earlier this year. thousands of bikers will travel from north london to his hometown in cumbria, on what s being called dave day. for his wife, lili, it s an opportunity to celebrate dave s zest for life. our entertainment correspondent lizo mzimba has this report. over almost 20 years, dave myers became a familiar face to millions. we bought this at the market today. thousands of his fans will be taking part in a special event to remember him this weekend, an outpouring of love from the public that he probably could never have imagined. he didn t have a clue of all the magnitude of what was going to happen, it s amazing to see. i think his energy is still carrying on. i think people have picked up on his energy and it s amazing how it sjust rolling and rolling. it started with an idea and itjust grew and grew and grew to this magnitude.
well, why not raise money for charity as well? and we got 100 people involved within a couple of weeks, from all over the uk. it was amazing. and itjust grew and grew. seeing new people coming down, you know, once one person does it, then they pull other people in and everyone gets addicted. i get a real kick out of it because i know that they re just going to thoroughly enjoy the rest of their day. you get people who are right up to 80 plus and having fun and having a laugh and bringing the body boards down and screaming with laughter. woo! everyone is just so supportive. laughter.
