This really,have to agree with you on this one, whatever comes of this investigation finally, assault/abuse as a child is unlikely to fade from memory I agree.

I still doubt the whole figures being stated as to how many he allegedly abused but I do now believe there is substance to a good number of the allegations.

Savile, who has been the subject of numerous allegations of child abuse following the airing of an ITV documentary last week, was a regular passenger on Cunard’s ships.

He travelled on board the Queen Elizabeth on its first voyage around Britain in September last year, the month before he died, and was at the ceremony when the Queen named the ship in 2010.

He also greeted the QE2, Cunard’s former flagship, in a fishing boat off the coast of Yorkshire, on one of its final sailings in 2008 before it was retired to Dubai.

In January, the cruise line announced that its Queen Elizabeth ship would conduct a sail-by of Savile’s burial site in Scarborough on the North Sea coast next summer.

However, since the ITV programme was broadcast, the company has since withdrawn the event from its schedule.

The legacy of Jimmy Savile was today further obliterated after his name was removed from a conference centre, Saviles Hall at the Royal Armouries in Leeds.

No suspicion of doubt, there, then .....

The abuse scandal has now spread to the late star’s home town of Scarborough after a woman came forward claiming she was assaulted by him there in the 1980s.

The woman who was a teenager at the time of the alleged assault reported the incident to North Yorkshire police as the string of claims against the late TV star continued to grow.

It is the first allegation to be made connected to the town closely associated with Sir Jimmy and where he was buried following his death in October last year.

It is thought that the woman, who now lives in the Midlands, had been on holiday in Scarborough at the time of the alleged offence.

A spokesman for North Yorkshire police said: “The offence involving a young girl is alleged to have taken place in Scarborough in the late-1980s.

“This is the first report received by the force in connection with the enquiry and it has been referred to the Metropolitan Police Service who are co-ordinating the investigation.”

Relatives of Jimmy Savile are considering exhuming his body from the Yorkshire cemetery where the sex fiend was buried for fear that his grave could be attacked.

The shamed TV star – swamped with allegations of rape and sexually abusing children – may be cremated or moved to a secret location if his family decide to take the drastic action.

A source close to relatives last night told the Mirror they were thinking about moving his body from Woodlands Cemetery – after Savile’s gravestone was dug up yesterday to be smashed to pieces.

His family said they wanted to ensure the “dignity and sanctity” of the cemetery in Scarborough, North Yorkshire, fearing that angry mobs could descend on the quiet memorial site.

Yesterday officials confirmed it was possible to move a grave in specific circumstances, with the approval of the family or a coroner.

The process would require a licence to be granted by the Ministry of Justice and officials would be present on behalf of the Environmental Health department.

However, one official revealed that moving Savile’s grave would be made more difficult because his coffin was encased in concrete – for fear of grave robbers attempting to steal from the late DJ.

It is widely believed Savile, a renowned fan of expensive jewellery and ornaments, may have been buried wearing some of his trademark gold pieces.

Can't imagine how the family must feel right now :/

With regards to the story regarding the abuse of the girl by Jimmy Saville in Leeds General infirmary, June Thornton, a former nurse there, has said she saw him 'molesting' a female patient with brain damage. Surely a nurse has a duty of care to her patients yet there is no record of a complaint ever being made as far as I am aware? There are therefore three possibilities. Either this has been covered up or it never happened. If neither of the latter then I am appalled nothing was ever reported by the witnesses and steps were not taken to stop this from happening again to someone else.

She was not a nurse!

June Thornton was herself a patient at Leeds General Hospital in 1972 when the alleged incident happened

I heard her interview on 5 live this morning, she thought at first that Savile was a relative as he came in and immediately went to the girl who was in a high back chair and seemed to have some sort of brain damage (it was a neurology ward), he then rubbed her arms and then started to fondle her, this lady regrets to this day not saying anything.

does this scare anyone else?

You know you can be held accountable for posts you make on a forum, lets hope Brucie sues you, that is an outrageous thing to say without any basis in fact.

Well according to The Telegraph she was!

Quote: "June Thornton, a former nurse at Leeds General Infirmary, tells ITV1's Daybreak she saw Jimmy Savile 'molesting' a female patient with brain damage."

I see what you mean though from Sky.

"Former nurse June Thornton was recovering from an operation at Leeds General Infirmary when she says she saw Savile abuse the young girl."

So the girl was not in her care at the time. The way it was reported was that she was. And I should think she regrets not saying anything.

That maybe be so, but you cant just bandy names around just because they were in TV the same time as Savile. Careless talk and all that.

And Sky.

And I should think she regrets not saying anything.

I felt sorry for her, I think it has affected her deeply. People like June should not be used as scapegoats though, the real colluders were his BBC bosses and colleagues, and to a degree the NHS management.

Nobody is using her as a scapegoat as such. Just the fact if everybody did not report such cases, then nothing will be done about them. And this is what has very likely happened here.

Unfortunately the culture of the 60s and 70s in some areas was not to discuss such things, people would have been embarrassed and its likely unlike today that anything would have been done about it.

That is an answer a lot of people give, and whatever way it's said, there is only one response to that. And that is it's wrong.

People know the difference between right and wrong but refuse to do anything about it, enabling the abuse to carry on and for further victims to be affected by it.

I don't buy the above as an excuse for this not being brought to the attention of the authorities. If nothing ever came of any allegations, at least they could say they had tried to do something about it.
