DJs included Pete Daley, Sempie, Nicki B, LP and Keefy, with MCs Hodge, Av-e, Arkie, Leroy and Wesley's favourite, Master C.

Keefy said: "The event was really successful; everyone enjoyed it. It was great to see Wesley's friends and family all together, having a good time in his memory. I cannot thank John from Hidden enough for his support over the last few months. The venue looked amazing and his staff were brilliant.

“I'd also like to thank each and every person who came and supported the event. The biggest thank you goes to the DJ and MCs, who kindly donated their time. Without them it would not have been possible

“I was also lucky enough to have support from Lewis Pearce, from thesafetysign.co.uk, who helped support the event – also Daniel Graham, Ashley Ashworth, and Scott and Natalie McMurray, who went above and beyond to help out.”
