+1🙏👍✌️I know him when I was in primary school since 12 years old from his movie "Cleopatra" , and he acted as Antonio, and Elizabeth as the Egypt queen 🙏👍✌️🌹
Thank you LT for taking us to see Richard Burton's grave. We will never forgot him, he was one of the best actor's that there ever was. Thanks again for sharing 👍👍
Richard Burton lived in such a beautiful village. Small and intement. He had a very adventurous and unique life. He is buried in a very beautiful place . He lived a life that will not be forgotten.
We visited Richards grave today, 23/12/23, after travelling to Celigny from Geneva. As a fan of Richard, it was something I have always wanted to do. It was worth the effort. Celigny is a small, typical Swiss village, in beautiful surroundings. I can understand why Richard chose to stay there. God bless you Richard, you were truly a great man and actor. 🙏🏻❤️
I once stood with my Mother, about 15 feet away from Richard & Elizabeth, who were having dinner at the Savoy Hotel in London, in the 70's. We didn't dare to approach them at the time. But we were heart broken later, when we found out they never turned their fans away. Truly a wasted moment. And never got the chance again. But he did smile and wink at me (I was only young). I did write to Elizabeth years later, and told her my story. And how one of my favourite movies of hers, was NATIONAL VELVET. That beautiful lady, sent me a magnificent signed photo of herself, and also included a special photograph inside the envelope, of her in National Velvet. What an amazing actress. And a special soul. Thank you Elizabeth. Richard was one of the finest actors we have ever had the pleasure of watching. That magnificent voice will never be emulated. No amount of Oscars could have told us any more than we already knew. He was the best. It is such a shame their wish to be buried together back in Wales, never became a reality. Because their souls truly belonged together, underneath all the angst. Rest in Eternal Peace Richard. I hope you have found each other once again 🙏💔 Xx
To Mandy songwriter 95 Yes, I thought it was a shame Elizabeth was NOT buried next to the love of her life, Richard. Later she had formed a new, different relationship, with her friend Michael Jackson. In the old days, in such circumstances, someone would be buried in one place - but their HEART in another place!
To be honest I would have Loved Richard to have been buried back home in Wales, Perhaps inside Cardiff Cathedral ? He was on of Wales Greatest Treasures, Thank you for bringing us to visit his resting place, I have to say it looked a lonely yet enchanting place. R.I.P. Richard. Far Too Loved Ever To Be Forgotten. Safe In The Arms Of Jesus XXXXX
I visited Céligny back in 1998, his house, the pub and his grave. What I remember mainly, is the pub/restaurant ant the wall inside the pub with all photos and pictures of Richard Burton. That was a great day for me - and sad as well. He has always been my all time favorite actor.
Richard Burton was a fabulous character, with the most wonderful voice in the world. I remember he asked every morning, “who do I have to send flowers to today”, for fear of who he might have offended by his drinking the night before. Absolutely loved him.
Вечная память великому актёру. Как жаль,что алкоголь погубил столько светлых душ. Не легко отличаться от других. Это стрессы и порой творческое выгорание. Но алкоголь никого не спасал. Люди поздно понимают,что жизнь уже на дне стакана. Вечная память тебе,Ричард. Мир твоей душе.
A wonderfully informative yet poignant video and tribute to a great Welsh Actor who died before his time, without winning an Oscar, but as one commenter said they mean nothing these days sadly! I’ll always remember Richard Burtons powerful and distinctive voice quoting ‘Rage against the dying of the Light’ R.I.P. Richard, thanks 🙏 for sharing this video, regards from an all time admirer of his acting skills! from Derby’s in the U.K. 🤗
A beautiful place and a lovely resting place for a great actor and human being. That's how it should be. RIP Richard 🙏 a giant among actors..ps did anyone see his tribute speech to Frank sinatra...that voice and the amazing words he used ..a true wordsmith...👍 Frank was emotional so was I LOL..
This takes me back , I used to love walking around old graveyards, the new graves never interested me , I would try and find neglected graves , and old graves hidden away, on a side note , Burton was an incredible actor in 1984, he was incredible.
Lived in Switzerland, and now buried there to avoid paying taxes. There's a few British actors buried in Switzerland David Niven, Charlie Chaplin to name a few .
What a beautiful place where he lived,and the grave fits the surroundings perfectly,great actor ,orator and very interesting person,great video ,showing lots of information and extras excellent WONDERFUL VIDEO FIRST CLASS PRESENTATION
Sir Richard Burton was one of the best actors of his time. He left a large imprint on the world. He is still missed. May he Rest In Peace forever in the Light.❤️👏
Gentle correction. It's hard to believe but Richard Burton the great Welsh actor was never knighted. The actual "Sir Richard Burton" was British explorer Richard Francis Burton.
@@LTJones I received very sad feeling around that grave, and had to sit with it for some time afterwards, seeking understanding. My nature is of naturally mystical intention that's developed throughout my life, and watching your video left me wondering where and how, Richard Burton might be now. We do not merely stagnate in spirit,, after our bodies have been layed to rest in the ground, but a lot of what was sad in our lives, may well be put to rest there, be left behind as the dust of life, while we are set free in spirit and can move on towards a better future. 🙏🏻💖
Thank you for this heart breaking sad ... but beautiful story ... Loved it so much ...Great actor ...and a humble place of rest . ! Thank you LT Jones .for this .
Thankyou for an interesting video, I didn’t know he was buried there. What a beautiful place to live. So peaceful. I can still hear his beautiful voice now after all this time. RIP Richard, a grand Welshman. 😢
Człowiek jest tylko chwilą, na tym padole, albo zostajesz w pamięci bliskich, znajomych, albo trawa, piasek Cię wchłonie. Swieć Panie nad Jego Duszą, Amen
Nice and respectfully made. My mum wouldve loved this as she went to school with Richard and even went out on a few 'dates' with him...when he died it was as if my family had lost a favourite uncle..you have covered some important key points in your film particularly about Richard's brother..thanks for the care.
