    I was born in 1961 Marc Bolan and T-Rex were the first band I ever followed. Marc introduced me to music. I saved my pocket money to buy 'Ride a White Swan' and also a T-Rex t-shirt.

    Died 1 month after elvis presley. When Elvis died, Marc Bolan said "I certainly hope I don't pop off in the next few weeks as I'll only get page 3 coverage." He died a month later in a road accident. 😮

    I was born in 1961, T-Rex was the first band to introduce me to a love of music. Marc was a true trail blazer, I still love his music to this day. Thank you T-Rex.

    Thanks Paul, it is sad that such a rare young talent shoul be wiped out so quickly. Marc had the most amazing voice and was truly innovative musically. His music was just as exciting and new in the same way as David Bowies was. Completely mesmerising on tv, he had an unforgettable smile. So sad that he was taken so young. How much music has been lost because Marc was not here to create and perform it? Hopefully still rocking in Heaven! 💔

    I'm gutted I missed this! What a legend, taken far too young and WOW, that's a beautiful bench! Brought a tear to my eye, especially when you read out that his parents are reunited with him! God bless them all!
    Lovely advice at the end Paul, thank you! One of my favourite quotes to live by is from Bruce Lee, the famous water quote. For anyone who doesn't know the quote:
    "Empty your mind. Be formless, shapeless, like water. Now, you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup, you put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle, you put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water my friend."
    If we try to adapt to our surroundings and circumstances like water adapts to anything it's poured into, and make the best out of bad situations, with perseverance we can make the impossible possible. As Audrey Hepburn once said "Nothing is impossible, the word itself says "I'm possible!".

    I was always a fan of Marc's . When I heard of his passing , it was like time had stood still . ( He wasn't very far from home when the crash happened ) Had he survived , I wonder what other musical treats he would have given us ? I think the best tribute , is to keep listening to his music . Nicely said and presented , Paul . RIP , Marc .

    And you've done it again and stirred some lovely memories of Marc Bolan never to be forgotten.
    We lived for a while in Stoke Newington in the 70s and Marc Bolan's boyhood home was just across Stoke Newington Green from us - occupied by our friends' daughter. Our little ones played together and it was a privilege to be there. Of course he was still alive then and she used to get girls hanging about outside thinking he still lived there. Funny but a nuisance sometimes!

    In my opinion Bolan and T Rex were unique. Even to this day, I can't think of any other big artists who sound similar or produce similar material. That is also the first time I've seen the footage of the wrecked car and of his funeral.
    Sadly car accidents in those days were usually horrific. No safety features whatsoever - no crumple zones or airbags, no ABS, solid window glass (not like more modern shatterables), and despite seatbelts being fitted to new cars by law since 1965 they weren't compulsory to actually wear until 31st January 1983.
    But it's so nice to see people who actually care, taking great love and pride in preserving the various memorials to him. A unique talent who died literally two weeks shy of his 30th birthday and who seemed to have a glittering future ahead of him. Being best friends with the legendary Bowie, it would have been fascinating to compare their respective careers as time passed. Maybe they would have done a lot of work together.

    The memorial bench is a work of art. It's tragic that he died so young in a road accident. People die from serious illnesses when they're young but despite the sadness there's a small element of expectation, knowing it will happen. When Marc Bolan and his girlfriend got in the car that day they had no idea it would be their final journey. Golders Green Crematorium looks like a pleasant place to spend a few hours. It was reassuring to see that his resting place is cherished.

    • @halfbakedproductions7887

      My dad actually had a similar crash in a slightly older Mini, round about the same time. My grandmother said she thought that was it for him and always said she never understood how he walked away from it.
      Car accidents in those days were often utterly horrific, partly because driving standards were lower and cars were frankly total crap.

My Aunt explaining that she had walked past the scene of the tragic accident, on her way to Barns Station, later that morning. Very sad.

    I visited the tree in 1985, when I was a young fan, and I was amazed by how small and skinny the tree was!
    I was baffled at how such a tiny tree would have been enough to stop the car. But apparently, after watching another clip on UA-cam about the shrine, the car would have hit the metal barrier first, then the tree, which made more sense.
    Still, it was very tragic all the same!
