Hairy Biker Si King puts on a brave face and greets fans as he is seen for the ... trends now
Si King put on an incredibly brave face as he was seen for the first time since his beloved friend Dave Myers passed away.
Dave, who was best known as one half of the Hairy Bikers, passed away aged 66 in February with his TV partner Si King, 57, and his family by his side.
Si stepped out with his dear friend and colleague Nicole Kavanagh-Stubbs for a breath of fresh air around Soho, London on Friday.
They enjoyed a peaceful lunch at a popular eatery and Private Members spot The Groucho Club.
The chef was spotted greeting fans around the city and posing for selfies, while signing the odd autograph.

At one point of his outing, Si seemed incredibly grateful to dine at the restaurant and appeared overjoyed with the food as he shook hands with the chef.
Dave's death sparked an outpouring of grief from the general public - who mourned the loss of one of the BBC's most popular figures.
Si first met Dave when they were both working in the film industry - Dave as a make-up artist and Si as a locations director - and bonded over their love of food and motorbikes.
Over their career the best friends built up a reputation as the friendly faces of TV cooking, with 31 separate projects since they first debuted on the BBC in 2006.
Dave was married to Lilliana Orzac, whom he met while filming Hairy Bikers in Romania, in 2011 at the star's hometown in Barrow, Cumbria and was a stepfather to her two children, Izabelle and Sergiu, from a previous relationship.
Taking to social media a week after his funeral, Alpine F1 aero mechanic Sergiu said: 'It has taken me a while to write this as it's hard to think about it and still cannot believe you are no longer with us.
'Last week we said our final goodbyes to one of the most wonderful people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. Furthermore I had the honour of calling you my dad.
'You have always been an inspiration in my life, and will remain so even now that you are not with us anymore; with your infectious zest for life and unmatched passion for any endeavour you set your mind to. Without you, I would not be the man I am today.'
