- Mr and Mrs H travel to Merseyside to search for the grave of former TV star and comedy legend Freddie Starr who sadly passed away at his villa in Spain on the 9th of May 2019 aged 76 years and was a familiar face on UK television screens throughout the late 1970's and 1980's with his wacky fast paced brand of humour.
Michael Fogg did a fantastic job with what he did for Freddie Starr he’s an Angel to lots of people bless him. R.I.P. FREDDIE AND THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR BRILLIANT ENTERTAINMENT XX ❤️❤️
He should have his name on the headstone ....he was a star, RIP Freddie.
Rest in peace Freddie.
From me and all our team at Michael Fogg Family Funeral Directors Sheffield
Thanks very much for bringing a truly hilarious man back to UK shores , very well done Mr Fogg ,it's such a shame the majority of ppl these days aren't as kind and considerate as yourself sir 👍
@MCF155 Thank you Sir for what you did for Freddie. You have my greatest respect. I worked in the Theatre for some years and met Freddie on several occasions. He was a bit of a madcap character as his behaviour showed when he entered the Theatre on one occasion and became bored, so he played up and it was very comical. However, I got the strongest feeling that beneath his very outlandish behaviour sometimes and his outwardly going character, was a man who was shy and insecure. Thank you again Sir. 👏⭐🌹
He did deserved a lot more. Bless Freddie 😢 thanks for posting this one
Just found out on you tube that Freddie has died
I must admit it has upset me tremendously I really enjoyed his shows
RIP you will be missed
Respect to you and shame on Freddie's so called celebrity mates
I remember them saying on the telly news that freddie was going to be buried with his mother in Prescott.
Freddie came into my shop once and bought a porcelain elephant stool, I read a few years later in a magazine article that he liked to collect anything to do with elephants and in a photo of his house you could see the elephant stool that he bought from me in the background.
Hi Mick, interesting story and you learn something new every day as they say as I've never read/seen anywhere that he had an interest in elephants.
Regarding Freddie being buried at Prescot it was his funeral service that took place there at Prescot Parish Church not his burial which was afterwards and a private affair with only family and close friends invited to attend.
But you are in good company in also thinking that he'd been buried there as we spent just over an hour searching in vain the cemetery next to the church.
FREDDIE STARR WAS BRILLIANT AND HE DESERVES PEACE AND QUIET WELL DONE YOURSELF FOR WHAT YOU DO :)
I’ve watched interviews with celebs that loved him and supported him when all these charges came up… I find it beyond comprehension that none of these famous mates cannot club together for a headstone?? Absolutely disgusting
A great man brought down in his prime,thanks for the video Mr & Mrs H.
There will never be another Freddie star they broke the mould with him pure star I will miss him and so will many others r.i.p Freddie ❤🎉😊
Love your channel. Well done Mrs H you’ve worked really hard.
Thank you to both of you 💖💖💖
Hi Rachel, and apologies for the late reply.
Nice to hear that you enjoy my videos and many thanks for the kind words as it was nice to return to the old days for a few hours and have just Mrs H join me on this one.
Enjoy the rest of your evening/day and all the best. 👍
I’ve said this on other videos but I have to say
That when he came through at the airport he was a gentleman
Courteous and gracious.
A lovely man.
So sad, let him rest in peace
Freddie really will always be a proper comedian I remember seeing him at Dudley town hall as ever he was brilliant rest in peace dear Freddie 🎶😀👍
Adored Freddie as a kid and his funeral was at the church I had my communion in too , won't say where but I lived there in 2 houses over time too , Freddie , Russ Abbott,Kenny Everett, all kept me in stitches when I was a teenager, I've just watched a clip of him now and it's set me up for today already I was in stitches , Russ Abbott is still touring too I hear , stay safe everyone. 👍
Great video Mr H of a comedy legend,as usual always done with respect.Respect to you and your family.
