Spike Milligan's gravestone returned after family feud Mr Milligan, 36, said earlier this year: "It has always been abundantly clear what my father wanted written on his headstone. To find out Shelagh's family are trying to add an inscription is infuriating and totally unacceptable. My family feels my father's wishes are not being respected and it is absolutely outrageous. I have spoken to the vicar and he has told me the wording cannot be changed if there's a dispute, so I'm hopeful it won't be allowed. The stone was removed for several months but has now been returned with Shelagh's name added along with the words: "May they rest together in perpetual light." A church member said: "The wording has been agreed with both sides of the family. We believe one family member was unhappy but he was not part of the decision-making process. Milligan has six children, including four from his marriages to June Marlowe and Patricia Ridgeway. While married to Ridgeway he had an affair with a young art student called Margaret Maughan, resulting in the birth of James. The comedian had another daughter in the 1970s by a Canadian journalist. He married Sinclair, a former BBC production assistant, in 1983 and left his entire estate to her upon his death. Several of his children launched an unsuccessful High Court bid to have the will revoked.
