BBC racing commentator John Hunt has urged people to "make the most of every day" after his wife and two daughters were killed in a crossbow massacre.
Carol, 61, Hannah, 28, and Louise Hunt, 25, were allegedly tied up before being shot at their home on July 9.
ITV commentator Matt Chapman has said more than £35,000 raised so far after the attack would help his friend's surviving daughter, Amy, 23.
Mr Chapman said: "Family means more to some than others and for John, his family unit was something he absolutely adored.
"He told me, 'Matty, the message I would tell everyone is you never know when it's going to be the last day you see your family.
"The message was very clear: make the most of every day because you just don't know." Louise's ex-boyfriend Kyle Clifford, 26, has been arrested on suspicion of three counts of murder.
