A wonderful day in celebration of Graham Chapman. The blue plaque was erected by The British Comedy Society on the wall of the Angel Inn, Highgate. It was unveiled by Graham’s Monty Python co-stars Terry Jones, Michael Palin and Carol Cleveland, along with Barry Cryer who wrote many scripts with Graham at the pub. Friends, family and fans packed the place and the relaxed string of tributes was seamlessly hosted by Baz. The most touching was fromĀ Graham’s older brother, John, who joked that Graham was always late for everything. The only thing, sadly, he was early for was his own death. Funny. Moving. Perfect. The large Gin and Tonics, ice, no lemon went on for hours and hours. The plaque itself pays tribute to the “naughty boy” and delights in the knowledge that Graham “drank here often and copiously”.
