My dad was his gardener many years ago, and I had the privilege of meeting George Martin many times, and he was one of the kindest, most admirable men I have ever met. A true gentleman.

I never knew he died of stomach cancer, so sad. He lived a charmed life, such an amazing talent that helped The Beatles become legends. Rest In Peace, Sir George Martin, thank you for all the great music you produced for the world. 🕯

I live very close by and met him several times, he opened his gardens every now and then to raise money for the village and everytime I met him he was always a true gentlemen. He never refused giving a autograph and would always listen as you spoke to him about music, I'm quite sure he heard the same thing over and over again but would always look like it was the first time anyone said "soundtrack of my life". By the way, you have missed off the most important thing about the grave stone, carved into the stone right at the bottom is a Latin phrase, which when translated into English reads ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE.

Who doesn't like The Beatles, thanks George, I have been lucky enough to meet George. Thanks Paul

OMG!! His only been gone 7 years...the headstone looks 100 years old....there is no doubt. He secures his place in music history. And to be involved with the Beatles as well . We'll. That says it all...Such a shame his final resting place doesn't reflect the huge influence he was in social history. Again. Thankyou Paul for all the hard work you put in. And the many many miles you drive to bring these celebrities. And their final resting places to this public platform...your a star..really. you are. And really appreciated Why you haven't got a series on Dave I don't know lol????...😮

It's sad that the head stone has got like that and no flowers

I was 16 and regularly went to the Lunchtime sessions at the CAVERN and watched John, Paul, George and Pete and it was buzzing when news of a big music executive was visiting from London......unfortunately I never got to see him as he was in the opposite side of the cellar.....that's the only experience I have. Now at 79 I've've been a lifelong fan of these four lads who shook the world. Sad to see the resting place of such a prominent public figure who achieved so much in the state its in.

Lovely tribute Paul. Often Stuart Sutcliffe is also called The Fifth Beatle too. I have never had any connection with George, but I have walked past Paul McCartney a handful of times in Soho and St Johns wood. I feel a little sad his Headstone looks faded and unkept. However it’s a beautiful spot there and at least we can pay our respects. ✝️❤️

Lifelong Beatles fan so enjoyed this one, also those lovely views of Oxford. What a sterling career Sir George had. 🎶

My head was spinning with the details you provided about George Martin's life, and that was a condensed version. What a fulfilling life. A stark contrast to the grave of the child you showed, someone who didn't live long enough to fulfil his potential.

The headstone looks much older that 7years ,thanks Paul for another great video 👍🏻

Another great vid Paul always so informative on the person you are covering. Have to admit I was shocked at how the gravestone looked after only 7 years, but maybe that is how George wanted it to age gracefully as he did in life. Keep up the good work Paul 👏

I just watched your video about George Martin. It was a sobering thought that a person like George changed the world. It was George’s decision that we heard & experience the Beatles. His grave site looked old and in ruins. Thank you for the video.

"The early bird catches the worm" as they say but you're up so early, that's true dedication Paul. Loved the video, and the setting even very simple was really quite amazing 👻

Beautiful spot. As in life, looks like he's keeping his presence low key. Thanks Paul

He wasn't just the fifth Beatle just remember that magical sound and production he helped create a massive contribution towards arguably the greatest band of all time even now in 2023 they have never been equalled and I don't think they ever will

GORGEOUS LITTLE CEMETERY PAUL PITY THERE WRRE NO FLOWERS ON HIS GTAVE I HAVE HEARD OF GEORGE THE FIFTH BEATLE AS HE WAS CALLED SO GLAD HE HAD A LONG LIFE R I P SIR GEORGE MARTIN 🙏🥀

I went to Liverpool a week before Eurovision for a mod weekender, You can't not miss anything about the beatles or any other Liverpool stars, there's statues and plaques everywhere, Went to Mathew Street and its covered with shops selling Beatles memorabilia, Went in the new Cavern, It's such a friendly city.

Another fantastic video Paul thank you for all the hard work and research you put into bringing us these and long may it continue. Such a shame that his grave is in the condition it is

It does seem a little sad that his headstone is so simple but you never know if he wanted it simple after such a busy life! Great video yet again ❤

A very undated man. He did a lot for the beatles and comedy with the goons. He also did a lot for pop music in general and was a father figure to the fab four. Not enough can be said of him. A genius.

Amazing as always Paul . What a beautiful tranquil place to be laid to rest . 🥰🥰

Seen so many interviews with George its hard to believe he's gone and buried. His funeral was on my birthday march 14 thats great I will never forget him. I thought he was brilliant. He will be missed for sure.

