Dame Deborah James ' parents raised a glass in her honour yesterday on a special occasion, after recently suggesting that others do the same in memory of their daughter.
The late podcast host - who had been diagnosed with bowel cancer around six years ago - passed away last week, aged 40, with her surrounded by loved ones at the time.
Her death prompted an outpouring of tributes and in recent days her charity fundraising initiative the Bowelbabe Fund surpassed more than £7 million in donations.
It's understood that some proceeds from the sale of special rose, named in her honour, have gone towards the fund - with her parents posing with such at an event yesterday.
The Harkness Rose Company had previously unveiled a rose named after the campaigner - with £2.50 from the sale of each going towards her fund, in aid of Cancer Research UK.
Deborah's parents Heather James and Alistair James saw the special variety of rose up close during a visit to a garden festival at Hampton Court Palace in Surrey yesterday.
Sharing a photo of them stood with a display of the rose, the family said on Instagram : "It was lovely to raise a glass today to Deborah at Hampton Court Palace Garden festival."
