    Hi Allen,
    Just wanted to let you know coins are left at a grave as a symbol of remembrance and respect however they usually are felt on top of the grave but it still amazing that Beatle fan are still stopping by to show there respect to Stuart.

    I was there this past July and I left original sheet music of Elvis’s Love Me Tender there for him because he loved to sing that song in Hamburg. Was an honor to visit his grave. I’m from Chicago.

    It would be easy to miss the separate graveyard across the road & head straight for the chuch! Not only have I seen the gravestone but you've just brought back memories! I left school in the early eighties & straight on to a Y.O.P. scheme..which was actually based on the church grounds there...& we used to tidy up that cemetery/gravestones with strimmers etc. One thing I remember about the church grounds instead...was a hollowed out human shape in an empty coffin shaped raised stone?
    Anyway!...Tnx for the memories & bringing it all back to me...& making me feel where did life go lol.

    Life isn’t fair. If only, he was taken to a hospital when he got hit from the fight where he fell head down first, and had taken X-ray then, he would not have died this young. He had refused to take the X-ray and had a skull fracture in Jan 1961 according to a report. His friend had a broken finger? Lennon. His parents should have pushed him to see a doctor. I feel bad for his family who lost a young child. RIP - gone too soon.

    Nice video. I like learning about people's lives, shame he died so young. When I was a kid I thought they must like insects to call their band the beetles, took me some years to spot the difference in how it was spelt Hehehe.
    Strange that thing with the pennies

    • @MotorHomeBeepBeep
      @MotorHomeBeepBeep  2 роки тому +2

      Hi Abe I guess you've got to remember that when he died they weren't famous. They were just a jobbing band in Hamburg but he had the seedlings because he was in the music world and getting noticed in the art world. You get the feeling he could have been big time. And great minds think alike. I thought of The Beatles most of my life as the insects completely missing the spelling, but then again I am dyslexic to some degree I think. Thank you for the lovely comments. Glad you enjoyed it. Never personally seen the pennies before .... Best Alan

    As a guide only and try not to be offended; it's a quiet observation only, move the camera up level with your face and a moisture wipe may be useful to remove the saliva prior to filming.
    It's great content and really appreciated ...
    No offense intended.

      @@MotorHomeBeepBeep When you visit cemeteries always keep an eye out, not only for the grave you are looking for but those with floral tributes, not those recently passed but those attended regularly. See if there are any other tokens. I’ve seen all sorts over the years. In my local cemetery lies an ex pub landlady I knew for many years. There’s always a collection of Smirnoff miniatures amongst the flowers. 😊

I did that with Stuart Sutcliffe and never went there to see him.

      hemorrhage was probably the result of a beating to the head he received when they were playing a concert at a venue in Litherland Liverpool, John has stated , they were attacked by a group of Men and Stuart was kicked to the head while he was on the floor!!
