Approx 25 years ago, I was on a show called, INFATUATION, which was to be a rival to Blind Date, hosted by an American tv host called Bob Eubank. On our show Peter Stringfellow was a star / celebrity guest. After the show, Peter gave all the contestants (10 of us) VIP passes to his club in London. On our arrival the following week end, ha gave each couple their own private table, with a bottle of champagne. He was a very down to earth guy, and made us all welcome. It was a lovely gesture! Many thanks Pete. RIP. 🙏🏼
I can attest Peter was a gentleman. I was a serving soldier based in London and he regularly invited us lads down to his club. If you could prove you were a serving soldier and were well behaved you got a table and a load of heavenly money to get a few dances.
He was a Sheffielder that’s why. Most Sheffielders are like that.
@@sinord5288My wife is from Sheffield I can assure you she never gets her hand in her pocket or purse for anything 😂
@@scousemouse69 ha ha yes I can bloody believe that. Neither does mine.
@@scousemouse69 🤣🤣🤣🤣
What a fabulous, beautiful spot.
After decades in the night club scene I don't think anyone can blame Peter for wanting somewhere peaceful and tranquil.
Or mibbi that's his favourite dogging place
What a beautiful place to be buried.
It’s like Terry Wogan, and Caroline Flacks burial places.
Thank you Paul ❤
I dint beleive thanks should be given. Peter requested privacy for his family following his death
Met Peter at his club in London what a great guy who treated everyone with respect and always looked after his customers.
Same,agree with you entirely.
He was a lovely man. So down to earth, well mannered and friendly.
I met Peter in 1986, I was in the Royal Navy and he invited several members of the ship’s company to visit stringfellows in New York. Great host and had a terrific time. 👌
What a beautiful spot. Thanks for taking us along Paul. I'd love to be put somewhere like that. No mess, no fuss, just going back to nature! You would think after the life he led, he might've wanted something different, but RIP Peter. Nice choice.
No. No thanks for being taken to his resting place. Peter requested peace & privacy for his family
What a lovely peaceful place to be buried. Good on Peter for wanting to be there. No big posh headstone or anything. Just stripped right back to nature. Nice & simple. Beautiful place to be buried. Seemed a really nice guy. R.I.P Peter. 💐🌳
I’d never heard of natural burial spots before but it looks like they’re very good for the environment and a peaceful place to visit. Good on Peter for wanting something like that. I was honestly expecting a gold plated headstone or something. May he rest in peace amongst nature.
Take a look at the Caroline Flack video Paul has done. Hers was in a similar place. Very peaceful.
We buried my Dad at Greenacres Epping Forest. This looks very similar. It’s the most beautiful place.
@@gaillaffer7579 That sounds really nice, good choice.
You can have a woodland burial and have a tree planted in the person's memory.
There are some beautiful, natural places that are allowing burials.
I'd never heard of natural burial places either. I decided to watch the video because I expected a grave really extravagant but this is a great choice, lovely place to rest in peace x
I liked Peter. He had a good sense of humour and he loved what he did in life. What more could one want.
A sheffield geezer aswell, thanks for your dedicated work Paul much appreciated mate.
Wow, from such humble beginnings to a multi millionaire business man, thanks Paul, really enjoyed this one. The place is so beautiful.
Pete or “Stringy” as we knew him to be, was a lovely man. I knew him through my friend working for him. The first night I met him he was wearing a long, blue, velvet jacket with his hair wild. It was 1998, and he was a gentleman. At this point, he had a flat upstairs at Stringfellows Covent Garden. I was 18, and he was sweet and kind. He had a much younger girlfriend who he adored, but he wasn’t a letch. He had a guy working for him who used to play “Brian Tisley” in Coronation Street, who was a letch and a pig!!! He was the perv and I don’t know what happened there but hey ho. Rest in eternal peace Stringy. You made us smile
I didn't even know Peter Stringfellow was no longer with us tbh! Out of all the Places of rest that has been visited on this Channel, I think this one has to be the most beautiful.
