On Sunday evening, huge crowds gathered at Heaton Moor Park in Stockport to remember the social media star.

At the event, Martyn's partner Russell Hayward told the crowds that he gave him "so much joy and laughter".

"The pain I felt when I found out the news this week completely tore my heart out, but I will not let that pain tear away any of our precious memories we've shared," Russell said.

Martyn's parents said the celebration of his life would have been "what he would have wanted"

Flowers, candles and other tributes were left in the park, including a Coronation Street-themed cake, of which Martyn was a huge fan.
