George was blessed with (being financially equivalent to billionaire today) when he bought this home in the 1960s. I think most people with that type of money (who didn’t inherited) (i.e. not spoiled Nepo baby) would have the foresight and intelligence, knowledge, (& Mega Money & many servants) to restore a place like this.

Lol.

Still is it here where someone broke in attacked him and there was also a security guard?

I’m an American and I had that thought. It’s taken care of, beautifully❤

@@60sbaby456Yep

Thanks for posting that, very interesting.

I’m going to try and do Tittenhurst Park soon

@@UKDroneFootage-db5dkbe very careful. It’s owned by the president of the UAE.

Strange how?

@@26rickg His words. Don’t know exactly

I think so to and close to the Thames. I used to have a cheeky drink at the local pub with his brother

I would love it too.

He was attacked and stabbed there by an intruder. He was saved by his wife as he screamed…she dropped a huge flower pot on the intruder’s head. This house was not exactly his idea of a peaceful home.

😂

❤

“Our” beloved George? In the face of his expressed hatred of materialism, this estate is a glaring example of George’s many hypocrisies!

Is Olivia and Dhani’s property nowadays innit?

@@christopherp.hitchens3902 they meant the whole world as a collective

@@60sbaby456 - The whole world, including himself. Is this not hypocrisy? George also built a huge, exotic mansion in Hawaii and was then sued by his neighbors because he sealed off the beach for himself. He owned a large collection of old racing cars…and “Handmade” Movie Studios. He was also the only Beatle to be successfully sued for plagiarism, having stolen The Chiffon’s hit single “He’s So Fine” to make his “My Sweet Lord”. He lost this case and had to pay millions in damages.

The coolest of them all...

It’s quite difficult to find a place to take off from that’s close by and maintains a signal. Good call, I’ll go back at some point and try and get closer. Thanks

It’s a massive estate, how did he know them ?

His name is Jim Keltner. He's Ringo Starr's "favorite drummer", Jimmy has literally played with everyone!! you should go & Google him!! Jimmy was also one of 2 drummers that played "Concert for Bangladesh". He also played with the Traveling Wilburys too! so so proud of him!

@@shannonmurphy3008just looked him up, he certainly has worked with a lot of people. He must have loved living here.

Jim must have some great stories but the old rockers never open up lol. My first reaction seeing this video was how anyone would get in their daily exercise just walking around the place. @@shannonmurphy3008

Oh, Jim was/is close friend of George and his family. Top man (and drummer) all the way through to the Travelling Wilbury's and Concert for George in 2002.

That’s a great story, good for you for not harassing him. Thanks for watching

Hi, I’d love to return to film more, however, it’s very difficult to take off and get a good signal close by. I will be returning at some point to try and find a good place to take off from. Thanks for the feedback, watch this space.

He died with a cigarette in his mouth...Patti Boyd's aristocratic friends knew the owners who wanted to get out from under the maintenance costs, I'm told by a realtor who knew the property

all the money and he could not stop smoking@@johnryman1366

Thanks a lot!

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching

I did thanks :)!!!

John lived in one of the costliest apartments in NY, Paul had a farm in Scotland but a very nice home in London. George lived way above his means. It costs a staggering fortune to keep a place like this up. He didn't have the kind of money John and Paul had with their song writing credits. He seems a bit like one of these lottery winners who blows all their money on extravagance and ends up broke again.

@@paulascott5701 And yet, George left his wife and son over $100 million when he passed away in 2001. That is probably $200 million in todays money. George Harrison was super rich when he passed away. George got Friar Park very cheap when he bought the property in the early 1970`s. It was much more than he payed, so it was an fantastic real estate investment for George. I`m sure the value of Friar Park today is way above $150 million. I think George only payed $200 000 when he bought the estate in 1970. George Harrison`s estate also receives millions in royalties from the Beatles each year. That was also the case when George was alive. The Beatles sold more than 1 million records each year after the split, and that secured each of the Beatles a lot of revenue. George had a very successful solo career too. He sold 50 million records as a solo artist. Money was not an issue for George Harrison.

@@paulascott5701 George was wealthy when he died. He was by no means broke.

@@paulascott5701aunque no lo creas, recibían prácticamente las mismas regalías

@@alonso3842 I don't speak Spanish.

I love many of the songs he did after the Beatles as well.

When Pattie found it, it was just the two of them. I can see exactly how an intruder could go undetected on that surrounding land and find his way in through an unsecured window.

