    Thanks for the video. I'll most likely never make it there so appreciate the time you shared. It struck me while you were showing the surrounding land how much of the world he saw, and filled places with great music and energy to be at this peaceful, silent place. He left us with so much of himself and was an inspiration to so many he'll never be forgotten.

    I live in Suffolk, England but I visited Rory's grave on the anniversary of his death from 1996 until 2000, by which time it was becoming a bit too popular. I thought it was great that more and more people were marking his passing but by then I felt that I'd rather remember him by watching him in concert on video or whatever. I've promised myself I will revisit his grave at least once more though.

    Exciting video but sin the state of neglect of his tomb, the name is not read well. I think the record company should spend a very small part of the money they earned to get new flowers at least once a week. Rory will remain in our hearts but his memory on earth should be more cultivated, R.I.P. Gary

    I grew up in Cork in the 1970’s. Rory was our hero. His gigs in the City Hall each Christmas immortalised in Irish Tour’74 and in Tony Palmers eponymous film. His grave in St. Oliver’s in Ballincollig Near Cork is literally yards from my parents’ graves. Every time I visit, there are little gifts and momentous left by fans from all over the world. Rory was an incredible guitar player and a special man. Like all his devoted fans, I remember exactly where I was when I heard the news of his death at just 47 - the day the music died. RIP Rory .
