Sir Jimmy Saville died last night aged 84. Another part of my childhood memories passed away. RIP Jimmy | ||

I loved his broadcasts on Radio Luxembourg in the early 1960s. RIP. | ||

Yes, I was really sad to hear he's gone. He was a local lad from Leeds, so there have been a lot of tributes to him on the local news here. I have very fond memories of him on TOTP when I was a youngster, and Jim'll Fix It later. Not forgetting the work he did for charity, fundraising for Leeds General Infirmary, Stoke Mandeville Hospital and so on. A great bloke by all accounts. RIP Sir Jimmy. | ||

Now this is what I call class. Sir Jimmy requested that his coffin should be on display in a Leeds hotel before his burial - a kind of "lying in state". Pure class! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leeds-15536935 | ||
