Hairy Bikers' Si King paid tribute to his late friend Dave Myers two months after his tragic death. Dave died in February aged 66, almost two years after he announced he was receiving treatment for cancer.
On Monday (April 23), friends and family of the TV presenter gathered to celebrate his life. On the Hairy Bikers' official Instagram, Si shared a snap from the evening alongside an emotional caption.
The 57-year-old wrote: "Last night friends, family and industry celebrated Dave’s life on the stunning 3rd floor at @fortnums thanks to CEO Tom Athron and his brilliant team.
"We had a wonderful evening reminiscing about our dear friend and the room was filled with love as you’d expect – Dave would have loved it. Thank you to all that could make it – you made it very special."
A number of attendees commented on Si's post as they reflected on the "perfect" evening celebrating the beloved chef.

In a heartbreaking post, the 57-year-old said that she is "moving forward with him" after her "life stood still" when Dave died.
Taking to social media, she began: "Life stood still when I lost Dave. It still seems still, empty and sad. And I know it might seem too soon to even consider moving on. How can I move on from this wonderful, exhilarating, out of ordinary on so many levels, life that I shared with an extraordinary man? When he is everywhere and in everything around me?"

The coach and hypnotherapist continued: "I tell you how… I MOVE FORWARD WITH HIM! He will always be part of me, I am who I am because of him, he helped me shape the last 20 years of my life. I am ME because of HIM.
"There is grief to go through, but I won't let that keep me stuck, or fall into illness… because he wouldn't want that for me! I plan to live my adventures and take him with me! Experience life with him in my heart! Make his impact on my life meaningful!"
Liliana added: "Write my next chapters with the excitement and the joy he taught me life can be lived with! Carry his zest for life with me! Laugh and love like Dave! Having Dave Days for the rest of my life! I'M MOVING FORWARD WITH HIM!"
The couple met in Romania while Dave was filming Hairy Bikers. They tied the knot in 2011 and Dave was a stepfather to Liliana's two children Iza and Sergiu.
