Si King has been supported by fans as he was seen alongside Dave Myers' widow after a memorial motorcycle ride in honour of the late TV star. Thousands of motorcyclists travelled from London to Dave's hometown in Barrow-in-Furness over the weekend as part of the first Dave Day.
Dave, who was part of the motorcycle-riding cooking duo with co-presenter and best pal Si, died in February at the age of 66 after suffering from cancer. Si announced the sad news in a heartbreaking message shared on social media, in which he confirmed he, Dave's wife Liliana Orzac, his family and close friend David were all by his side as he sadly passed on February 28.
It was decided after his death that Dave and Si's latest cookery series, Hairy Bikers Go West, would continue to air in his memory and the final episode of the series left viewers in tears, and their last cook book together has also since been released.

But on Saturday (June 8), Dave was celebrated after his hometown in Cumbria organised the tribute day which also included a music concert and a service of remembrance. The day raised funds for the Institute of Cancer Research, London, and children’s charity the NSPCC.
After an 'overwhelming' day, Si and Liliana took to the official Hairy Bikers Instagram page to thank everyone for their support. Liliana started the video by explaining how she felt: "Very tired and emotional. Yesterday, we had a Dave day. It was an amazing day," while Si supported her with an arm wrapped around her shoulder.
Si added: "It was. Overwhelming."
