For those who haven't heard, Jimmy Saville has passed away. 
I remember him well from the time I was at Lympstone (commando training centre royal marines) when he used to call in and wash his roller down at the MT section. He was a great fitness fanatic and was even made an honorary marine.
Once when one of the lads asked him if he ever felt a bit of a prat about the way he looked and acted, his reply was that he occasionally did but felt much better on his way to the bank.
Definately a great character imho.
