Savile kept Di toys in sex den
SICKO Jimmy Savile hoarded toys mourners left as tributes to Princess Diana.

They were found in the hospital flat where he is said to have abused children.
It also emerged that he sexually abused children as young as seven.
The toys were left outside the gates of Kensington Palace after Diana died in a car crash in Paris in 1997.
After her funeral they were given to Savile to hand out in hospitals at Stoke Mandeville, Bucks, and Leeds.
But for years the TV presenter left them piled in three green binliners in his flat in the grounds of Stoke Mandeville Hospital.
Personal assistant Janet Cope, who Savile sacked after 32 years without explanation, said: “I doubt they were ever distributed to anyone.
“It’s a great shame because these toys were the public’s way of thanking the Princess for her work with babies and children around the world.
“Jim was close to Diana and Charles so it is odd that he never got around to underscoring her memory in a tangible way.”
A Stoke Mandeville source added: “I am sure the public will be shocked to hear Savile could not be bothered to give the donated toys to the sick child patients.”
Meanwhile it emerged yesterday that his youngest victim was just seven.
Lawyers revealed many were younger than first feared and some had quit Britain in a bid to bury memories of their ordeal.
Victims of both sexes have surfaced in France, Austria, Switzerland, South Africa and Australia.
Alicia Alinia, whose firm is representing 30 victims, said: “They go from the very young, seven or eight-year-olds, up to young adults. It’s a really wide range but far more children than adults.”
Lawyer Alan Collins, whose firm has taken more than 20 cases, called for Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary (HMIC) to investigate up to seven police forces for failing to bring prosecutions.
He said: “There are police forces who had complaints on their books and chose not, for whatever reason, to pursue matters. That is a serious concern.”
An HMIC spokesman said they were “monitoring” Savile’s case.
Lawyers are probing claims Savile was linked to crime gangs in Manchester.
Yesterday it was revealed 29 presenters and staff at the BBC have now been accused of sexual misconduct.
Culture Secretary Maria Miller has warned the BBC it could face a public inquiry.
