There were sightings of Damian and family vacationing in Italy with his brother Gareth Lewis earlier this month and now it seems Damian has made the trek over to Portugal, no doubt to meet up with his nephew Tom Yaxley in Madrid who is on his penultimate day of the Ride4Hugo biking campaign in support of Damian’s nephew and Tom’s brother Hugo, as well as Helen McCrory. More information about that here.

Damian stopped in to dine at the restaurant Borda do Cais located in Ferragudo, Portugal on Thursday, July 21, 2022. The restaurant specializes in fresh fish and shellfish, complete with a wine cellar. More information about the restaurant here.

by Lily Ford | Evening Standard | July 21, 2022

An Army officer has raised thousands of pounds for charity by cycling 2,100 kilometres from London to Madrid in memory of his “inspiring” brother and his aunt, actress Helen McCrory. Tom Yaxley, 32, is the brother of Hugo Yaxley and nephew of Damian, as well as McCrory, who died from cancer in April 2021 aged 52.

Mr. Yaxley has embarked on the cycle across Europe for Ride4Hugo, a series of fundraising events organised by friends and family which have earned more than £115,000 for four charities. Through tough gruelling climbs, injury, pain, heat, traffic and SHEEP! Nothing stopped him.

Polzeath Beach

Damian spent some quality time with his family on Monday, August 23, 2021 for a mass family pilgrimage to Cone Zone in Polzeath, Cornwall for what would have been his late nephew Hugo’s 21st birthday. Looks like he enjoyed an ice cream on a hot summer day at Polzeath Beach before joining in on a game of rugby. Although it is a sad day, it gave the family a chance to reflect on the quality times together and the incredible life Hugo had.
