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.
Visit 1 (June 2012)
He was buried at
an angle to have a decent view of the North and South Bays…
The £4,000
headstone that was smashed up and sent to land fill.
Visit 2 (April 2013)
As you can see
there’s now no sign of the burial place….
Visit 3 (February 2019)
Note the place
is filling up…
Visit 5 (June 2021)...
