Savile inscription is removed by council

An inscription in honour of Sir Jimmy Savile is the latest memorial to be removed in the wake of the allegations of sexual abuse against the former DJ.

The late celebrity's name was inscribed on the wall at Leeds Civic Hall in recognition of his charity work but this is now being taken down.

It is the latest dedication to Savile to be removed after a plaque and a street sign in Scarborough were also taken away.
