    My late father was working in the Grand Opera House, Belfast, Northern Ireland as a stage hand and met Stan & Oliver when they appeared there in 1952... I always remember my dad telling me how down to earth and friendly they were towards everyone... Especially babe Hardy. God bless them both... Legends of comedy.

    Stan Laurel, in his twilight years, was grateful and amazed that Laurel & Hardy's popularity had lasted so long. That was in 1965, at this writing more than 50 years ago. Wherever they are, I hope they know how beloved they were, and still are, in the hearts of their fans.

    I am 44 years old, and watched their movies a lot on TV when I was a kid. I still adore them today, and it fills me with a sad but also a good feeling to see you visiting their graves. They mean a lot to me, and I am sure to many of us. I wish I could have met them in person.

    As a young child I remember watching Stan & Ollie on TV especially when I regularly visited my Nan and Grandad in Bedworth (UK). Such happy childhood memories of halcyon days and wholesome Grandparents who enjoyed their gardening and talking to the birds. I almost thought Stan and Ollie were my Grandparents' friends. Those days are over and unfortunately so too are the two best comics that I have ever witnessed. I hope the 'Lot of fun' continues in heaven. Please save me a seat.

    Great tribute to Laurel & Hardy--absolutely my favorite comedic team. Who can forget their unforgettable facial expressions, along with their perfectly timed lines? I knew Laurel was married four times, but I never knew Hardy was ever married--until your video displayed "beloved husband" on the memorial plaque. Wikipedia stated Hardy tied the knot three times.

    The remarkable thing about both Laurel and Hardy is that they made the transition from silent films to talkies with no difficulty. That wasn't always the case with silent film stars. Both men's voices were perfect for their screen characters.

    Initially i thought Oliver Hardy's grave was very understated considering what he brought to the entertainment world, but then the camera zoomed in on the lovely plaque on the wall. Stan Laurel's grave is in a truly beautiful setting. They were both geniuses of comedy, never equaled let alone bettered. Certainly will never see the likes of them again. I think it was nice to see the 2 comedy greats are laid to rest a relatively short distance from each other. Thank you for taking the time to do the video, very respectively done.

    Mr. Laurel died 4 months before I was born. Love watching those guys they live on forever in film.