my mum also went to Dyffryn Grammar Schol with him Clive, and she sat by him. He helped her with her history and she helped him with his Welsh ! We lived in Cwmafan, the next village down from Pontrhydyfen, and mam and dad, in latter years lived opposite Graham Jenkins in The Avenue Cwmafan !!! I remember when I was home from Australia, he and Liz visited The Copper House in the village.
Richard Burton was one of the great actors in history. His voice was unique, his readings unparalleled in their feeling and poetic vigour. Thanks for sharing. The grave site is beautiful.
I live in Céligny and you actually passed my house on the way to the cemetery. It wasn’t a coincidence that Alistair Maclean’s grave is in the same cemetery as he also lived in Céligny with his wife Gisela, who is buried next to his grave.
@@LTJones I believe that it was in the area called « Murat » and maybe « chemin du Pry », I’ll ask someone I know who knows everything and all the gossip in Céligny.
born into simple hardworking beginnings! live a life people could only have dreamed of! luxury! FAME, and fortune! and in the end as he wished. a simple grave in a quiet area of a small graveyard with a simple headstone with just a name engraved! amazing man!
Thank you for this excellent video. I've been an admirer of Richard Burton since the late 1950's and was honoured to have seen his live performance of "Hamlet" on stage in 1964. A magnificent tour-de-force I shall never forget.
@@LTJones Since we share a mutual admiration of Burton, I am taking the liberty to send you a threnody I wrote on the tragedy of his death which deeply affected me. ELEGY ON THE DEATH OF RICHARD BURTON Burton is dead! The words like hammer-blows Re-echo in the caverns of my mind, still racked with disbelief. Burton is dead and through the mists of Wales The gallant knights and princes of the past, O'er moor and meadowland in bright array Troop forth in ghostly majesty to bear A final tribute to their noble son Who sleeps eternally in foreign soil. Burton is dead! The graves of poets tremble at the news And voices of new bards are strangely still To hear the replication of the chords Which rose to thrill the English-speaking world. Burton is dead and 'though the mind must grieve, His torment now has ended. He has joined With Burbage, Garrick, Irving and the rest The quintessential HAMLET of our age. J. Reilly August, 1984 That was my poetic tribute to the greatest actor of the 20th century. Hope you enjoyed it. Although I have never been to Switzerland, I have been to Wales. In 1988, I visited Laugharne and paid my respects at the grave of Dylan Thomas, drank a few pints at Brown's and toured the Boat House. A wonderful experience. On the same trip, I went to Pontrhydyfen and tramped through the rain past the house where Burton was born and the Miners' Arms which was unfortunately closed. All was not lost however as I did find another pub where I raised a few glasses to Burton's memory.
A very remarkable, triumphant, & tragic life! Richard was very driven and often a tormented soul. One has to admire his great talent and soul-searching honesty. Nice tribute documentary. Thanks for uploading.
How can you not give this guy an Oscar? Just goes to show you how fucked up Hollywood really is? He and Oliver were two of the greatest of all time and two of the most under appreciated of all time!!
Richard Burton don't need an Oscar to prove that he was Actor of highest class both in Stage and in films. He was One of few great British actors dominated in 60s and 70s Of world cinema. He may rest on peace in heaven.
Richard Burton was a great actor,he was so lovely real gentleman.I love him so much.I have always loved Richard and Elizabeth.The are / were my favourit couple.❤❤
It is ashame he could not have been buried in the country of his birth. That being Wales of course. A burial site in the Welsh valleys would have been truly special for all Welsh people.
His amazing voice on War of the Worlds is truly the best ever. Still makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. A very moving video. New to your channel and going to make my way through all your videos.
His performance in 1984 was mesmerizing and terrifying. He should have got a best supporting oscar for that. Also his Beckett was tremendous. The Oscars get it so wrong much of the time. Thank you. Very interesting.
You are right. He was cheated of an Oscar several times but I always believed the Hollywood elites were jealous of him. They probably reasoned that, since he had Liz, what else did he need? It also irked me that he was never knighted by the Queen. He was infinitely more worthy than some of the twits and drug addicts I could name who did receive the honour.
@@jacksonreilly3441 I agree with you 💯%. Hollywood is very judgmental when it comes to presenting the wholesome American package. True, Burton and Taylor did misbehave terribly with Eddie Fisher. They carried on in front of him and in public. Had Burton been an American, it would not have mattered so much, but they blamed a British man, for tarnishing and corrupting the squeaky clean image of their wholesome, all American child star, Taylor.
@@Conservatives-2029 True, they were scandalous. I was a young man 60 years ago when it was going on and people were truly shocked. If it happened today, I doubt anyone would even blink!
I often wonder if his siblings had the marvellous voice similar to Richard. The Welsh language adds something special to the sound of their voices. Could listen to any welsh man read the telephone book
@@LTJones your welcome I am glad that his place of rest is cared for, I make the trip over there from Pittsburgh, penna just to visit the town and place a rose on his place of rest. I really felt at home over there, sometimes I feel sadness deep down because of his death your video gave me comfort and you have allowed the public to see the quiet, peaceful and beauty of the area, I can fully understand why he he lived there and why he wished to rest there. I have subbed to your channel and am binge watching all your videos, you have a talent for videos. God keep you safe on your travels
Um ator de tão grande prestígio afinal jaze em uma sepultura simples e esquecida. Porém sua bela figura permanece na memória de seus fãs e admiradores . Suas interpretações no cinema não serão esquecidas.
2023..Still listening to Under Milkwood....very often. Richard Burton's beautiful voice soothes me 😢 From the UK ❤
Thanks for watching and leaving a comment
Yes indeed, for Milk Wood no-one else will do. Pure Welsh magic.
I saw Under Milk Wood early 1970's in London. Loved that film. Richard and Elizabeth were fabulous in it.
Richard Burton didn't need an Oscar to tell people what a great actor 👏 he was
You are 10000 percent correct
I agree he was the best of the best ❤️
Well said Fiona ❤