Yes, too expensive for a backup musician. However, it employs many in up keeping the grounds, maid duties. A beautiful place, but who can afford it?

Without the arrival of the Harrisons in 1970 this wonderful building might have been demolished and the land converted into a bland housing estate. George bought it partly because he'd got thrown out of a park by some jobsworth in Surrey. He told the bloke: " sod you then I'll go and buy my own Park."

Everything about Friar Park is “over the top “ - it’s the whole point of the place ( as per Sir Frank’s ideas for it )

@@thomaspick4123 "Backup musician"? It seems like there's a bit of confusion. I think you may be referring to a different George when you mention backup musician.

It would be quite a coup if NT did get hold of it. It's the sort of place that they would run. A wee bit better than 20 Forthlin road or 251 Menlove avenue I would say! (Also NT properties)

@@GBURGE55 Yes,it certainly _would_ be a coup; I'd love to visit it.🙂

😂 he certainly did

Exactly. So humble, spiritual and down to earth, fitting for the guy that wrote «Taxman».

Good points

Yes, but George fought him and Olivia bashed him with a lamp, didn't she? I remember thinking at the time that, while they promoted peace and love 👍, they didn't let anyone try to hurt them. I admire them both. Rest in peace, George. ❤❤❤ We all certainly miss you.

@@ellymaschinowrinn8609 I read she hit him with a fireplace poker. Look up the story of the next day. They had a hired a new maid earlier in the day. I won't spoil it for you. Funny shit.

😂

I did know his gardener, his brother. Used to drink with him in Henley, really nice guy

8 Gardeners (including George)

You are such a simpleton that you probably think there is a contradiction, but you just lack understanding.

Another video shows that George Harrison loved to garden. A large part of him was focused on preserving a set of gardens that would otherwise be dug up and redeveloped. People like him have lots of friends who can be invited to come for long stays on a property like this. Live-in staff are necessary to tend the gardens and to make the houses liveable.

The biscuit?

​@@UKDroneFootage-db5dkI think he was referring to George's biscuit in Abbey Road studio, which was allegedly taken by Yoko.

😂

Don't think much of Graceland, considering what Elvis could have bought.

Brian sadly passed before George bought Friar Park in 1970. Brian lived in Sussex in the 60s, while George fornerly lived in Esher, Surrey.

That’s what George really used to do with his mates while he was recording, hanging out there with Clapton, Jeff Lynne, Joe Brown, Eric Idle and Carl Perkins…

I believe his wife

@@UKDroneFootage-db5dk She must pay huge taxes and maintenance. I don't envy her.

In the grotto

32 acres in Henley…

His wife now.

One song paid for this

Hi, great question, I conformed with all the CAA guidelines and checked for any flight restrictions. Not sure if you are aware but in the uk we are allowed to fly over and film peoples property. For example, aircraft don’t need permission and Google earth is another good example. It only becomes an issue if you make a nuisance of yourself and invade privacy through windows at close quarters. I have my drone license and have passed all relavant exams for sub 250g drones and plus 250g drones. Thanks for asking, hope this clarifies?

I believe that they did

A small army of gardeners and staff.

There were literally thousands of country estates in England in the past. 90 acres are a drop in the ocean for most of them. Many that are still in existence each can cover 1000's of acres. You can drive for miles & miles & still just see beautiful countryside 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿😊

It’s not 90 acres. Roughly 32.

@@GBURGE55 if there’s that many estates in England that are over 1000’s of acres. (Especially that close to London) It’s baffling to some Americans, that: Doesn’t your country have over 60 million people? and if it’s the UK is the size of the state of Oregon. So where do the other 59.9+ million people live?

@@MikeCee7 I said that there WERE thousands of estates of huge acreage. There's now only hundreds remaining, & many of the stately homes & grounds that weren't destroyed or had their land built on have been converted to (very expensive) apartments. When these estates were built (between the 11th/19th centuries) the population was NOWHERE near what it is today & most of the population lives in the cities. Although we're only a small island you can drive for mile's & only come across a couple of small villages or hamlets. Hope my waffling clears it up a bit for you😊

It may well be, I forgot about that, thanks

I believe so

That story isn’t true. It was a joke that was used to promote the film.

Yes, it is the property.

@@StrangeHistoryX Checked your answer and you seem to be right. 🥺

😮

Seriously?

😂 good point

And it was worth every dollar.

Not that bad, they had a wood stove in every room.

It would have but I would be in breach of copyright.

@@UKDroneFootage-db5dk it was still a great video.
