I fulfilled a 7 year journey today. We are in Northern France and today I became my Great Grandfather's first ever family visitor at his grave in The Somme. It was more poignant given that it's nearly Christmas. Was proud to lay a Wreath on his grave but it was so emotional too. I feel so much better about Christmas now that I've honoured him. To everyone on the channel, Merry Christmas

RIP Greg amazing your music will live on forever 🙏 thanks for all the joy never forgotten 🎉thanks poul nice video respect top man 👨 👏 👍

I’m a fan of lake and palmer, I love their music , I often wondered where Greg was buried , and I’m glad you found it , I think ile pay a visit to it in the summer , to show my respects . Thanks Paul , this was a real treat for Christmas .

Oh Wow! I love this Christmas song, absolutely stunning beautiful song and an amazing voice and all round talent. Thanks 👍 🌲😊❤

Wow many thanks Paul for doing this we love Greg kake, such a great guy especially in ELP. Problem is that find a grave says still burial details unknown.

I love that song it's great for the little children who know about FATHER CHRISTMAS as we all do

I lived in Poole for 15 years working for a stone mason / funeral director Anthony Ives , I’ve been in that cemetery many times installing grave landings so know it well close to the boat yard Lilliput , later did work at lakes house think it was a mill in its day just out of Wimborne , I know drip and Andy summers were from there as worked at Compton Acres where Andy summers sister worked , lots of memories as now back in Devon living , Greg’s farther Christmas song was to me the best of all , 👍

R .I.P Greg yep me too just one of my favourite Christmas songs 😊

🎄🎄🎄❄️❄️❄️⛄️⛄️⛄️MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE WHO READS THIS , MUCH LOVE TO U ALL ❤️❤️❤️🎄🎄🎄❄️❄️❄️⛄️⛄️⛄️xxx

Another great video! Thank you very much.

He was a very amazing talented musician and he was gorgeous...and his hair 😜, thank you Paul, rip Greg Lake...so sad not to see his name 😢❤xx

The timeless quality ( i believe in father xmas) is a one off, never to be repeated, his work with ELP is also sensational, brings me back to my youth, here's a merry xmas from Banff Scotland, love to you all.

If this song came out a year before or a year later it would have got to number one in the charts. It is a pity it came out the year it did. It certainly deserved number 1 spot. I preferred this song to queen's B R.

I’m a massive fan of ELP, didn’t know he was from Dorset. I believe in Father Christmas is undoubtedly the best Christmas song ever it’s on the playlist every year. Great video, very interesting. Happy Christmas.🎄

Always liked the line in the song "the Christmas you get, you deserve ".

Merry Christmas Paul to you and your family have a gooden as we say in the black country 🎄👍

What a great song God bless him ❤

In my opnion the greatest christmas song ever written.

'I Believe in Father Christmas' is a very haunting song IMO

ELP # 1 !

Look forward this video Paul., Emerson, Lake and Palmer what brilliant band. Fanfare for Common Man was something else. Such shame two these great band members passed Still regularly play that tune. Very merry Christmas Paul and everyone..

My all time favourite Christmas song

No I don’t mind I love it

Merry Christmas Paul and to everyone reading this x

One of my favourite Christmas songs

Thanks Paul, I missed this one

Emerson lake and palmer were fantastic and Greg died so young

My favourite ELP is fanfare for a common man , apsolutely brilliant track .thank you Paul that was so fabulous, I looked on Wikipedia and it doesn't mention anything at all where Greg's buried. So it must be here I guess rest in eternal peace forever prog legend, have a great Christmas ⛄🎁🎉🎄🧑🏻‍🎄Paul really like what you do for us much appreciated mate and I would really like to meet and greet with you ,next year sometime if you come to west Yorkshire UK 🇬🇧 have a gud en, your dear close friend always Rodders 🎄⛄🎄🧑🏻‍🎄🤘🏻🤘🏻🎸🥁👑 Thank god it's Christmas yeah 😁 22:20

😊I crank up the song “I believe in Father Christmas “ every Christmas without fail and sometimes randomly throughout the year.

Merry Christmas Paul thank you for running a continuous and respectful series of late famous people

RIP Greg Lake. Crimson info jumped from playing on stage with Fripp to ELP start. First album is a classic with “20th Century schizoid man” single.

Always been my Bucket List: Fly from CT, USA and visit Greg's cemetery

One of my favourite Christmas songs, so meaningful and beautiful. Merry Christmas Paul! I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and a happy new year.

Brilliant rip Greg

Another great video thanks Paul and merry Christmas to you and yours

It does happen a lot when children are buried or cremated with out a mention on the headstone. It happened to my mother's Friend who was buried with her mother with no name added. Really sad though as nobody should be forgotten. A very moving video for the time of the year. Happy Christmas everyone.

Same with my twin sister , she died about ten mins after we were born and she’s buried with my dads Nan …not on headstone :( x

I think with celebrities it could be so the grave doesn't get damaged or anything stolen off it. Other reasons could be no room. We couldn't add my Mums name to the headstone where her Dad, Mum and baby sister are but we did get a grave vase engraved instead

Hi paul another cracking vid i always enjoy them. Love i believe in father Christmas a brilliant song. R.I.P. Greg.x.

