"The best is yet to come" is Frank Sinatra's.
Sammy Davis Jr.'s reads "The Entertainer. He did it all."
And can you guess who had the words written... "I told you so, you damned fools"?


For The One Show, Gyles Brandreth visited Brompton Cemetery. Opened in 1840, it holds many thousands of graves, including Emmeline Pankhurst's. The names on the gravestones in this cemetery, for example Peter Rabbett, Mr. McGregor and Mr. Nutkins, inspired Beatrix Potter when she was creating some of the characters in her books.

What will your epitaph be? What words will sum up your life? Humorous? Meaningful? We'd like to know the words you'd choose to have on your gravestone. Tell us below.
