Who was Simon Yaxley?
Simon was one of the best presenters of Lakeland Radio and latterly at BBC_Cumbria. Simon was highly recognized for his performances in several pantomimes among amateur dramatic organizations in Cumbria.
‘Yakkers’ moved to Cumbria from Clacton-on-Sea in Essex and hosted Lakeland Radio’s morning show until the station was purchased from CN Group in 2017.
He then went to Radio Cumbria to host a brand-new show. He gained notoriety around the country due to his unique voice.
When Simon worked at Lakeland Radio, Andy Milliard, who used to co-present with him, said of him: “He was just radio through and through; it was his actual passion.” Simon was a wonderful performer, a good person, and a great friend.
“He was sad when Lakeland Radio stopped broadcasting in this region because he was so chuffed when he got his shot on Radio Cumbria. He was such a happy-go-lucky guy he had so much passion for local people.”

Waking up this morning to the truly devastating news that Simon Yaxley has passed away.
We crammed so many memories into our years at Lakeland Radio, and I am grateful for all of them – from the mundane to the hilarious and everything in between. Simon had so much talent to share, and so much kindness to give. He will be sorely missed.
Rest in Peace, Yakkers X

Absolutely gutted to hear the news of Simon Yaxley’s passing. Manny and I considered him to be part of our Christmas family and shared some amazing times together. Many of you that came to see us in various Pantos will have laughed with him and at him. He DJ every NYE we had together and always made Kendal feel like coming home to us.
Please can someone let us know when the funeral is likely to be?
RIP to our friend.
