Colchester Zoo has confirmed it is take down a plaque unveiled by Rolf Harris at the opening of one of its new enclosures.
The disgraced TV presenter and cartoonist, 84, opened its £1million elephant complex Spirit of Africa back in 1997.
It contained five elephants. Tanya and Zola were later joined by Tembo, Rosa and Opal.
A spokesman for Colchester Zoo today said: "In light of guilty verdict we are to take down the plaque at the Spirit of Africa enclosure."
Harris, 84, was convicted at Southwark Crown Court yesterday (June 30) of 12 indecent assaults dating back to the 1960s.
One of the victims was revealed in court to have been the best friend of his daughter Bindi, who he groomed and molested from the age of 13.
The Metropolitan Police, and officers in Australia, have since confirmed more people have come forward with allegations of abuse.
