Talks have started over potentially bringing back Dave Day to the people of Barrow.

Westmorland and Furness Council has confirmed it is speaking to the relevant parties involved about how tributes could continue in honour of Dave Myers.

The famous son of Barrow died in February following a two-year fight with cancer which led to a large scale celebration of his life earlier this month.

A spokesperson from the council commented: "Lots of people have asked about the possibility of some lasting Dave Day legacy for Barrow.

"We’ve listened to those calls and we’re currently having discussions with partners including Barrow BID, along with Dave Myers’ family and Si King, about ways to keep the Dave Day spirit going.

"We’ll hopefully be able to share more details soon."

In the initial wake of Myers' death, the council's Chief Executive Sam Plum suggested that plans were in the works to create a 'permanent' commemoration of the Hairy Biker's legacy.

Following that point, the local community came together to give Myers the send off that he deserved. 

On Saturday, June 8, thousands of motorbike riders travelled from London to Barrow to celebrate his life, as well as raising funds for two chosen charities.

An estimated 200,000 spectators waved and applauded them on during the significant journey before they were welcomed in south Cumbria for an evening of festivities.

Performances took place in Barrow's town centre as well as at a concert at Barrow Raiders' Northern Competitions Stadium.

The event has gone on to raise over £95,000 at the time of writing, which will be going to NSPCC Childline and The Institute of Cancer Research.

The question for locals and fans alike going forward now is whether Dave Day has the potential to become an annual thing, or whether celebrations will take on a different form in the future.
