Jimmy Savile's £4,000 gravestone to be dismantled following allegations The family members are deeply aware of the impact that the stone remaining there could have on the dignity and sanctity of the cemetery. Out of respect to public opinion, to those who are buried there, and to those who tend their graves and visit there, we have decided to remove it. There had been concern about security at the cemetery following a vandal attack on a commemorative plaque to Savile outside his former home on Scarborough seafront. Other mourners with loved ones buried in Woodlands Cemetery were concerned despite regular security sweeps - now extended into the evening. One of the closest plots is the last resting place of soldier David License whose sister Janet Taylor, from Leeds, said: "Me and my brothers are all worried. We are all very concerned because of the way things have turned out. No one knows what's going to happen. There are always some nutters out there and we don't want any of it going our David's way. Jimmy Savile just happens to be buried to two very brave soldiers - my brother and the man in the next grave which is also military. Mother in law Carole Taylor, of Scarborough, added: "They say there's security but they can't be here 24 hours a day." Savile's six-foot wide and four-foot tall memorial spanning three plots was unveiled two weeks ago. He was buried under the epitaph he dreamed up years ago - "It was good while it lasted." Three 18ins thick slabs contain poetry, a potted biography of the star, and a list of charities he supported. The past two weeks have seen most of the star's connections with Scarborough severed. On Sunday a footpath named after him - Savile's View - was dismantled following an attack on his nearby memorial plaque which was daubed with the words paedophile and rapist the previous week. Plans for a statue were also scrapped. There is no suggestion at this stage that Savile's remains will be removed. His body was entombed in concrete last November to deter grave robbers in search of bling - although the coffin contains no valuables.