Happy Christmas and a very happy new year Thankyou for everything you do for us 🌲🧁🥂

Yes Paul it's a special Christmas present 🎁 😀 I loved it ❤️ ❤😂🎉😢😮😅😊

Thanks on the Greg lake Christmas I live in boscombe and love the song I would love to go and pay my respects and also to the man who does the show about looking out for each other at Christmas especially I have just become a lone parent after 35 years and the loneliness is so sad to me so I can feel for people being alone just say hi to someone can make all the difference have a wonderful Christmas everyone

Thank you, Brian. Make sure you look after yourself and your child obviously…. Stay strong and keep punching… have a merry Christmas

Happy Christmas Paul..thankyou for the videos which you have produced this year.. Remember ELP very well and Greg recording this Christmas song in 1975..I remember buying the single.. as you alluded to it's more about his dislike of the commercialisation of Christmas and the loss of it's true meaning and that is nearly 50 years ago... As for his interment, possibly / probably with his parents but not sure, only his family will know for sure or maybe Carl Palmer.. Whatever, may he continue to RIP 🙏

Lovely video Paul …I love that Christmas song with Greg lake …so good …life is so heartbreaking 💔especially this time of year when you have really sick family members ,but we should appreciate everything we have in life …merry Christmas Paul and all the best for 2024 …Thankyou so much for this Amazing channel I Adore it XX💞🎄🍻🎄🧑🏻‍🎄🥂

i loved that song. and every thing he did

Thank you for your videos, we appreciate them, Merry Christmas from Australia 🎉🎉

Happy Christmas to you Paul I hope u have a lovely one thanks for everything you do for us xx❤️❤️🎄🎄

Loved this , ironically I bought the 7 inch vinyl of this only a few days ago for the husband ( big fan of the channel) for Christmas! Happy Christmas 🎄

Hi Paul I grew up with ELP and we still sell their albums in the record shop I work in in fact we have Pictures At An exhibition in the window at the moment Im now selling ELP to a generation of kids who were not born in the Seventies such is the brilliance of their music Im sure both Greg and Keith would love that I find it ironic that everybody regards Greg`s christmas song as a pop classic as it was indeed as he stated an anti Christmas track and a social comment on how christmas was so commercial and had lost its meaning Indeed the last line he sings is "The Christmas you get you deserve" Despite that it is a brilliant record God bless you Greg not just for ELP but for your fantastic vocals with King Crimson Once again Paul another superb video paying respects to one of my heroes Hope you have a wonderful Christmas Looking forward to more great videos next year thanks once again Paul

Hi Paul liked the video ❤ the introduction Merry Christmas thank you looking forward to the next video 🎄🎅🙂👋👌

Merry Christmas Paul.. looking forward to more next year.

Another great video from the greatest English utuber a happy humble human being have a happy Christmas 🎄 and a happy new year

You've done it again!! Another great video. Loved ELP and especially loved this Christmas song. Also learned some interesting facts that I never knew. Thank you Paul. Wishing you a Merry Christmas. Can't wait to see what you have in store for us in 2024!!

Lovely song Paul & another great festival video. P.s If his ashes are interd there, surely the information would be on the burial records with the cemetery. Just a thought. Keep up the good work 👏

Merry Christmas mucka and thanks for all your vids

Thanks Paul for a another great video great song I love old building any way wish you a merry Christmas and Happy New year love watching them every week do not stop 😊❤

Hiya Paul great video as always Greg lake was a brilliant musician such a classic Christmas track. It's always been on the radio for many years merry Christmas to you and everyone else hope you have a great new year ❤️👍

Merry Christmas, Paul and family, and yes, you're right about some people who have a hard time this month.

All ways loved 🥰 elp and still listen to i believe in Father Christmas 🎅 so this was a lovely present 🎁 to hear about his life and where he died thanks Paul hope you have a wonderful Xmas and a happy new year 🥳 see ya in the new year bye 👋

Well done Paul, thank you.happy Christmas and all the best for the new year.❤

Love that Christmas song! Merry Christmas, Paul! Looking forward to all your videos in the New Year! 🎄💕

Great video again Paul, Thanks for doing the visit. Just a ramble, on your pause at the Slade family. Welsh Musician Chris Slade who hails from Pontypridd has worked with Manfred Manns Earthband, AC/DC and Tom Jones. I am just wondering if there is a family connection somewhere in the past between the two Slade families. Just a rambling thought.

Well Done Paul, I guess that took a lot of leg work trying to locate Greg’s grave. His Xmas Track from 1975 is just a relevant today as then. War keeps raging and the same people keep funding it. Same shit, different decade. Frohe Weihnachten 🎄

Another great video Paul, & thanks for all your hard work keeping us informed & entertained. Merry Christmas, hope it's a good one for you 🫶

A beautiful protest song about the commercialization of Christmas.

Merry Christmas you have good day and safe one

Thank you Paul. 😊