So nice seeing all the positive comments about him! I never knew his story, so thank you for the info. He really made a life for himself and what a beautiful resting place. Really sounds like just an ordinary man who lived an extraordinary life.
So pleased your mum bought you a coat looks good Peter stringfellow didn’t realise he had gone bet he had an amazing life god bless him thankyou Paul much love xxx
When I lived in the U.S. I had the pleasure of meeting Peter at his opening of his new club in Beverly Hills L.A. I had a few drinks and was talking a bit he listened patiently and was very respectful he was a very nice guy R.I.P. Peter
Stringfellows wasn't always that type of club. For years it was a high class haunt of the rich and famous. I worked at the hippodrome and we were allowed to go to strigngfellows on our nights off. I got the job because I was close mates with one of Peter's nephews and still am. In fact seeing this just reminded me to reply to a text I had off him yesterday! Great memories.
I used to own a card and balloon shop. We got a phone call one day from Peter Stringfellows personal assistant. She said she was calling on behalf of Peter Stringfellow and wished to order balloons for delivery. I said "yes of course he does" just to add, I live in Dorset. I then put the phone down thinking it was a prank. The lady called back, it turns out, Peters wife Bella, had a sister who lived down the road from my shop and Peter wanted to send a huge bouquet of balloons with a card for Bellas Nephew on his birthday. I no longer have my shop but I still live in the area, and I still balloon decorate, and to this day, Peters assistant still phones me to order balloons to be delivered.
Awesome story, thank you 🙏
I worked at Stringfellows as a dancer for many many years . Was a great ( the best) place to work by far and Peter was always a wonderful host and lovely gentleman. I miss those days and will cherish those memories forever. RIP Peter 😔🙏
He was certainly a very charismatic character, a good choice to show our respects to Peter
I met him very briefly right there at the burial ground a year or so before he died . He attended a funeral that I’d attended .
Wow! Looks lovely there 👌
.. R.i.p Peter stringfellows 🥰 what a guy 🙏
😉
It’s looks really nice doesn’t it. Are you a new subscriber? Xx
I worked at The M8llionnaire club in Manchester in the 70s whilst a student. He seemed a really nice guy love your channel BTW. Discovered it by chance after visiting a freinds grave at southern cemetery in manchester and being shown nearby graves of sir matt Busby and Anthony h Wilson (mr manchester and broadcaster and founder member of factory records..,very famous in the north west) looking forward to seeing this new video so much x
Thanks 🙏
It was a good back story that, it felt quite haunting when you reached the spot where Peter is buried, I was expecting a grave full of flowers because of how flamboyant Peter was.
Great video Paul lovely tranquil spot who’d have thought Peter would have been in touch with nature. Just goes to show never judge a book by it cover.
RIP Peter rest easy.
Can't wait for this one, I use to work for him, at the millionaire club. Which was in Manchester as a DJ.
Amazing that such a very wealthy guy like Peter chose such a place to be buried. It demonstrates what a really down to earth guy, excuse the pun, he really was, not wanting the glitz and glamorization of a posh graveyard and gravestone.
Another good one,loved to see Peter in shackles with an audience with Freddie Starr and he tried cutting his hair,well done Paul x
Hi Paul I used to live also at Pitsmoor Sheffield in 1981..what a busy man Peter was..Rip Peter..thanks as always Paul x
I use to go to Catherine pub in Pitsmoor
I met Peter and he really was a lovely person. What a beautiful place to end up... quite magical.
He was a polarizing character. He took his chances in life and enjoyed the fruits of his labour. This World needs some colourful characters to stop us all turning beige.
I've been a DJ for 34 years, working in the nightclub industry is a real joy, creating memorable events and just being the one that makes special memories for other people as I create memories for doing it. I made some tapes of some of my nights working the clubs in the 90's and can be there again in an instant with those tapes, it was hectic and I understand why he wanted that peaceful area to be laid to rest, it's exhausting making so much happiness for others which is exactly what he did.
RIP Peter and thanks for the fun.