Someone has placed a large silver star there now to signify Freddie
A big fan of your videos they're very natural and spot-interest-wise. I will be hunting down the location in the future. I wouldn't have said from my observations he was a nice person. I've heard one personal account and knowledge of him with a woman and her husband from Liverpool are customers of mine! But he was an excellent comedian, one of my absolute favourites.
So pleased that all your hard work has been rewarded with your discovery of the resting place of a truly great star there will never be another Freddie the Great Star, thank you RIP.
Thanks 👍 Mr and Mrs H
Just that clip on The Des O'connor show had me pissing meself. An absolute legend. There will never be another, society won't allow it.
Forgot he was gone. Thanks for the vid subscribed from a recommend
Dear hot pots, what can I say. Thank you for this video so much. I also have worked out which cemetery it is, and I plan to visit him, I just hope I can find him.
Used to converse with Freddie on twitter, great guy
A great loss a great man l see him live and my sides were aching with laughing a very funny man 😂 but we can’t forget him
With the power of the bread crumbs I have found it. I am just going to say "Bingo" and will be up there to pay my respects to this legend. Thank you for your video sir. The secret is safe with me.
I visit graveyards often and find them really peaceful. I found the little boy who was murdered in the 50’s in Wigan. I never gave up and although it took a long time to find it was worth it to pay my respects
Hi Alexander The Great, yes cemeteries are rather peaceful places and can be a quite pleasant to visit on a warm sunny day, or at least the well maintained ones are as you can always find some interesting epitaph to read or admire the craftmanship of the Stonemason who carved the headstone.
Just out of interest was the little boy you are referring to above William Harmer or Norman Yates?
@@MrHsHotPot Norman Yates (Westwood cemetery)
@@alexanderthegreat9663 If you are interested William Harmer the other victim of Norman Green is buried in Hindley Cemetery on Castle Hill, the grave section and number can be found on the Wigan World website in the cemeteries index for Hindley Cemetery.
@@MrHsHotPot thanks I’ll look for him, much appreciated. Enjoying your channel keep up the good work. 👍
Hi Aleander The Great, bit of an update for you it would seem that I have given you a bit of duff information regarding the location of William Harmers grave.
After double checking my info as I intend to do a video on these forgotten Wigan murders at some point in the future I've realised that he's not buried at Hindley Cemetery as I had previously stated and that his grave is instead at Gidlow Cemetery in the Church of England section 14, grave number 848.
Sorry if you've trailed out to Hindley Cemetery looking for his grave based on my info, apologies and all the best. 👍
Freddie was loved by lots including me Your a real Starr
loved these two
Would love to see des o connors grave, loved him and freddy together, used to be in stitches watching them
Me to it looks unknow at first glance
My late mum was a massive Des fan in fact for her 70th birthday my wife had to join his fan club to get his signed autobiography. She was really chuffed to receive it. We put it in her coffin just before her funeral. To this day I can't listen to Des from Stepney without a tear.
Mind you His singing made lots of people cry!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@fus149hammer5 haha aww theirs one thing he could laugh at himself, and when he did laugh he had me in stitches
@@fus149hammer5 but thats a lovely story, thankyou
A Tophophile is someone who likes graveyards. I myself take a wander around our local cemetery, very peaceful.
I didn't even realise that he was dead. Crazy how people can go from being idolised by mainstream media to being shunned in such a small amount of time.
yeah he vanished from the public eye after court case, then popped up in the news papers about his ill health, then not long after he had passed away sadly.
Freddie was a Star and still is in my view , it was a shame that the press hounded him for so called sex press , i started work at 16 in leeds on the doors as a bouncer we had girls throw themselves at us every night of the week when did gigs like for freddie and other celebs like djs , pop stars and the like girls went mad for them we had to fend them off , so then the press comes out with all the false crap and ruins peoples reputations , thats why you get the likes of the sun , star , mirror called the gutter press
Found his grave in less than 60 seconds.
Love this. I know where he is resting. I went to his Funeral in Prescot at my local church. I took a few photos 📸.