Well said
There's no denying Richard Burton was a great actor.
I could listen to him speak forever. That voice!!!
Sad but true👍
BUt like many who found fame and fortune, his life was shortened by alcohol
My grandfather was from Wales, although I never met him but my father looks & sounds like Burton.
Especially War of the Worlds, soundtrack I bought in the 1970’s..
Ironically l thought 1984 was his best movie.

Hi Mandy, thanks for sharing your story. All the best, LT

To Mandy songwriter 95
Yes, I thought it was a shame Elizabeth was NOT buried next to the love of her life, Richard.
Later she had formed a new, different relationship, with her friend Michael Jackson.
In the old days, in such circumstances, someone would be buried in one place - but their HEART in another place!

Thanks to whoever cares for his grave… 😢miss that great personality and voice.
Oscars mean nothing, they give them to anyone these days. He was a great actor👍
Don't be a stick in the mud.... they mean a lot to many people.
Obviously not to you. But then again.... who are you?
They mean nothing these days but in Burton's time, they meant a lot. He should have been awarded at least one!

ELEGY ON THE DEATH OF RICHARD BURTON
Burton is dead! The words like hammer-blows
Re-echo in the caverns of my mind, still racked with disbelief.
Burton is dead and through the mists of Wales
The gallant knights and princes of the past,
O'er moor and meadowland in bright array
Troop forth in ghostly majesty to bear
A final tribute to their noble son
Who sleeps eternally in foreign soil.
Burton is dead! The graves of poets tremble at the news
And voices of new bards are strangely still
To hear the replication of the chords
Which rose to thrill the English-speaking world.
Burton is dead and 'though the mind must grieve,
His torment now has ended. He has joined
With Burbage, Garrick, Irving and the rest
The quintessential HAMLET of our age.
J. Reilly
August, 1984
That was my poetic tribute to the greatest actor of the 20th century. Hope you enjoyed it.

@@LTJones your welcome I am glad that his place of rest is cared for, I make the trip over there from Pittsburgh, penna just to visit the town and place a rose on his place of rest. I really felt at home over there, sometimes I feel sadness deep down because of his death your video gave me comfort and you have allowed the public to see the quiet, peaceful and beauty of the area, I can fully understand why he he lived there and why he wished to rest there. I have subbed to your channel and am binge watching all your videos, you have a talent for videos. God keep you safe on your travels
Um ator de tão grande prestígio afinal jaze em uma sepultura simples e esquecida. Porém sua bela figura permanece na memória de seus fãs e admiradores . Suas interpretações no cinema não serão esquecidas.
