Watch: Public cheer on thousands of bikers passing through Lancashire on M6 for Dave Day 2026

Thousands of bikers were spotted travelling in convoy along the motorway to Cumbria for Dave Day 2026 - the annual ride held in memory of Hairy Bikers presenter, Dave Myers.

Around 40,000 bikers and spectators travelled from London to Barrow-in-Furness on Saturday (June 20) for Dave Day 3, billed as the final "last ride home" in honour of the TV chef who died from cancer in 2024, aged 66.

Video and pictures show members of the public cheering the bikers on as they passed under a motorway bridge in Leyland on their way to their final stop in Barrow - Dave's hometown.

Crowds also took to motorway bridges in Preston and Lancaster to show their support as the convoy continued on its journey to Cumbria.

The memorial ride and celebration has evolved into a major national charity event since its launch in 2024, in honour of the ‘Hairy Biker’ - one half of the motorcycle-riding TV cooking duo, with fellow chef Simon ‘Si’ King.
