It was said that he had been incensed at an objection by one councillor at a Nuneaton Town council meeting to the idea of a monument for Larry in the town. Apparently the comments made were unpleasantly homophobic. Larry asked his family to ensure that no memorial to him was ever to be erected there. He is buried in an unostentatious grave with other members of his family in Nuneaton,the town he loved.
