Stephen Clements' family and friends ask people to light candle and to make sure his legacy lives on

Friends and family of much-loved radio presenter Stephen Clements are asking people to light a candle at 7pm on Thursday in his memory.

January 6 marks two years since since the adored BBC and former Q Radio presenter died aged 47.

A post from the Stephen Clements Foundation said: "Tomorrow [Thursday] marks the second anniversary since Stephen Clements left us. Our hearts are broken and he is missed so much every day.

"In loving memory, we are asking you to light a candle at 7pm tomorrow

"Take a moment to reflect and a moment to remember him

"Think of Stephen, the laughs, and all the memories. Together, we can make sure his legacy lives on.

"He was a shining light, that will shine bright forever."

Back in June, a memorial bench nicknamed the ‘Stevie bench’ on the Castle Green at Carrickfergus Castle was unveiled in Stephen's memory.

Speaking to Belfast Live at the time, his brother Gavin said: "Since Stephen died, because we're non-religious, there's no burial site as such so there's nowhere for people to visit.

"So, we thought this buddy bench would be a perfect place for people to go and maybe just sit down and have a chat with their loved ones or sit and remember Stephen."
