Floyd was said to have enjoyed a last meal of oysters and partridge, with champagne.

A humanist service will take place at Ashton Court Mansion, Bristol, at 1130 BST followed by a private cremation.

The chef opened Floyd's Bistro - his first restaurant - in Bristol at the age of 22.

He went on to make several popular cookery series for the BBC. read more
