Paul Workman, 74, better known as ‘Mr Shakespeare', has been a regular sight in Stratford-upon-Avon, Warks., over the last eight years.
But before taking part in the town's annual Shakespeare birthday parade last month, he bowed out after Stratford-upon-Avon Town Council received a complaint.
He is accused of making offensive remarks, which are understood to have concerned “Muslims and Jews”, in a pub in February.
