Dave Myers died in February after suffering from cancer.
TV chef Si King has said an estimated 20,000 people are set to take part in Dave Day in honour of the late Hairy Bikers star Dave Myers, adding “it’s a celebration of my best friend that we’ve lost”.
King added: “It’s a celebration of my best friend that we’ve lost. And, yeah, it is, it’s very emotional. King said cancer is a “ruthless disease”, adding: “It doesn’t care who it takes. And that’s part of the reason that we’re here.“We’re all like-minded folk, you know, and it’s diverse and it’s as varied as every motorcycle that you see, all the characters and personalities here are just great.
Myers’s widow Lili Myers told BBC Breakfast: “We have people coming from all over the country. We have people coming from Texas, from Malaysia, from all over Europe.