Thanks Paul, what a lovely setting to have for a final resting place. Myself and my wife visited Stingfellows in London while still buzzing after having managed to get a table in the Ivy, where we were both in awe of who we saw there, so it was a bit of an evening of celebrity hangouts for us. Absolutely great.
Hi Paul,
Thank you.
Amazing life, born from humble beginnings often the case.
Not surprised he died from lung cancer, clubs in those days you could smoke, so workers of these clubs breathed it all night, every night.
Certainly left no petrol in the tank, die at 90mph with his hair on fire.
Great Posts
I did in fact go to Stringfellows in London.
We had a special invite to his 50th birthday party. Free pink Champagne ( and other drinks) all night. He was very friendly and made effort to make sure everyone had a good time. It was the only time I meet Peter and was very impressed with the party.
Mostly it was couples, so no goings on that night lol. Great video as always 👍 keep them coming.
I like the respectful tone during your informative wanderings. Thanks for all the cool content. You're mum has good taste btw. The idea of no headstone and being buried in beautiful surroundings is perfect.
I remember him very well😊 Used to hang around those clubs in London all the time and actually met him once. He really was quite a character! 😁 Good times🎉❤️🎉
RIP Mr Stringfellow 🙏
Awww he was such a huge character and so likeable. I never remember him as grumpy, just his infectious laugh. ❤
Love the humility and modesty of the place and those that chose to go there
I went to Stringfellows in Leicester Square London during the late 1980's.
The atmosphere was buzzing and there were beautiful women everywhere I looked. I was in my late 20's.
I went to the Millionaire Club in Manchester in the 70s, it was amazing. If you could afford a meal you were treated like a VIP.
I will never forget the memories of the visit. It was brilliant.
Ps, was a good person. God bless him. ❤️❤️❤️🇫🇷
Another fantastic video Paul thank you for all the work you put in to bringing us these videos. And what a lovely place
I was on a city break in London with my husband, can't quite remember the year but Peter walked past us on the street and gave me a big smile and a wink 😉
Beautiful. What a life, but very simple grave. Rest in peace. ❤️
I remember seeing Peter on celebrity come dine with me...cor. he lived a extroudary life didn't he? Quite literally worked his way up with shear grit and determination . What a beautiful place to be buried. A green burial site. Thankyou again Paul for all you do.
Thank you Paul. Always appreciate your vids buddy. Enjoy the rest of your Sunday evening 😎 😁 x
Can you cover Richard Wright of Pink Floyd and Syd Barratt soon? This was well up to standard. Well done.
Well I'm pleased to see from the comments that he was well liked. We were distantly related which I found through researching my family tree. He wouldn't have known of us. He died a month after Dad. I can only assume he wasn't flavour of the month with my great aunt!
Yes it sounds like he was a lovely man… 🙏
He wasn’t a very nice person, had extreme right wing views.
@@david-pb4biso you never met him. But your going to judge him on his views that differ from yours?
@@DjMossy Why are you talking nonsense? He was on the television most weeks pushing his extreme right wing views, if you can’t dislike somebody for their views what can you dislike them for?
That was a really interesting run down on Peter Stringfellows life and time with a superb walk thrown in, I would love to know what that backing music was it was a perfect balance with the narration. Thank you for sharing your work with us, very entertaining 👏👏👍✌️
That was fantastic mate ,,,,, Jamie Romsey 👍🏴
That is the perfect place to be buried. So natural. I would love to be buried somewhere like that.
Knew him as a friend through my restaurant business and likewise visiting him at his wonderful club ❤️
RIP PS💐
Peter Stringfellow, what a fascinating character with a genuine, classic rags to riches back story. Makes you reflect on how a simple twist of fate can change your whole life direction; if he hadn’t been caught flogging those stolen carpets everything else would almost certainly never have happened, although I suspect there was something inside him that would have found another route to success. I watched an interview where he said he lost faith in God when his mother died of lung cancer. It’s a cruel irony that he lost his own life the same way, but I believe God understands us better than we do ourselves (disagree if you want but please don’t shoot) and I hope he has now found peace, reunited with his mum and other loved ones. 🙏
I went to both Stringfellows and the Hippodrome in London several times and met Peter Stringfellow, on one occasion Kikki Dee was there and Princesses Diana's brother Earl Spencer was dancing the night away. It was a very elegant club but didn't have the same vibe as the Hippodrome, Heaven and Bolts this is where you partied, takes a look back at Eighties London. High Camp and New Romantics evolved from popular music culture..