Considering his huge influence and impact on our culture, it's disappointing to see the condition of his headstone and the grave. If I were closer, I'd be cleaning it immediately. Thanks once again Paul for such a respectful video.

Oh Paul! What a sad grave for someone who played such a large part in the Beatles career, fifth Beatle indeed. Yes it’s sad no flowers , but if he only died in 2016 the stone isn’t erected the first year, so I think shame on the stone mason who created/cut/ erected such an illegible piece of stone as a Memorial! To think we see stones carved by hand in some church yards that are over 200 yrs, and still clear to read, I’m disgusted and deeply saddened that this one should have deteriorated to such a degree in what, six-seven years!!! …..Hope his family or executors see this. I’m sorry the poor man battled with stomach cancer towards the end of his life, but hope he was free from pain when he passed in his sleep at the end. Now he can reminisce and talk to John, George and all the other Artists who he knew in this life, while he starts in his new life. I’m sorry I never knew him, but recall his always being featured in the papers about different bands and then latterly the Beatles in the 60’s. He put a lot into his career, and made a lot of records, which will continue to be played into the future. Thanks Paul! As usual you were up with the birds! Don’t think I could have got up to drive at that time of the morning, but it did look lovely and peaceful. Need a few sheep in there to keep the grass down!! Warm regards and as always many thanks for ALL you do. Best wishes from Norfolk! 🙋‍♀️😘👏🏻👏🏻🙏

How sad to see his gravestone like that for such a famous person, considering it's only 7 years old. Even the area around it isn't maintained 😢

Wow!,Sir George Martin👏,what an interesting life,right in the thick of it in the fabulous 60's and beyond,too bad his stone isn't more ornate😔,there is a great documentary/autobiographical film titled "Produced By George Martin",definitely worth a watch,thanks Paul.❤

George Martin produced comedy records prior to The Beatles, most especially The Goons who The Beatles were huge fans of and who influenced their own humour. So I think they felt a bond with him right away due to that. He was a sympathetic and open minded enabler of their ideas in the studio and it was quite fortunate, I think, that he became their nurturer and producer.

Absolutely loving your T-shirt!

What a lovely life he had…he was a legend and the making of the Beatles ,Cilla ect …it’s sad to see that he hasn’t got a cup with some flowers…Love that area around Faringdon Oxford…So beautiful…Thankyou Paul for another great video …Love your t shirt . class X💞

Hi Paul liked the video looking forward to the next video beautiful country side 🙂👍👌

He was a musician and record producer I think. He contributed a lot to The Beatles music. I also think he played on some of their songs but I'm sure Paul will explain later.

Thanks Paul, really enjoyed it. I love that you give so much background information. Keep up the good work 👍

I am a huge Beatles Fan & loved 5th Beatle George .. looking forward to this one 💙

A fantastic producer. A part of musical history. Lucky to have got his autograph on a few Beatles photos that i posted over to the recording studios he was working in around 10 years or so ago. Now proudly framed and up on my living room wall. Thank you George for your contribution to The Beatles.

53 years since they broke up and there is still no band to match them.

Good morning Paul. Well that was a surprise. When you entered that cemetery and said it was a small place and briefly scanned it with the camera there was a large grave in the background that looked either to be covered in a large piece of white marble or white stone chips (it was too far away to see properly) and I thought, ‘That’s it, seen it’! But no, Sir George’s grave turned out to be nothing spectacular and marked with a very plain headstone with no reference to who he was and no title preceding his name. Anyone stumbling across that cemetery on a holiday country walk and deciding to investigate further would have had no idea who George had been and his massive impact on the pop industry and popular culture, well done for putting Sir George Martin on the map of final resting places of people who should be remembered and celebrated. Incidentally, I was once told that George used to live in an impressive old house that stand on one side of the crossroads by the Hare pub (don’t think it’s a pub anymore but a longtime since I was last down that way) on the road out of Harrow Weald (where I was brought up) heading towards Stanmore. Sadly I can’t attach a photo to this comment but I’ll look it up on Google Earth and see if I can attach a link. Keep ‘em coming! Here’s the link: Google Earth Link earth.app.goo.gl/6pH49a #googleearth

Thank you Paul so much history about George Martin I never knew about and what a beautiful peaceful place he is resting at ☘

I got to see him do a talk about the beatles on a live stage,sad his grave has no flowers he was so so important to the beatles, another superb video

Hi Paul again i was surprised to see George Martin grave stone no mention of Sir r that he was knighted plain but yes he was a brilliant who bought many pleasures with the music he produced thanks Paul once again for a really fine video.

That's certainly a modest headstone and it's weathered badly in the short time since it was erected. I can't think of a single Beatles song I don't like. Thank you, Sir George.

