Patricia’s Final Journey: A Heartfelt Tribute by Engelbert Humperdinck
In a deeply moving and emotional message shared during his “Tuesday Museday” segment, renowned singer Engelbert Humperdinck opened his heart to fans around the world to speak about an intensely personal and sorrowful moment in his life — the final journey of his beloved wife, Patricia. With a voice heavy with emotion, he announced that on Tuesday, August 3rd, Patricia, affectionately called “Popey,” would be laid to rest.
The journey will begin in Market Harborough, under the care of J. Stamp and Sons, and continue to their family home in Great Glen, where Patricia will be surrounded by her loved ones before proceeding to her final resting place in Loughborough. Though the service plans have been kept private due to COVID-19 concerns, Engelbert expressed his deep appreciation for the communities that shaped Patricia’s life — from Queniborough, where she was born, to Leicester and finally their home in Great Glen.
Engelbert invited anyone who might be along the route — especially in Great Glen and Quorn — to offer a simple gesture of love and remembrance: a wave, a prayer, or a tip of the hat. He emphasized that even those far away can join in spirit, saying, “It doesn’t matter where you are in the world… please just say a prayer for my beautiful and wonderful wife, my darling Patricia.”
With tearful sincerity, Engelbert ended his message with a final declaration of love: “Just remember — I love you.”
This intimate tribute not only honors Patricia’s life but also reminds us of the enduring power of love and community, even in moments of profound loss.
