OUTRAGED Royal Marines have wiped out all traces of sex predator Jimmy Savile from their world-famous commando base.

Savile had a long-standing affiliation with the Marines and was awarded the highly-coveted Green Beret in 1966.

He was even buried with the illustrious commando cap – awarded to him after a gruelling 30-mile march across Dartmoor with heavy kit – when he died last October aged 84.

But as the Savile sex storm intensifies, Commando officials have destroyed all remnants of the TV star at their training centre at Lympstone, near Exmouth, Devon.

Lympstone chiefs have stripped the camp’s Savile Room of any connection with the honorary marine, removing a framed photograph of Savile and the room’s nameplate.

Bosses are now holding talks to rename the room – often used for family functions – and eradicate four decades of the vile celebrity.

The serial paedophile DJ proudly maintained links with the corps, often attending their parades and ceremonies right up until his death.

A Royal Marines spokesman said the historic corps was sensitive to public feeling and had responded as the catalogue of horrifying sex attacks emerged.

He said: “The honorary green lid dies with the man so his honorary award doesn’t exist. It died when he did.

“The renaming of the function suite called the Savile Room is now under consideration and the framed photograph of Savile has recently been removed.

“The room is used for family functions and we are trying to listen to, and be sensitive to, the public and if taking the picture down does that, then we should absolutely do it.”

Savile was awarded the green beret after he his brother Vince, then a serving officer with the Royal Navy, completed an exhausting 30-mile speed march in eight hours.

Among Savile’s possessions auctioned for charity after he died were his Royal Marines flying suit and a bottle of 15-year-old single Highland malt from the Officers Mess at the Marines boot camp.

Savile’s coffin was even carried by Royal Marine pallbearers.