I love your videos thank you for sharing

Hi Paul what can I say about Sir George Martin The producer of the most important group in musical history I was eight years old when I first heard The Beatles changed my life forever have been a fan of the band and pop and rock music ever since Im now retired but still work one day a week in a record shop where I live I have worked there for almost forty years The beatles were the biggest selling band then and now kids under twenty buy their music In fact you came by my shop when you did Peter Cushing We are near the Tudor Tea Rooms in Whitstable and yes I knew Peter very well lovely man Anyway thank you for visiting Sir George the fifth Beatle a true gentleman and a genius producer thanks Paul bless you

I think the headstone really suits is quiet and understated personality. Very elegant. Rest in peace. Sir George Martin, 5th Beatle forever

Great video Paul for a fantastic producer who played a huge part in The Beatles career. Good to hear that Norman "Hurricane" Smith got a mention too, he went on to have a few big hits of his own around 1971/2 with Don't Let It Die & Oh Babe What Would You Say. He will always be remembered for his work with Pink Floyd too. George & Norman, a great team.

Great video again Paul. Thank you so much for your time and your respectful videos. You are a great person and 51 isn't old 😊Lovely greetings from Germany Melinda

❤❤ Thank you so much for showing the grave of sir george Martin. I was not a big fan of the beatles but I like some of there music. Thank you sir george Martin for bringing us the beatles. May you rest in peace. Gone but not forgotten ❤ ❤

I was surprised his grave is not better kept. Usually in the countryside like that a relative comes along and tidy's things up a bit. My take on George is that the Beatles were the innovators and music makers and George was the cherry on top. They worked together to make in my view music I hope will never get old.

Love The Beatles …great video …..but how sad to see the grave so unkempt…. I’d of thought one of the surviving members or family would make sure it’s looked after …. Thanks for another fab tribute 😊

This is the location I've wanted to cover for a long-time, good work on this mate! Can't wait to see it ;-)

Thank you for a very interesting talk. Shame no-one is keeping the grave tidy😢

Thank you for showing this grave grave xx

What can I say except thanks , I really look forward to your video's ,keep up the great work you do

A great video Paul a fantastic tribute to a great man it seems a very lovely place he is burried it's a shame the head stone looks so old it looks as if it's been there for some time and no flowers

Great vid Paul,i find it humbling that Giants of the arts have such simple headstones,sometimes,they need to get some sheep in that church yard to help keep the grass down.

I love cemetery vlogs..... knowing where the rich n famous lay in rest.....thxs from California....

Oh my goodness...I was expecting something completely different! It does, as it’s been mentioned here look an older grave not one that’s 7 years old. Maybe that’s what he requested. Something simple and unobtrusive. He did seem a quiet man. Thank you George and thank you Paul for taking us to see him. 👍

Hello Paul👋 What a disappointing Headstone for someone who contributed to such a seismic change in British Pop culture. There should have been a more fitting memorial. It was a peaceful, and picturesque location. 🌿💐 Thank you for another interesting video 📹

Nice location in the midst of the landscape. Surprising how that headstone has weathered, it looks 40 years+rather than just 7. Good film, thx

Another great video, didn't no anything about his early life really interesting. How could anybody not like your videos paul.

Thanks Paul. I found this video very good. It’s so sad the condition of his headstone and no flowers

An absolutely legendary family, I remember Joey's death too. They died doing what they loved.

Sir George was a legendary producer and seemed such a humble person also. After the Beatles finished recording Please, Please Me in 1963, Sir George immediately told them: gentlemen, you have just made your first number 1. How true he was!!!!!

Excellent tribute to an iconic producer Paul...a lovely spot aswell...he certainly was a great fit for the fab four!...-it is a shame the grave stone deteriorated so soon...I will say it again..I really do want that t.shirt 😊...only hammer one I haven't got 😫..all the best hammergazz

Thanks again Paul, a very interesting story. As I’ve said in several of your other videos before, I was never a Beatles fan, but it is interesting to see where history takes us. This grave is a perfect example of how death is a great leveller. A very humble (and unusually worn) headstone for its age. Some people live successful lives in the public eye and can enjoy wealth and all the trappings that go with it. However you can’t take it with you and this humble grave in a small, poorly maintained cemetery is the evidence of this, together with the fact that no matter what your fame might have been, once your dead, it’s all gone, except for the memories. Your past is almost invisible. The one great thing about this grave is the lovely peace and isolation it enjoys in a beautiful rural location. I’ll be driving through Oxfordshire today on my way to Hampshire from Derbyshire !

Thanks for another great video…as others have commented the headstone looks really old and is quite an innocuous plot for a knight of the realm.

Thank you for sharing, Paul x

I saw him once in Leicester Square at a film premiere Evita.

