    What a shame that nobody trims those bushes. It Ain’t Half Hot was a favourite in our house when I was a kid. 50 is no age, life is fleeting. A good one Paul,

    Please someone trim those trees on his grave, what an amazing headstone true to his passion in life, acting.
    Only fools was a better series for having him in it and one of the best series ever made.
    Life is to short, so make sure you tell your loved ones how much you love them each and every day.
    Paul, thank you for your respectful way of showing your audience these amazing graves.

Please would you visit some war heroes graves (all war veterans are heroes) but I think you will really touch a nerve with your subscribers if you were to locate some Victoria / George cross recipients and tell us their harrowing stories of suffering and sacrifice for the freedoms we all have today. It would be so interesting and very moving. Who agrees?

Another person buried there is Art Wood and although he may be not so well known to some he does have a very very famous brother.Ronnie Wood of the RollingStones.When his brother died he was touring in America and at one point they thought the stones would have to cancal some of there dates so he could be with his family.

    Had the pleasure of meeting him in 1987 in Teddington. I was an apprentice carpenter on a job in the high street. He knew the builder and came to have a chat. He said they had the episode of Only Fools and horses 'Jolly boys outing' coming up to film plus he was in a Fox's biscuit advert. Other than that work seemed to be thin on the ground. Quite common for many actors. He was a lovely man to talk to. His builder friend supplied him with some materials he needed for a job I seem to recollect. Such a sad loss at a young age

    It looks like the heather that is low growing has been neglected and grown out of control, my own family plot in Windsor is now kerbed with marble chippings due to the fact my family is now living far and wide, and having volunteers tending a grave could be problematic if it offends or upsets close family, which is why plots that are 30 plus years old are better maintained by cemetery volunteers.
