forgotten thank you very much for keeping all off them in our thoughts
What an amazing lady nurse and very caring and devoted person she was bless her ❤
What an incredibly wonderful lady ❤️
What an incredible human being -- RIP FN, you gave us so much, thank you!¡!
I was brought up near embley park in a town called Romsey great to see you there thankyou again for giving Florence the credit she so deserves x
What a wonderful lady. Rest in peace Florence ❤
Just watched this on my telly,and what a really interesting video about the great lady Florence Nightingale. Lovely churchyard,with the gorgeous sunrise on the clouds. All the information about Florence was amazing,you have done your research well Paul,as you usually do…….I wonder how many others watching you started singing country Road,take me home …. along with you as I did.
Thanks again Paul.
An excellent and interesting video Paul,
It's nice to see that they did Florence Nightingale proud by providing her with a beautiful memorial. It's great to see that it's standing the test of time. Years ago every church door was open for you to wander around. Nowadays, not so. Too many thefts and disrespect by a minority, have put paid to that. A sign of the times I'm afraid ...🙂👍🏻
Rest in Peace, Ms. Nightengale. Probably the mother of preventative care. Our lamps shine for you and those we care for.

I just love all this stuff. Stuff you would never get to hear about or see I think it’s great that someone goes around giving and showing us all this information it’s just so interesting
This was very interesting for me as my great great great grandfather was nursed by Florence Nightingale.
Thank you for the information you provide along with showing us the graves.
Glad you enjoyed it
Hi Paul thankyou for sharing and you have a great lil sing voice
Great presentation again Paul . Nice to remember a nurse who gave so much to people with health needs . We all need medical help at some time in our lives . I am currently on dialysis 3 times a week with great care given to me by THE NHS . I enjoy your tributes and wonder who will be next ? I think i found it !!!
This was brilliant Paul thanks I really enjoy.
Just joined your channel. What a beautiful place to be buried in. Very pretty. I could spend days looking around that cemetery. What a woman Florence was.
Thank you 🙏
More quality content. Thanks Paul 🙂
Wonderful lady. I’m just a night carer for dementia residents. But still practice some of the things she started. Really enjoyed. Thank you.
My pleasure, please don’t say “you’re just” All people that do the jobs of care work are amazing… that includes yourself 🙏🙏

Florence Nightingale
The Flonce Nightingale is the heroine who changed the world of nursing and the world of health. Healthy and successful greetings for channel owners and the world community. from Indonesian Nurses. (SATAR)
what a lady she was huge respect for her and all nurses today worth their weight in gold sorry l missed the live Q and A the other day l am going through it love the halloween stuff paul.
Yay finally you got there. Lol. Stunning little church too but was locked last time we visited.
The brief F. N. And dates of birth and death were in keeping with her views. She didn’t want any fuss made. A great lady who lived and died in power of her own convictions…
Two of my great aunts lived at Holloway, Derbyshire and we could see Lea Hurst from their garden. Both worked at the nursing home there back in the 1970s if I recall. They were both big fans of Florence. I hadn't known she was born in Florence!
Holloway about a mile from where I live ... crich
@@garymason3499 Lovely place to be
Hi Paul,
Thank you.
An extraordinary human being, who lived and achieved so much in her 90 year's.
With her legacy it would be impossible to calculate lives saved because of her knowledge and dedication.
I'm constantly surprised at graves of famous people you have visited and the very unremarkable churches and ground's that they now reside.
One last comment that church door at St Margaret's, with a firmer push would have collapsed into splinters, from what I could see of its current state.
Thank you for another great video Paul.
What a beautiful grave Florence Nightingale has..
It's a shame to see the long grass as this is what caused me to miss where my gt gt grandparents were buried but I found them.
You take us to some absolutely beautiful places and at lovely times of the day.
Florence was an extremely brave and determined lady for what she accomplished under pressure from certain people who resented her. We have so much to thank her for. My sister is a trained nurse, now retired, so she, in a way can thank Nurse Nightingale for her career and the people she, too helped during her time in nursing.
Thanks For Sharing 🙂✌️
What a great woman 😊.
Very interesting Video That you. 💥
You need to come to St Mary's church , great Brington, Northampton, it's where I believe lady Diana is buried along with her father Earl Spencer, and not on the island in Althorpe as everyone thinks , you must go to that church it's so beautiful, they also say there is a tunnel running from Althorpe to the church ..walking in there you feel like lady Diana is definitely there , great video 🖤
Thank you Claire, I will do 🙏
No,Princess Diane IS buried on the ISLAND!
@@davidknowles3459 yep so they say ...but it's what I believe, that she is in the crypt with her father ..
A true British Heroin X. Thanks for this always enjoy your content.
I love hearing about FN…she has a museum open to the public in St Thomas’s Hospital which I would love to visit one day!!! She was a wonderful lady who stands out as a very strong female of her time…not to marry so she could dedicate her life to becoming a nurse!!! RIP Florence…!!! X❤️🙃🙏🏻✝️
Fascinating vlog,you are very very sincere and respectful when filming, well done Paul, I've just watched another gem, r.i.p F.N. cheers mate.
Thank you for another interesting video. I enjoy watching them as I learn things and get to see the English countryside and the old churches etc, as I'm from NZ. Keep up the great work
Thank you for posting
Thank you. A fascinating woman, became familiar with her from the Anna Neagle film Lady with the Lamp. The graveyard looks lovely in the morning light. Keep up the good work.😉
epic grave to find paul, well done
I am a nurse and I remember in nursing school, the first lecture was learning all about Florence and her achievements to nursing. I am lucky to live near leahurst in Derbyshire and see her childhood home most days ❤
Another lovely, informative episode Paul. As always very respectful. Thank you. xx
Another great video Paul 😊.
Oh my goodness me! I still remember learning about her in primary school 🚸 wow. What a beautiful monument. Interesting vid Paul, ty. Have a great weekend 👍 😎 😁 x
👍👍 You should now follow this up with Edith Cavell at Norwich Cathedral!
Nice one paul i will be watching 🥀
My late mother who passed away on 19/2/2021 was a nurse. After getting married she still had her hands full, looking after us. Dealing with the various injuries that kids get and colds and other things like mumps. Ironically she passed away from Altzheimers. We all miss her so much. We have very pleasant memories of her though.
Such a beautiful display for Florence Nightingale. The bench that's dedicated to her is also beautiful too. Well done Paul.
I went to my local church's crypt, which they kindly allowed me to do... Churches are awesome inside
Thankyou,this has been absolutely beautiful,also educating to the younger generation,including me ,may Florence rest in piece,🙏🙏🙏
Loved the bench fitting memorial to her wonderful woman.If you could choose from the great people in history to have round a dinner table for me she would be one of them.My nana and mum were midwives in Second World Wartakes a certain personality to do nursing well.Thank you for showing us interesting as always.
Liked the video from Margaret P