Nice one Paul..another interesting video and what a peaceful place of eternal rest…
He was a showman that's for sure, very interesting video Paul.
What a beautiful quiet place to be, thanks for showing an alternative to the traditional cemetary.
Hi paul another cracking vid. Peter is from my home town Sheffield. Met him once at the children's hospital in Sheffield shook hands he was a nice fella. R.I.P. Peter.x.
Hi thanks for a very interesting video 20 years ago my then girlfriend and now still friend Zara worked as a dancer at his club in london she had nothing but good words for peter a lovely man and total gentleman r.i.p
I used to go to string fellows frequently on a Saturday back in the 90's in covent garden I met him too!!! 😁 I was always allowed in free
My friend was buried in a natural burial site in a Whicker casket …. It was beautiful and serene. They’re beautiful sites to walk around and relax and reflect. X
Paul you get a beautiful trips in such calm and amazing places telling us about people and their stories
What a great video Paul and lovely place to be buried 🌳.
It really is!
Oh no,I didn't realise he passed R.I.P.
Can't wait to see.
Thanks.
Hi yea Paul, I didn’t realize that Peter stringfellow had passed away , fab location .
Paul, I would love to accompany you one day, on your travels... I enjoy watching your travels... always interesting, first hand to see you at your best... welldone...dakota, Basingstoke...
What a beautiful peaceful place to be intered just the bird song for company thankyou paul for another interesting video
This is where my mum and brother are. I love the place so much that I have my own spot booked in. The staff are so kind and helpful. You have to go back early summer Paul just for a walk about its so beautiful and as you say peaceful.
Totally agree! Gorgeous place
Excellent video but for me his best period was missed out. After the Black Cat closed he went on to open the Mojo where loads of great bands played at the start of there fame, even Hendrix. After that he opened Down Broadway and then the Penthouse before moving up to Leeds and opening 2 clubs Cinderella's and Rockefellers , his first venture into the glamour world. During the time of Broadway and Penthouse I got to know Pete quite well as he managed the local band I was with at the time, his brother Paul even roadied for us for a while. What is not recognized enough is the massive influence and impact he had on local music scene and beyond. What I can say is he was nothing like his public persona during his London days, he was a really nice man who helped out many people.
THANKS
Wow I forgot all about him he seemed to have been everywhere years ago Thanks for the memories
Watched a few episodes of your now. Fantastic work, it hits home a bit after seeing all these famous graves & places, it doesn’t matter who you are, you come in to this world with nothing & leave with nothing. Everything is only lent to us.
My dad and I met Peter out in Mallorca (where he had a villa) and we became good friends with him, often going out in his boat or having breakfast at Flintstones Café in Portals Nous. He was so kind, funny and down to earth and I'll be forever grateful to him for giving me a Stringfellows Membership Card for my birthday. RIP true gentleman.
Good video Paul.. my farther was head chef in the London one in the 80s. He is gone also now. But am good as I have 6 year old identical twin boys. That keep my going.
"Paul, i'm pleasantly surprised, that Peter had such a lovely natural woodland buriel!?. I thought that with his extravagant personality, he'd be buried in a mausoleum the size of the Taj Mahal!!!??....what a character was our Pete!!".🎵👍 🎶
I have just subscribed to your channel and i enjoyed seeing where Peter Stringfellow is buried. A quiet, natural environment, after a very busy life!
Thanks for the sub!
Oh Paul das war ja ein wunderbarer Spaziergang durch den Friedwald.
