SIR – Yet another local hero died recently – Sir Jimmy Savile, aged 84. He will be best remembered for his radio show and TV shows like Top Of The Pops and Jim’ll Fix It, and the charity work and runs he did too.

I remember him doing a run from Sainsbury’s Greengates to Calverley and back in the 1980s or 1990s.

I believe both Jimmy Savile and Charlie Williams worked in a mine in Barnsley as Bevin Boys before becoming famous.

I wonder if there will be a statue or a memorial to Sir Jimmy in his home town now?

I don’t think there are many local heroes about nowadays. Rest in peace, Sir Jimmy.
