A great team and friends. Who brought hours of happiness to us all. The graves are on the left of the church, just as the path goes up.

I decided to go out at 7am in Holmfirth to pay my respects to the late, great Bill Owen (RIP) and his late, great fellow actor friend Peter Sallis (RIP), stars of the world's longest running TV sitcom, 'Last of the Summer Wine.' With the early morning light shining on the church it was quite a reflective, spiritual experience. Both are in entertainment heaven now, and we will always fondly remember how they made us all laugh! Thank-you and God-Bless you both. ๐Ÿ™
