The hotel where Jeremy Clarkson is alleged to have punched Top Gear producer Oisin Tymon will put up a plaque to mourn the star's BBC career.

Clarkson, 55, is said to have flown into a rage when Tymon offered him soup and cold meats rather than steak at the Simonstone Hall hotel in Hawes, North Yorkshire.

Reports claimed the presenter called Tymon a “lazy Irish ****” in the incident, which saw Clarkson suspended before the Beeb opted not to renew his contract.

The plaque, posted by the hotel on Facebook, reads: “Here lies the BBC career of Jeremy Clarkson. Who had a fracas on this spot 4th March 2015. The rest is legend.”

Simonstone Hall, which bills itself as the "perfect haven to relax and unwind" - wrote in the post: “We were presented with this plaque from one of our guests last night!

"We think it would be quite appropriate to put it on the patio where the fracas took place!!”

The donor remains anonymous.

After the Clarkson incident Tymon went into hiding, having received death threats from online trolls loyal to the outspoken presenter.

Clarkson appealed to fans to stop trolling the producer, saying: “All I would like to say is I wish people would leave Oisin alone, because none of this is his fault.”

Oisin has not spoken publicly, but after Clarkson’s contract was cancelled his lawyer said: “Through absolutely no fault of his own he found himself at the centre of a massive news story, but despite that he has conducted himself with dignity, restraint and balance.

“He now simply wishes to return to the job he loves at the BBC.”

However the Mirror reported how Tymon, 36, rejected a chance to return under new host Chris Evans before choosing to sue both the BBC and Clarkson.

The Irishman - who spent six months off work on full pay - stunned BBC chiefs by turning down the offer, even though Evans personally gave it the go-ahead.

Instead, the 36-year-old launched a lawsuit against Clarkson for racial harassment and personal injury, and is seeking at least £100,000 damages from Clarkson and the Beeb.

Recently a former Top Gear editor recently blasted Clarkson for the "stupid and unnecessary" punch that "let down" the team behind the motoring show.

Former script editor Richard Porter wrote in a behind-the-scenes book: "[We would] happily work long and late, trying to find a unicorn, a Talbot Samba and a cat that looked like Kylie Minogue if that's what Jeremy wanted.

"When the reward for the team's hard work was a smack in the chops, that suggested a lack of respect for the people who worked so tirelessly to make his vision a reality.

"[When he apologised to us] he didn't sit down or even take his jacket off. He just told us he'd made a confession to management and that he was sorry to all of us.

"With that he left the office for what would be the very last time.

"I was furious. Properly, knee-jigglingly, teeth-grindingly furious.

"His apology seemed half-hearted and feeble, like a child saying the word sorry because they know it's what the adults want to hear, rather than a sincere reflection of remorse."

Clarkson and former co-hosts James May and Richard Hammond - who chose to follow him out the door - have since signed a mega-bucks deal to make a new motoring show for Amazon Prime.

That will be screened late next year or early 2017.

Top Gear is due to return with Evans and a new line-up next May - and Evans was recently spotted filming the new-look show .
