Dozens of Chislehurst locals have paid a memorable tribute to one of the most loved personalities in the area.
Dennis Wills, 88, died hours after watching Bromley FC play at Wembley in the FA Trophy final last May.
Most folk in Chislehurst knew Dennis for his simple loves of people, beer, betting and football.
On Saturday friends and family of Dennis, who would have been 89 on St Patrick's Day, held a memorial walk around Chislehurst's various pubs.
His old mates at his favourite boozer, the Imperial Arms Pub, known as The Impy, organised the tribute.
Long-time friend Simon Little, 63, said it was a "great success".
The pair first met in 1970 at The Impy when Simon was just 15 and Dennis, 40, was part of the pub’s famed darts team.
Speaking about his friend, Simon said: "Although diminutive in stature and having lived a tough life, he was a larger than life personality who always had a cheery smile and cheeky remark for everyone."
He was known for being particularly small, and someone who always ordered the same thing, a half pint of bitter.
Dennis used to go around the different pubs in Chislehurst every day to tell anecdotes oft days gone by.
A framed photo of Dennis now sits behind the bar of The Imperial Arms.
The weekend walk started with a few friends going to The Chestnut café where Dennis always went for breakfast before visiting Corals to place a bet in his memory.
Everyone then gathered at The Gordon Arms pub before visits to Queens Head, Sydney Arms, Bulls Head, The Crown, Tigers Head, Ramblers, The Bickley and The Imperial Arms.
"The whole event took us about six hours, and we believe that Dennis would thoroughly have enjoyed the day should he have been still with us," Simon, who gave a eulogy at his friend’s funeral, said.
Landlord Alan Weeks told News Shopper he has been in charge for seven years and that Dennis was a daily visitor.
"He would come down the hill about quarter to three with his little baseball hat and trousers that were a little bit short," Alan laughed.
"He would push the door quite hard, look around and see who was in and then sit in his usual place for his half pint."
Alan added: "He was a legend. He was someone everyone knew, and he would go to about four or five pubs every day."
Dennis was believed to have celebrated his 21st birthday at The Impy, with a glass display cabinet getting smashed during the party antics.
Eventually he became passionate about cooking and looked after apprentices for 20 years at the Coed Bel hostel in Lubbock Road.
The Bulls Head pub offered its own tribute to Dennis by displaying a picture tribute.
The walk is now being considered as an annual event.