Another great video has always Paul 👍

The grave site looks so uncared for and in such a miserable state. Sad to see how quickly his gravestone has worn and in such a short time. It gives no indication to the wonderfulness of the man himself. It could be just any bloke called George Martin. I'd love to see someone replace that headstone with a more fitting tribute to such an incredible man who shaped music for a long time and gave us so much joy.

another modest headstone - I really like that in a person.

Thankyou Paul 🧙🏻‍♀🧙🏻‍♀💐💐

Always great to listen to George's perspective in all the Beatles documentaries. And he worked with the Goons as well. Thanks.

Beautiful resting place and location Paul. Cant believe how faded the headstone is ....and NO flowers for such a great man. Thanks as always Paul ...great job 👍👍

Love the Beatles I was in Liverpool back in March for my 50th did the Beatles tour on the coach

Great video as always. I love your t shirt, the amazing Hammer films, Peter Cushion and Christopher Lee were a great team in these films. James Bond was actually based on Christopher Lee. Perhaps you can do a video about him? Such an interesting man.

Such a humble, nondescript headstone for such a stellar man.

Many years ago When I was a student studying classical Art at the Angel Academy in Florence, Italy they organized a show for the student's work at Jack Barclay Bentley, Berkeley Square, London, it was a 10th Year Anniversary of the Angel Academy of Art and Sir George Martin was there, I luckily had a brief meeting with him, as a big fan of his and the Beatles I froze to be honest.

A lovely and respectful video… I live in Swindon (he’s much closer to us than Oxford!) and one thing that I always thought was remarkable, is that he was listed in the main phone directory, number and address! Yes I was tempted, but no I never did!

What a lovely man, definitely the 5th Beatle. Thank you Paul, thought he would deserve a better resting place, well! A headstone cos the writing is fading, such a shame. Thank you Sir George Martin, rip xx

Every time "I fink I found it'" has me in gales of laughter. Another wonderful video. He was a grand man was Sir George. Thanks Paul. From New Zealand.

What a beautiful place to be laid to rest. Peaceful and tranquil Thank you for the video. It was so interesting

Lovely tribute, Paul. Shame about his gravestone which is overgrown and no flowers. His stone looks 100 years old not recent. I thought he'd have a nicer one that one. Such a shame. RIP George Martin. ❤

Apologies I didn't get to see this yesterday. Well done Paul and yes sad to see the state of his headstone 🪦 😢

Love the Hammer production Teeshirt...My Personal favourite has always been Peter Cushion

I'm surprised there was no more writing on his grave .. a big producer like that looks peaceful shame no flowers at the time of your visit .. Thanks for this episode 👍

Danke Paul!! Schön, ich liebe die Beatles auch sehr.❤👍

What a beautiful cemetery

Yes george martin was amazing,had heard about his life.

I don't believe what I'm saying the George Martin who produced the biggest pop and rock band in the history of rock and roll music and popular music is got a crappy fading headstone outrageous

Very humble headstone.

Thank you!

Amazing video again,Paul xx

That's sad with his headstone he was a great man helped so many people and groups pluss many more R.I.P Sir George ❤

Hi Paul another interesting video. What a peaceful and beautiful church yard x

Love the Beatles. My all time favorite band! And of course..John Lennon being my favorite Beatle. Without George Martin, there would have been no Beatles. Well, maybe not as successful. RIP George, CBE. From JRR Tokin, CBD. Watching now Paul. So glad you did one on George Martin. Cheers. Amendment: such a simple headstone for a legendary record producer. During your videos there's a couple resting places where I thought, "Geeze. That's sad how run down or simple some of them are". Especially when some of the ppl whom died were big stars

As a Liverpool fan thanks for the history not only for The Beatles but also Gerry and the Pacemakers, the Song You'll never walk alone became the anthem of the club, after the then Manager and squad having a private perdormance with the group, the then Manager told Gerry, you gave us a song, but also gave us an anthem, this was a great video thanks again Paul

Rest in peace Sir George Martin and no flowers

Another excellent video mate, I went to the cinema to see there first 2 films 'A hard days night' and 'Help' unforgettable experience, I was just about a teenager when sgt pepper was released what a masterpiece, thanks Paul another gem.

Such a good man and the person responsible for my second fav British apart from Queen 👑😎🤘 legendary band The Beatles, I have been fan since I was 2 yrs old , ,but the song that got me into the Beatles was Help in 1965 , going to a local fair , I have liked sir George Michael ever since then , their music is everything to me I'm massive fan , That been a good one Paul thank you ever so much Paul your dear friend always Rodney Roger brook 😎🎸🇬🇧🥁👑😁😘
