The headstone destruction was a major early point in the scandal. It therefore serves a double role educationally, by providing the reader a sense of the scale of events in October 2012 - the scale of the regard in which Savile was held and how he was thought of prior to the scandal, and the degree of destruction of that reputation and the purging of Savile memorabilia and legacy materials from public life. The headstone was one of the highest profile of these removals in the public eye, barely a week after the scandal began to break, and was subjectively the widest reported, but due to its destruction, a free alternative does not seem to exist and cannot now be obtained. The line 'there's no mystery to unravel' is also rather apt considering the revelations that would follow. |
