Poignant messages, including a sign reading ‘Goodbye Jimmy’, lined the route past a lifeboat station, harbour and Peasholm Park. The journey ended at Woodlands Cemetery just before 1pm and Savile was laid to rest on top of a hillside overlooking the water.

Hospital porter Walter Jackson, who had worked at Leeds General Infirmary for 19 years, paid tribute outside the hospital where Sir Jimmy volunteered as a porter and for which he had raised millions of pounds: ‘He used to walk about and talk to everybody. He’d talk to anybody, it didn’t matter who it was. If someone was crying, he would go over. ’ On November 10 the focus of attention switched to Scarborough, the famous resort on the Yorkshire coast where Savile had an apartment and where he was to be buried – at a 45-degree angle calculated with a laser spirit-level so that he would be facing the sea.

Prof Hall announced a new hospital institute devoted to helping heart patients was to be created using a bequest from Savile’s will.
