As you may have heard, yesterday was the day that Sir Jimmy Savile finally got to see all his fans. Unfortunately, he was in a coffin at the time, in the Queens Hotel in Leeds, lying in state. A bit unusual even for Jimmy, but also kind of nice in a slightly bonkers way.

Anyway, here's an official ITV news report of the event and also one made by a fan of Jimmy's. It's all a bit strange.

And finally, it's also worth having a quick look back at the documentary Louis Theroux made about the knighted TOTP presenter. It's probably important not to forget that while he did a fantastic amount for charity and was also beloved by many across the country, he was also quite seriously crackers at times…