I shock Derek Accora hand after the funeral. I seen his coffin ⚰️ Return to Sender. Freddie was from my home town of Huyton back in the day.
Hi The Crusader 1000, thanks for not divulging Freddie's final resting place per the wishes of his family here. 👍
Sadly Derek Acorah who was a great entertainer even if you are a non believer is also no longer with us after passing away less than a year after Freddie.
His is also another grave that I'd like to visit but sadly information on it's location is thin on the ground.
Anyway glad that you enjoyed the video and thanks for commenting.
Well done to you sir , I was offered an apartment right where the funeral cars park but I was working nights at the time , between 2 churches with bells ringing, not a gd idea , I spent 77 to 98 in Prescot and whiston , Freddy didn't have to say a word to make me laugh , such a mischievous face he had , made everyone smile , now you can't have real comedy in case your accused of upsetting someone
Soo sad ... its like we the British people let him down big time
If his family doesn't want this location making public, they might want to edit his Wikipedia page as it is stated on there.
I like Freddie star he was a very entertaining guy. Well done to Mrs H for her detective work if it wasn’t for her we wouldn’t be watching this interesting video Mr H 😂
Freddie star was a star he deserves a head stone so his loyal fans can pay there respect we loved him there will never be another man so talanted we love and miss you rest in peace
Well done you two. I think the name could be Cemetarians. 😁
Hi Gwyn T, the praise for finding Freddie Starr's grave rightfully goes to Mrs H as I was about to give up after spending three hours in vain visiting and searching three other cemeteries before this one and a pparantly the name for someone who enjoys visting cemeteries is a 'Taphophile'.
There's a few secret graves of well known personalities in the UK, Freddie's is one (I know the cemetery, but won't disclose) and I know that Sir Terry Wogans is another (you can find a video on it, (but not the location, they were given the info on good faith they'd not tell anyone where it is) on another channel).
It's interesting to see the headstones or markers of well known personalities, I can't put my finger on it.
Hi James, and thanks for not divulging Freddie's final resting place per the wishes of his family here. 👍
I have seen the video of Sir Terry Wogan's final resting place on the channel that you mention which was very tastefully done.
Without speculating on the location too much it would appear that he was laid to rest at a woodland or natural burial site given the style of the memorial as opposed to a a traditional cemetery.
I agree that it is interesting to see the headstones or markers of well known personalities especially those that were part of your childhood when growing up.
Many thanks for commenting and all the best.
Unfortunately, Find a Grave has now been updated, it now gives the cemetery, section and the grave ID number
NICE 1 THE H's 👈😎👉
Never found him funny, but he had a sad.demise, like many, fallen stars its a long way down, after topping the bill. Keep up the good work mr & mrs H
Freddie star most famous for saying " shut that door "
I lived in the same village as Freddie star in Waltham st Lawrence fantastic guy loved him so funny hit my dad's car in Twyford thy just laughed aho fantastic
a big fan of him.
Poor Freddie Starr,he didn't deserve what happened to him he,yes in his final years he went out to see Spain like so many other British expats just to relax soaked up what sun he could get,shame on the woman who broke Freddie Starr down it really was sad to see pictures of him in last 2-3 years of his life,he wasn't the same Freddie Starr it really did break him and it sped up his death in 2019 he was found dead by his house clearer in Spain 😔😔😔. PS Iam not side with anyone on this case because it is damaging both sides and I fined it very hard to believe that Freddie Starr was a child molester and some women think they can just felece celebrities for all the money they have ruin lives.
Nice
Freddie starr hasn't got a marker for his headstone he worked with des o connor speaking of des o connor can you visit his grave
so sad, for great guy, so sad to see, this great person. end up this
way,so sad you should have fund. to give some more respect#
thanks inspector C
Seen Freddie live in Southport, I wasn't impressed.
Tragic ending though RIP Freddie.
Hi Alan just out of interest what year did you see him live in Southport?
