Jimmy Savile headstone removed by family ‘out of respect for public opinion’ – as police launch hunt for BBC child abuse accomplices

Jimmy Savile is today lying in an unmarked grave after a dead-of-night operation to remove his £4,000 headstone at the request of his family.

Undertakers worked in the dark to rip out the giant memorial and have said it will ‘be broken up, placed in a skip and used as landfill’.
