Lakeside set to remove picture of convicted sex offender Rolf Harris from wall after Lowe tweet

A historic venue, the Lakeside is known as one of its features for having the image wall of past players and also those in the entertainment business that have performed at Frimley Green.

But this past weekend, the World Seniors Darts Masters produced an unwanted blast from the past after an innocent tweet from John Lowe which showed him on the wall.

“Nice to be here in flesh, and still in the gallery at Lakeside,” tweeted Lowe.

But below the legendary 'Old Stoneface' was a picture of convicted sex offender, Rolf Harris who was still on display. He was jailed for five years and nine months in 2014 for 12 indecent assaults between the 1960's and 1980's but this picture will soon be taken down.

Daily Star Sport contacted the Lakeside with Joanne Potter, the daughter of Bob Potter and a director at the Country Club said that she didn't realise the image was still on show and would look to remove it immediately.

"We've got hundreds of pictures. It's like seeing an old piece of furniture every day, you don't notice it when you're actually here," she said.

"We will take a look around and see if we can locate it. We've got no problem taking it down. We don't want people like that on our wall."
