Jimmy Savile grave (31st October to 1926 to 29th October 2011)

 

 

I visited Scarborough a few months after Jimmy Savile had died. He was still viewed as a national treasure after decades of tireless charity fund raising. He’s been part of the television landscape all my life; Top Of The Pops on Thursday and Jim’ll Fix It on Saturday early evenings were top viewing.

 

These photographs show visits from about six months after he’d been buried (and the £4,000 flamboyant headstone had yet to be erected) to 2021. Nowadays you wouldn’t know he’s there.

He was buried at an angle to have a decent view of the North and South Bays…
