Much loved British music figure and afterlife believer dies

From the Sydney Morning Herald  

Veteran British broadcaster Jimmy Savile, a famously eccentric culture figure, has died at his home in northern England aged 84.

Savile, known for his garish tracksuits, chunky gold jewellery and boundless enthusiasm for pop music and charity work, was the host of two long-running British television programs and claimed to have been a longtime confidant to Prince Charles and ex-Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.
Rarely seen without his trademark large cigar, Savile had initially worked in a coal mine as a teenager before embracing music and built a national profile as a disc jockey - first in Britain's dance halls and later on radio, including the renowned Radio Luxembourg.

Probably less well known is that Sir Jimmy Saville OBE often spoke of the messages he received from his beloved mother Agnes Monica Saville. 

Jimmy and his mother were extemely close and for quite a long time after Agnes died Jimmy was fairly distraught. But as time went on he spoke of the joy of how he and she communicated every single day with sometimes Agnes giving Jimmy some well neeeded advice.

In an interview in 1984 on BBC radio, Sir Jimmy said :"I never step outside my front door without having a good chat with Mum on the otherside and getting some advice from her"
