AFTER the death of Jimmy Savile in 2011, the heinous crimes that the disgraced TV presenter had committed came to light.
Here we take a look at where Savile is buried and what was initially written on his grave.
Where is Jimmy Savile buried?
Following his death in 2011, Savile was buried in Woodland Cemetery in Scarborough.
He was buried at a 45-degree angle so he could "see the sea" - while his gold coffin was filled with gold jewellery, cigars and a Royal Marines green beret.
The burial site of Savile also shockingly faces two schools.

What was written on Jimmy Savile's gravestone?
Initially the disgraced DJ was buried with a headstone that read "It was good while it lasted".
It also described him as a “philanthropist, TV presenter, DJ, marathon runner, cyclist, wrestler, chieftan [sic] of Lochaber Highland Games”.
However, after Savile’s horrific crimes were exposed, undertakers removed the £4,000 stone in the dead of night, and it was sent to landfill.
In 2016, a campaign to have the body of Jimmy Savile exhumed and cremated was stopped in its tracks as no one was prepared to pay the £20,000 cost.
Lawyers revealed Savile’s £4million legacy had been drained by legal bills and compensation costs, or set aside for donations.
As a result, the body has been left in a now unmarked plot in Woodlands Cemetery, Scarborough.
Savile’s nephew Guy Marsden previously said: "It should have been done before his money ran out.
"I thought it was the end of it when they took the stone away but because he is still buried there it is like the place is cursed.
"Who would want their kids buried somewhere near him? If they want to dig him up and burn him, I could not care less."
Locals were left furious with that there was no funding available to remove his body - and as a result, some even changed their own funeral plans to avoid being laid to rest near Savile.

At the time of the decision to stop the campaign, Greg who has a relative buried in the same corner said: ‘’Savile should not be buried here with all the respectable people."
How did Jimmy Savile die?
Savile died at his home in Roundhay, Leeds, on October 29, 2011.
His death came two days before his 85th birthday.
His cause was pneumonia and police said there were no suspicious circumstances surrounding the death.
As mentioned above, sickening allegations of sexual assault emerged after Savile's death, and over 300 victims came forward to testify against him.
As well as his access to children through his work on Top Of The Pops and Jim'll Fix It, a June 2014 report found that Savile's fundraising activities at 28 NHS hospitals, including Leeds General Infirmary and Broadmoor, led to him sexually assaulting staff and patients aged between five and 75 over several decades.
He was never held accountable for his crimes as he died before the allegations came to light.