Schön angelegt und erst im Sommer!!! Möge er in Frieden ruhen 🙏💝
Thank you Paul 👋👋
My partner & I visited today. He is in the Cremated section, a lot of the plots in that section didn't have wooded marker plaques.
That is a 'Bugs house' on the tree, not a birds house. There were recently laid Daffodils in his square marker.
Thanks for another interesting video.
Hi Paul great video as always 👍 I always remember doing a delivery up in Mansfield and heading home south on the m1 when a black porsche gt3 pulled alongside I glanced over and saw him having a rest whilst a leggy blonde was driving I also remember the reg no stg 44 a while later I was watching top gear and he was on it he had been filming in sheffield.
What a beautiful location, so peaceful.
Wow did not know he’d died RIP ❤
What a lovely place that is. I’ve heard of him from podcasts of people talking about his club in New York. May he rip in a wonderful forest 🌳
Fantastic video Paul as always. Your channel is totally awesome
Glad you enjoy it!
Sat with Peter and the very lovely Bella for coffee in Puerto Portals a few years ago, he was surprisingly modest and charming - rest in peace.
I never knew there was such a thing as natural burial but now I know thanks…Peter Stringfellow was certainly a very flamboyant character!!!
I used to go to Peter Stringfellows Nightclub in Charring Cross Road , London. He was a friend of the man I was then going out with. Back in those days it was full of the rich and famous. One night I found myself shoulder to shoulder with George Michael. Peter was very down to earth and very grounded. I really liked him. My last memory of Peter is us all going for a meal in China Town when the Nightclub closed. A very long time ago now but.....some very happy memories. His being buried here doesn't surprise me in the slightest.
Hello, i am from portsmouth too. I grew up near North end, near Alexandra park. I now live on the outskirts of Portsmouth.
🙌🙌
Beautiful and peaceful ♥️I was born in Pompey and still live there.🙂👍
Hey Paul delighted to see your video pop up..Happy New year! Beautiful place to be buried. Great video thanks a mill x
Peter's son is the safety car driver in the British touring car championship. He's a great driver.
Enjoyed the walk today. However I prefer an actual cemetery rather than these natural burials in woods or forests as I feel that it seems a little sad and lonely but each to his own Paul - looking forward to your next walk. Thank you
Lovely peaceful place. Quite a shock that that is where his final resting place is. In stark contrast to his flamboyant lifestyle. ❤ thank you Paul ❤ xx
It suprised me too Hazel to be fair, I couldn't help thinking the closer to the tree, the harder the dig, roots & stuff... Nightmare if burial.. lol... These eco burial's ain't got everyone, & yes with his lifestyle I expected something glamorous too.. not even a plaque eh.? Still.. that's what he wanted 👍
Yes, I was shocked that he was there to be honest, and thank you as always, Hazel 🙏
I spoke to Peter Stringfellow on many occasions when I worked for a mobile phone company.
As a VIP Customer Service rep, I received calls from such people as Bruce Grobbellar, Nancy Reagan, Liam and Noel Gallagher and many more.
Sad to say that Peter came across as very arrogant and condescending when speaking to us mere mortals, so much so that we avoided him at times.
Loved your video once again Paul, all the best
Peter was well into all kinds of cheap dog meat.
Well, I have to tell you back in the 1980s, Peter Stringfellow and Karen was very kind to us, even gave us models free entry to Stringfellows and hippodrome, and as you entered Stringfellows, where the bar area was on the right hand side, he would put pictures up of us and all the celebrities which was nice, just a lovely man and sadly missed,
Thanks for sharing he was big night clubs all over the word remember him come dine lovery man
Rip Peter beautiful guy hugs and love ❤️❤️
Great video again. Such a nice place too. Far removed from the razzmatazz of his nightclub empire.
Omg this one shud be quite an interesting one cnt wait paul 👍👍👍
Funny enough I went to stringfellos club in London and got to meet Peter and shook his hand nice man very approachable and was in conversation at the time introduced him to a girl I was dating….the things you do when your young ……
