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.
A charity named after the former television presenter has also said it is considering changing its name.
Police also said they have reports of someone attacking Savile's grave in Scarborough.
A spokesman for Leeds City Council said it has removed the inscription in light of the allegations.
Tom Riordan, chief executive of the council, said: "Over the past week we have become very aware of the allegations being made against the late Sir Jimmy Savile. In recognition of his charity work, he received the Leeds Award and his name was inscribed on the wall at Civic Hall. The response to the award was a clear indication of people's feelings towards Sir Jimmy Savile at that time.
"In light of the very serious nature of the allegations now made, we will be removing the inscription and have stopped work on other possible commemorations. We'll await the outcome of any investigations before deciding whether any further action is necessary."