Yes it was certainly a tragic ending and one no one would have believed back when Freddie was riding high in the TV ratings. In the end he deserved better than to have to rely on the generosity of strangers to bury him but fair play to Michael Fogg Funeral Directors of Sheffield for stepping in and giving him a decent send off.
Freddie starr was treated horribly after this accusation and lost everything left a pauper absolutely disgusting how he was treated hopefully you are at rest Freddie one of my heroes of comedy 🙏 😢😢
R.i.p Freddie XOXO
A Taphophile is who you may be refering to.
Loved him. But why is it a secret location? PS: not secret anymore? Shouldn’t you respect the family’s wishes but my not advertising it on UA-cam?
rest in peace freddie
Turns out we found out after he was dead that he was a really nasty man who made his wife's life a misery mentally and physically. why does nobody say this instead of singing his praises.
In 'The Bad Boys of Comedy' documenary on Freddie Starr he admits himself that he was a shit to his wife and kids and that eventually he paid the price for it by being cut off by them.
Also in the same documentary his peers in the entertainment industry were brutally honest about how he could be difficult to work with and had squandered many chances especially in television.
So no we didn't need to wait until his death to find any of this out as the man himself admitted that he was flawed and wasn't perfect.
Knew his son from his first marriage carl.
What a shame.
sid!!!
I'm related to him :)
That is not Freddy stars grave look at the dates on the stone he died 2019 in may
Hi William, as explained in the video Freddie isn't listed on the headstone but this is his final resting place as acknowledged further down in the comments by Michael Fogg the funeral director who both paid for and dealt with his funeral.
Taphophile is the word you wanted!
Another decent fellow, destroyed by a money grubbing woman, and media harassment.
Nice. Fogg's Funeral Directors is near us. The missus and I don't "believe," so we're gonna opt for the el cheapo dispatch. It is rumoured tho that the mother in law's ghost walks the cemetery, nagging the bloke's in their graves to, "get up, yer lazy buggers and cut that lawn, tidy that path. Looks like Steptoe's yard".
Comedy was made politically correct and the madness has snowballed to gigantic proportions. Spike Milligan was amongst the first casualties of this mind virus. On his grave, "Dúirt mé leat go raibh mé tinn" (Oy tink!) Trans: "I told you I was ill."
some place i read he was creamated
I love Freddie Starr he was a comedy legend old fashioned comedy ps I’m trans people are amazed that I like him
Taphophile.
Shame as he was so funny. Ruined for nothing.
Anyway des O'Connor was a lot of fun as well.
David Bowie, any chance?
Sure Andy, if you are willing to organise a crowdfunder to pay for a trip to Indonesia.
@@MrHsHotPot Plus his ashes were scattered in the ocean. I think this was a request made by David as he didn't want his resting place to become a tourist attraction.
.Its sad Freddie has no headstone, its not good enough is it. You would expect his wonderful showbiz friends and the Jewish community to do a lot better for one of their own?
Richard |Fowell was freddies Elder Brother.
Pointless video not revealing location !
Depends on how you view it The Equalizer !! whilst this video dosen't reveal the location of Freddie's grave it does at least give his fans a chance to see his grave and pay their respects to him virtually which is better than nothing.
His family have expressed their wish not to have the location of Freddie's grave made public and it is out of respect to both them and Freddie that I have not done so.
However if you would like to visit Freddie's grave then as I said towards the end of the video you can easily follow the breadcrumbs of information online and join the dots to find the location yourself as Mrs H did which took her less than five minutes.
Thanks for commenting and all the best. 👍
It's called respect pal !
And it took me 10 minutes last night to find the location. The power of the internet eh 🫣
Not funny at all actually offensive
That your opinion.... millions disagree. His antics were loved by many. Only offensive to the clueless..........
You’re to sensitive sweaty.
@@kenndo9906 ...... he was funny some people make things up , to cause trouble, , good in wife swap
Snowflakes are so fragile / feeble.
Taphophile.
